I think that whatever we get this time won’t be kept long term. Most likely trade it in at 80-100K. I don’t have much confidence in any new vehicles going to high mileage like our current Toyotas without major or expensive repairs.

 

Have any of you watched Toyota World Runners on YouTube? They built an old Toyota RV and drove to the tip of South America. It was a great series. I just saw that the two of them, Matt and Stacy died in an off-roading accident a couple days ago. Very sad. RIP.

 

Yup. Sad shit. Was talking to @Brownmatthall about it earlier

 

A docking station would be fine if I didn't still use my desktop occasionally for browsing / music / storage as I have multiple redundant HDDs, unless I got an HDMI splitter. I'd also need to move my keyboard around between machines. For what I need it's fine, just annoying. I've never seen software randomly fail to work, fail to uninstall and then fail to reinstall. Younger me would have spent days chasing it, but for now it's whatever.

 

One bridge being built, who knows how long it will take in the end. Then the one we are using is being stressed. I wonder if that will need to be replaced sooner rather than later.

Thousands of overweight trucks tracked crossing over Washington Bridge https://turnto10.com/news/local/tho...washington-bridge-rhode-island-august-12-2025

 

It's okay the tow trucks are there. 6.8 mil bill so far.

But we need to cut 10 mil from RIPTA

 

Saw the news, gutted to hear it

 

I just heard about this when i watched Dirt lifestyle this morning......so unbelievably sad. He stated that it happened in a offroading accident. Does anyone know what exactly happened? They were such an amazing couple and awesome channel. Their Chinook build series is one of the best builds I have ever seen.

 

All I could find out about it is it was a rollover accident near Trout Lake British Columbia. He was pronounced dead at the scene when rescuers arrived and she died at the hospital after being airlifted out.
So sad, their were way too young but they lived more and saw more than most people will ever do.

 

From the article I read their truck fell off the side of a trail and came to rest 200m below. Sounded like she was ejected and found alive, passed away later at the hospital

 

My wife's 2014 had Continentals (I'll have to look at the exact style) when we bought it in 2019, liked them enough that she bought them again last year when it was time to replace them. They're about a 50K mile tire but that fits with her driving pattern and it gets used all year.

Reminds me of my 79 Stang I had in high school, a quart every 200 miles so not even a fillup. Mosquito killer!
