60+ year old thread.

So sorry for the losses of family members and friends Harry. Yes it is life, but it is still hard to go through. Prayers for all.

 

Thank you.

 

Good morning kids

Another fine Saturday.
In the garage today, tinkering with my truck and the wife's SUV.....

Have a golden gram day!

Morning Cool Old Dudes and Life Mentors

Kristi got her Hybrid Highlander last night. She's very happy with it and I'm impressed with the hybrid technology.


Not the best weather and time for a pic.

Harry
Don't hesitate or apologize for venting here, I think that's one of the reasons most come here, to be able to vent those frustrations of life to a group of understanding folk.
Stay strong Sir, and vent those emotions when you need to.

 

Congrats on Kristi's new car Rob. Best of luck with it. Did she let you drive it yet?

 

Nope.

 

Smart girl you have there Rob...

 

Funny though ... she drove my truck a few weeks ago, hadn't touched a manual trans in at least 3 years, but she didn't have a single issue. When we got married she had never driven a MT, took her a bit to get used to it back then.

 

I tell you Rob, I taught Deb to drive the MT in my 66 Mustang back in '68 and she hadn't driven one until she got an '87 Chevy Berreta. After 5 years with that she has had all auto trans. But on occasion she has driven ny Tacoma and has no issues. She say it's like riding a bicycle... you never forget. I think it says a lot about the wives.

 

Hate to break it to you.
People do forget how to ride a bike.

 

Keepers.

 

ok

 

If the wife says she never forgets, I don't think I'll question her on that one Mike. I like my way of life...

 

Spent the day with my son. He did six lawn aerations. Guess what HD does not give a Veterans Discount on tool rentals.

 

GIF or it didn't happen!

 

Same here, no photos .... it happens.

 

Well folks, I like the chrome on my truck... mid 60s new Tacoma owner here.

 

I guess many of the young owners don't care for all the shiny chrome. I like it.
Duane

 

I guess for those of us who grew up in an era when most cars were chrome laden behemoths the relatively small amount on the Tacoma is no big deal. I'll continue to prefer shiny alloy wheels over black ones that's for sure.
