Northern Virginia Roll Call

Loudoun government schools' enrollment in 2019-20 was 84,175 . With an operating budget of $1.28B
Enrollment for the 2023-24 school year is 81,992. A drop every single year, despite the county growing. And now they've submitted a proposed budget for 2024-25 of $1.8B.

I can't offer anything witty. But I can say that this is completely unsustainable.

 

Not in Loudoun. They'll just find something else to tax.

 

My RE taxes went up 14% last year.
We build $100 million dollar recreational facilities every year. A park.... hundred million. A pool... hundred million. A rec center... hundred million.
One high school "needs" to be knocked down and rebuilt... $250 million.

I'm loosing my fucking mind.

 

One reason we bought outside of Loudon. And one more reason we're leaving the state when I retire.

 

This guy (aka: idiot) is lucky to be alive.

I really want a 70 series.

 

What the hell is up with my oil catch can?!

 

It froze. Welcome to catch can life.

If I didn't point the hood of my VW into the sun in the morning it would smoke like crazy because the lines got slushy.

 

I guess i also need to do some longer drives

 

Dare to dream Tiny, one game away from the Super Bowl.

 

I sitting here somewhere between shock and daring to dream.

GO LIONS!!!!

 

no rubbing with the offset on my wheels. I just did a cmc and smashed the pinch weld. Only rubbing I was getting was on the plastic liner. I ended up cutting most of that out. I cut the fenders as well,but that was more of cosmetic thing.
tire is almost stuffed in in this pic,plenty of clearance

I may get those when the 33” pizza cutters on my Tacoma need replacing. They looked pretty grippy on the trails.

 

Remember 17" only

 

I have those kenda levers as well and I didn’t even need to chop my body mount with +15 offset wheels keeping the scrub low

 

Went to the auto show today, new Taco looks way better in person IMO…



Also took some glamour shots of the LC250 and GX550. Both looked fantastic!

 

I think Im going this weekend. Wish i could sit in the Lexus and LC. Did you see the cyber truck? Also, 50k plus for an OR? Pass, ill get the base and build it how I want for $36k

 

You can sit in the Lexus. I did and it was amazing...really hope the LC is somewhere near that level of detail and comfort. Otherwise, I might have to spring for the Overtrail.

Yeah, the 4th Gen Taco prices are borderline criminal. I understand it's upgraded in several facets, but my current 3rd Gen is basically +$10K for the same kit in 4th Gen form.

I did see the Cybertruck, and they will let you sit in that too. Definitely one of those vehicles you either love or hate...

 

If only, this was for sale.

 

Right year, but that bed is probably complete toast under that drop in.
