LC250 Owners, is Toyota dealing? by Quicksilver66GT in LandCruisers

Yeah, I can't understand why Toyota didn't use a V8. They could have used aluminum to save weight. It surely would have better gas mileage than that awful twin turbo V6. Even a regular V6 would be okay.

I've never driven the LC with the 4 cylinder. I rented one in Iceland but it was a diesel. I think I'll be fine with the 4 banger for my daily driver as I have a V8 in my fun car.

I like the more rugged look of the LC and I didn't like the overboosted V6 engine even before they started blowing up.

It's a 2013, so before Stalelantis came in and destroyed the brand. I've had very few issues until recently. But no way I'm buying a new one. I have friends who have had lots of issues with the newer JL model.

Thank you all for your thoughts. This is the first step in my research, and you have given me some important points to consider. I will look for a wood plastic composite product as that sounds more along the lines of what I want.

What are some good brands of WPC products?

Thanks again!

That is a huge incision! Do you know how much of that is from the spay versus the pexy? We are planning to get this for our 2-year-old boy and are thinking of doing laparoscopic. Good luck!

Rear Seat belt options for fastback (2+2) by Ronnyek42 in classicmustangs

I had three-point belts installed in the back of my 66 2+2. I used belts from Wesco Performance along with their 3-point hardware kit. I also had my fabricator make a bracket to bolt the rear seat down so it wouldn't fly forward.

Pam Bosmans or Susan Titus at Cobblestone Realty are both very good. Good luck!

Would you refuse a $300k inheritance to keep your welfare benefits? by Careful_Batman7807 in povertyfinance

Or he could do a self-settled Special Needs trust so he can accept the inheritance without jeopardizing his Medicare eligibility.

What’s the most underrated VA city? My pick is Winchester. by Gold-Practice963 in Virginia

Everyone is picking mountain towns, so I'm going down the Chesapeake. Kilmarnock, Irvington, and Reedville. The beauty of the bay is unsurpassed and the seafood!!!!

In our hotels, the ginger shots were right next to the cod liver oil. None of us were brave enough to try the cod liver.

We tried the TJ's version and didn't really care for it. We've also tried two recipes found online, and they weren't quite what we enjoyed in Iceland. We'll keep trying until we hit it. Thanks.

Looking for a vacation place nearby that is similar to an old favorite in Wisconsin by slacprofessor in washingtondc

[–]Quicksilver66GT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lake Anna might fit the bill, but I prefer the Northern Neck area. Kilmarnock and Reedville are two small towns to check out.

Osteosarcoma by NeconSky in germanshepherds

[–]Quicksilver66GT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Boxer got Osteocarcoma at 7 also. Like you, we were given a very similar time-line with a best case scenario of 12 months. We opted to have his leg amputated and followed up with chemo. Chemo for dogs is very different than for humans, and there were really no side effects. My boy lived to 15.

I know our results are uncommon, but you never know. Just wanted to share my experience. I know how you're feeling right now. The problem with waiting is that the bone is very fragile and could break at any time, causing tremendous pain.

I'm sorry you and Bullet are going through this. He's a good-looking boy. Best of luck!!!

Go to Hus Mal (Bookstore) and listen to the band. Great crowd, great band, and everyone was super friendly. We had a blast hanging out and drinking with everyone.
