Colorado B.S. Thread

Yeah it was mostly that. Heard a few strays hit the roof and saw these laying around outside. Neighbor kids were running around outside with bike helmets on after it settled down

 

Haha i can see it now! Hail helmets at stores!

 

We hear it in Arvada, but no clouds above us

 

Both the car and truck got hit pretty hard. Apricot sized hail here.

Have to assess the damage in the morning.

 

That was hard to watch

 

You people and your hail. Well, I think the Tacoma is finally leaving me tomorrow. 4Runner could be leaving me at the end of the week. I am looking forward to starting a new build once we find a place to live. Most likely going to be a GX470. While the 4Runner was nice, the lack of headroom was a real let down and I always kept looking at gx470's on the road and Thinking I should have bought one of those.

 

I'm out east close to DIA. This cell died out...but the three supercells behind me in this picture did not. Every indicator of a tornado (or tornadoes) out here with the exception of the actual tornado. It's eerily quiet and pitch-black outside. Ready to go underground in a hurry.

 

Sold the big bike today.
Happy and bummed at the same time.

 

When was the last time you rode it?

Edit: what factor55 goodies you buying with the proceeds?

 

Did your runner have the all time 4wd thing going on? How'd you like it? That was my biggest hangup with the gx...until it became the cool thing to do, which i clearly go against.

 

Its been over a year. A nice couple from Denver is picking it tomorrow. They didnt try to lowball me and seemed to really like the bike. They sold their bike when they had their daughter, and now that shes grown up, they are getting back into riding. So it's going to a good home.

 

yeah, full time 4wd. Didn't mind it I suppose. Would be nice for the wife driving in the winter time so she wouldnt have to think about putting it in 4wd. I like the 4wd on the Sequoia better because it is 2wd then you can put it in 4wd without the center locked and then there is a button to lock the center diff. All I know is I cant wait to get a GX470! I liked them way before they were the expo vehicle to have.

 

Well fuck, hail rolled through here (Westminster) pretty good. New truck is sporting some dents, but the real damage is to our truck camper. All plastic shrouded items on the roof now look like Swiss cheese. Vents imploded and we took a little bit of water into the interior. Definitely not what I need 10 days out from selling our house and heading out on the road. Now I have to try and figure out a way to recover...

 

A little window frame damage, basement window and cover cracked, gutter beat to hell, patio table tore up, probably roof damage, but truck was in the garage. Thank God I bought a Tacoma again instead of a Tundra. Brighton and north got smashed up. A friend in Frederick had tennis ball size hail.

 

Dang!

Well happy i did not have the tennis ball size hail in dacono im like couple miles away.

 

My wife is trying to get a screenshot of it off of Instagram. I'll get it on here tomorrow.

 

For all those people looking to move to Colorado, here's a welcome mat for them. Spread the word. Snow and ice storms all year round

 

Wish I had one for the Fountain Attack.

Baseball sized hail.

Could you imagine if that hit in the middle of the day when people were out and about? Holy Sh*t Colorado! C'mon. Can we just go back to the daily afternoon rain showers and serious winter snow-storms? Let's go ahead and take this back to the 90's please.

 

Can I add less traffic too!



I-70 was a parking lot sun afternoon going east bound from half way up to Eisenhower tunnel till Idaho springs it was stop in go. As much as I hate paying for tolls it was worth it not having to use my brakes every 50 yards.
