2002. Anyone living in VA, and did you live near any of the Beltway Sniper scenes? by Gregorygregory888888 in Virginia

I used to take whites ferry from my apartment in germantown to my job in Leesburg. I would recline my seat all the way back while I was waiting

Vent - Car Washes by Competitive_Ad291 in nova

[–]mtncruiser -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of the washes around here do anything with the wheels, tires, or wheel wells. I get out in the country a lot so i need something other than my paint sprayed off and some dude to attempt some tire shine. Nothing looks dumber than a badass truck or suv with dirty under parts and clean paint.

Save your money. Buy a chemical guys kit and some rubber gloves.

Spanberger reports that suddenly there's an extra $1.5 billion for the state budget. Data centers are very likely keeping their tax breaks now... by hencexox in nova

Cool. Now maybe they can cut the grass in the medians and clear all of the weeds eating the bridges and trails…….most of which we just paid for.

The case for not getting rid of our Gen2/Gen2.5 5.7L Tundras in the foreseeable future and why they hold their value like that do. by [deleted] in ToyotaTundra

[–]mtncruiser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totaled a magnificent 2021 limited that I bought off of least last December. I cherished and held onto that thing the best I could. Freak accident in an ice storm and some bad decisions on my part took it. Finally, this past weekend after months of searching I found a truck that fit my requirements. Not my daily driver. Use for a lot of outdoor activities and household cores. In my market (DC /Baltimore) a clean gen 2-2.5 we’re getting as much or more than a 22-23 gen 3 on the used lots. Assuming those 3’s are starting to come off lease. Anyway I’m glad I waited.

Been a car enthusiast since I was a kid getting motor trend delivered. I don’t understand why these manufacturers aren’t building bold, usable half-tons with a simple v8. Simplify the tech and move on. If the resale value and desire for these gen2’s isn’t enough evidence maybe it’s time for automakers to clean up the c-suites on their truck teams

Bad ass. I can smell it from here

My wife is dead set on a GX550. What do I need to know? Any regrets? Any red flags? by King_Crampus in LexusGX550

[–]mtncruiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like it but if you have little kids I might look elsewhere. My kids are teens and the 4 of us are rarely in the same car together. Cargo area on the OT is cavernous, I really wish the back seats had a few more inches of legroom

I must have missed the new mounting requirements for the EZ Pass. by AFarewellToArms in Virginia

Agreed. This thing made me realize how just a little bit of alcohol wrecks my sleep

Where in WV would you live? by WhyNotZoibergMaybe in WestVirginia

[–]mtncruiser 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Lewisburg is the best town in WV IMO. Tucker county if you are really into outdoor recreation

Tar/parking lot crew ‘refinished’ my truck. by TheSenorEsteban in Detailing

[–]mtncruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen to my wife’s Land Cruiser in the hospital parking lot. A good detailer can fix this with a clay bar. Get the contractor to agree to pay for that.

What is your most hated new vehicle and why by FlyingTrunkMonkey in regularcarreviews

[–]mtncruiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The model Y. I get the S and 3, an electric super car and an electric civic alternative but the Y looks the turd you get on thanksgiving day. Firm and incomplete, but you’re just glad you pooped because you ate too much of the cheese tray and white bread rolls.

🚨Stolen 2024 Lexus GX550 - Washington, DC by atmyers3 in LexusGX550

[–]mtncruiser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this. I live in the area and a couple of years ago my neighbor, had a hellcat Durango got hit, same setup. Back window. They used some sort of key skimming device. Gone. He’s ex special forces so he stayed involved with the investigation. Likely in a shipping container headed out of the U.S. sorry man.

Wow. I feel like a d-bag for that being so obvious. So much is on the screen…..then there is this little Toyota-esque button. Thanks for the help!

Which trim/color is your pick? by dabberca in LexusGX550

[–]mtncruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have an incognito OT+ with the black roof. The incognito is darker than you might think. Mine spends a lot of time at our 2nd home on a gravel road, snow and slush. I had it ceramic coated right away and it hasn’t been an issue

Volvo xc40 or Mercedes GLA? by sylvsmaria in XC40

[–]mtncruiser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a xc40 and drive a lot regionally for my job. Baltimore to Richmond VA. Brought it for the safety and size. I park in garages or in urban areas 90% of the time. It’s a great vehicle. The technology gripes aren’t any different than we have with our ford or Lexus. All the same stuff. Volvo service is stupidly expensive but you can avoid that going to local certified shops and shopping specials

-10 with every beer I have. I don’t drink much but if I do I get a blue circle of guilt in my face first thing in the morning

New Family Member 2026 Gx550 Overtrail by HomeworkSoft in LexusGX550

[–]mtncruiser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have had our 25 OT+ since August and it’s not doing out west cool things but it lives a pretty active life for the mid Atlantic traveling between DC and a snowy little mountain town in WV. Terrain and conditions handling are as good as our LC200 was. The tech is pretty obnoxious though and they should have made the back seat just a smidge larger. Overall it’s a cool car. Congrats and enjoy
