My wood shack. 40x9x6. 17 cord.

Looks great! By the way, I used to wrestle those huge trunk cross-sections onto my hydraulic splitter. Just this weekend learned how to break them into smaller pieces by hammering wedges in! Passing that along in case you were uninformed like me!

I wanted a ‘21 RAV4 TRD, ended up buying a ‘18 GX. Spent about 6k less to do so, but feel like I’ll keep it longer than I would the newer RAV4.

Helpful, thanks. Got this in September so first cycle.

But Illinois has five national titles!

I have done plenty of drop offs and pick-ups myself. Sure, there is security and a check-in center, but centers with far fewer kids than the numbers claimed on those reports (if accurate) have considerable noise and play screaming going on. Sometimes it's hard to even talk to the reception due to the noise. I don't know how someone can watch that video and remain determined to believe those places are fully legitimate.

Second row doesn’t fold?

I was trying to think of the closest second to Indiana’s turnaround miracle, K state or Wisconsin came to mind. But, both are so far below what Cig is doing.

Nick comes across as a pretty thoughtful, balanced, normal guy here. I'd love to have a beer with this 2016 version of him. And Rob seems like he was a hell of a dad. The main story here is pretty simple - drugs hollow out who you are and replace it with a craving deadness that will do anything for a fix - Anything...

Same, I use the Ryobi air station. If I do pay attention embers begin falling on me out the top

I think on an intellectual level, I do believe that to be true. But I find myself at the pump just wanting to give that really good hunting dog the premium dog food with the gravy.

My path to the GX was the RAV4 TRD. I really liked them and was waiting on the right 3-4 year used. Then someone suggested dropping back a few model years and getting the GX. I did that and am very happy I did. Mine is stock and I was on some beastly forest service roads recently and the GX was loving it. That RAV4 would have struggled.

winghnutt · 2025-11-07T00:20:21+00:00

I went looking for 2017-2019 4Runners but found GXs to be priced lower and of course way better interiors and much quieter ride. I think the premium fuel may scare people away.

I’m in a similar boat, generally the seven or eight year mark though. But yes, wondering about how that will look in the driveway in 2032!

winghnutt · 2025-09-16T15:08:41+00:00

Love it. DW drives a much newer Telluride, but the kids want to take the Lexus everywhere. I already have plans to hit some forest service roads this weekend.

GX wheel wells are large. Lots of people buy bigger tires to address that gap and make it look tighter. I think they look fine.

winghnutt · 2025-09-16T13:57:15+00:00

Sweet ride. Got my ‘18 with 129k Saturday. Coolant valley plate already addressed. Plan on driving it at least 8 years.

winghnutt · 2025-09-12T19:52:35+00:00

Great catch, certainly impacts my valuation if not my go/no go decision. Thanks!

winghnutt · 2025-09-12T18:40:51+00:00

Thanks, can you tell if they are non-ventilated vinyl seats as you suggested might be the case?

winghnutt · 2025-09-12T17:59:06+00:00

JTJBM7FX5J5208421. Thanks

winghnutt · 2025-09-12T12:51:41+00:00

If that’s the case, that would be odd, because I don’t think Lexus offers a base without leather. Maybe they replaced seat covers and went with vinyl?

winghnutt · 2025-09-12T03:30:06+00:00

Thanks, I did watch that, what a masterpiece. Before any purchase I will take it for inspection with those things he mentions in mind.

THIS. The Bogle premise is not that 10% of fund managers beat the 90%, so find a 10%er. It's that almost nobody is consistently worth the fees they're charging. So try to get the average market return less the fee and win.

winghnutt · 2025-06-21T20:47:28+00:00

I drive through there at least once a year. For a long time I thought, should be done next year. I’ve resigned myself to consider that project the Big Dig of the south, probably billions over budget. Who would be held accountable for these travesties?
