Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I went to Moab 4th of July. Won’t make that mistake again (I probably will)

 

Nah. I have a big enough cooler.

Are you heading out there? Or just checked out of curiosity?

 

Always end up golfing in Dayton, Nevada on the 4th . We drive to Nevada the week of July 4th. Spend 5 days in Reno/Carson City/Dayton. My father-in-law and his neighbor were always ready to go golfing when I showed up. It was 112° and he’s like… “let’s walk it today.” Ha! Me? It’s 11:45am! Walk 36 holes? I got a cart and the beer cart was following/waiting every 3rd tee box.

FYI… Dry heat is still hot and a majority of clubhouses in Nevada have beer and A/C.

 

friday 94F, real feel 103F... we are outside and trying to get the old people who might die to be swapped with indoor jobs friday

 

Dry heat or not, over 90 degrees is still awful.

 

I was outside all day last Saturday and eventually just got acclimated. It was 91 and pretty humid. This weather does suck if you're working hard, though.

 

I was in a building that's AC doesn't work.. that isn't insulated ... dry heat is better than humid though

 

Got a 6 day work week for us. The next three are gona be 90ish, + heat index. Sun..... Woohoo

 

Try spending a few months in the "desert" 108 degrees with humidity and working 12+ hour days

 

The 2 kids were stationed in Dubai. I’m glad I wasn’t!

lol

 

In case anyone is curious about what a time capsule of an FZJ80 Land Cruiser goes for, here's an idea - should be fun to watch: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-toyota-land-cruiser-fj80-24/

As a friendly reminder, gas up before hitting Illinois!!!!!!

Just want to let you guys know, at the dealership I work at, we just took in a 2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition with 14,500 miles on it. It is absolutely stunning. It's going through our service department right now to get inspected. I don't know if anyone was interested in them its midnight black.

 

Like this, but black. Supah nice.

 

Yeah its beautiful, I am super tempted to trade my Tacoma in for it... but I just bought a home so it's not a good financial decision right now

 

They're also ah.... Pricey

 

yeah... just a tad...

 

There might be a little price discrepancy there
