    Teslas. Not only are they terrible drivers but they can't park. Street parking they park as close as humanly possible to your bumper, it's like they rely so much on the car to do things for them they forget what it is they are actually doing.

    @Tour991 this year's pre-season has been cursed. Doughty out for at least 3 months last I heard with that fractured ankle. That knee injury on Laine looked absolutely brutal, possibly career ending. Imagine having your star player's career ended in pre-season ffs. They had just traded for him over summer too

    I was listening to the All the Kings Men podcast the other day and they were saying the Kings training camp has been the most physical camp in decades. I wonder if that's true around the League.
    The knee on knee to Laine looked intentional to.

    Some of you may lambast me for this, but I’m about to pull the trigger on that 100 series. Everything checked out - no overheating on the scan gauge in the highway, I couldn’t see any leaks underneath from the rack, VCGs, etc, and he had done most of the common maintenance items, including metal heater Ts, new OEM CVs, and more (see below).

    The only issues are mismatched tires due to their daughter having a blow out recently, and a very sticky transfer case lever (I did eventually get 4lo and the rear locker too work).

    The frame also had some spots of very minor surface rust, but I couldn’t tell how much of it was actually dirt.

    4 run, 2 don't
    No one can

    He never has and will never listen to those genuinely trying to help him

    It's alright though, he knows everything, cause he read about it somewhere

    I'm sure that 290k mile 26 year old toyota will be so much more reliable, problem free and cheap to maintain than your 250k mile 27 year old toyota

    On the bright side the new one needs tires right away... so that'll be cheap I'm sure, you know he's rolling in cash.

    I had some linglong lion sport MTs for a while, only because they came on a set of wheels I wanted.

    They held air..

    But were extremely loud and wouldn't balance so they shook the whole truck apart at 70mph

    They should be good for a while, the brands are just mismatched in the front and back, but the tread is okay on them.

    AWD and mismatch is always bad... it's like the #1 no-no for AWD vehicles. Not all tire manufacturers measure out the same and they certainly don't wear the same.
