    You can get a GR86 new in the low 30's.

    Koenigsegg, maybe? I never heard of them until a few years ago. They make some absolutely ridiculous vehicles.

    I'm waiting for truck that comes with a built in coffee maker. Also a bacon fryer would be nice also.

    Just some wishful thinking.

    There's even a holder for a handheld radio.

    Had an appointment with PT (Physical Torturist) this morning. She stuck a couple of long needles into my back and hooked me to an electric fencer. That was fun! We'll see what that does...

    They do! The other one that I might have been thinking of is Pagani. Now those are absolutely over the top insane with interior design! But doing a little image search shows both of those have some sort of LCD display. Although the Pagani LCD screen already looks like it’s retro on purpose. It has that “Fallout” future-retro vibe. A lot of them are so over the top, but I can respect the work that goes into them. Everything inside is machined.

    Been seeing a PT for my knee for a couple of months. It’s definitely helping, but man alive does it make everything else hurt. It’s like they know Judo. They can make you crumble to the ground on command by telling you to change the position of this or that by half a degree!

    Anyway, @Taco-Grinder mentioned getting old and it made me think of the Top Gear episode where they created “useful” mobility scooters. First time I saw it I thought it was funny. Now I wonder if I should be taking notes. :rolleyes:

    I'm taking notes of what appears to be a Pagani ball cooler.

    And then they ask: Did that hurt? No, I always practically jump out of my skin for the hell of it!

    Especially now that Yotawerx has tunes for them

    You need to watch more Top Gear :boink:

    That piece of shit can kiss my ass. Fuck Toyota USA for what they're doing in the Tundra engine factory.

    Machining debris on the main journal's started this mess (cost cutting at the factory, what are they, GM?)

    Now it's spun rod bearings on cylinders 3/4/5. On the 23/24s.....

    If you're doing streaming from CarPlay or Android Auto in most vehicles from more than a couple years ago you have to plug in a USB cable anyway, so it's also charging faster than it would be on the wireless charging pad. Unless, of course, you have an aftermarket wireless adapter for streaming. I can't speak to newer wireless Bluetooth streaming and battery charging/depletion on a wireless charger.

    They’ve done a good job of having issues but they are still selling super well. 24 was like the second best year of tundra sales ever

    It's ridiculous how well they're selling, and the performance and experience is excellent.

    But the cost cutting at the factory is tarnishing the reliability, and some of the maintenance procedures are very Ford esque.
