    I was just on a trip for a funeral and a cousin of mine wore fucking sunglasses on the back of his head throughout the whole service.
    Other aesthetic violations were present but fuck, that was ridiculous.

    If it works it works and if you don't care about resale then I don't think it's a bad place to put your money for a "smaller" pickup these days. Unless you care about aftermarket bolt-ons.
    I dunno, the whole small pickup market is goofy at this point anyway. I still think I'd buy a Ranger, but I hate to think about having to choose.

    I'd try one, I'm not a very big fan of the ranger as it sits, atleast not for what I do. Doesn't feel great

    What about bumping up to a Tundra? You could probably snag a decent late 2nd gen for that money.

    That too right? Everyone loved some transparent, shadowed 3d visuals then.
    I'm not necessarily mad at it, skinning OS X way back was really fun for a while before they locked it down, but why pretend its new.
    Now everyone's out of tricks.

    Same thing Jobs said on a tour of Xerox when he used their graphical user interface before he stuffed a prototype mouse into his jacket pocket

    @Kwikvette did you see that chode that owns Proven Locks tried to contact McNally's wife? He's also policing/deleting the comments on all of his IG stuff. Dude's weaker than his shitass locks.

    I think PARC gave them access for that visit in exchange for pre-ipo investment too.
    Gates had a great quote in regards, basically, to both of them stealing

    "Well, Steve, I think there's more than one way of looking at it. I think it's more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xerox, and I broke into his house to steal the TV set, and found out that you had already stolen it."
