The Lair

Literally the reason I did the center console blackout. It’s really good at blinding you! Same reason I want to get covers for the interior handles of the runner, they’re good at blinding you.

 

Went on a ride this morning, which was a blast.

 

Low key sneaking in a picture of the GQ model in the green tshirt in the back. You are slick Daniel

 

Thank you my good sir! Still feeling great too!

Happy Thanksgiving you filthy animals!

 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Score anything good on Black Friday?

 

Sitka rain gear for a serious discount

 

I resent the gross misuse of a classic Christmas-ish movie quote!

 

@EatSleepTacos you have a minivan, correct?

I got to drive one of those fancy Chrysler Pacifica’s. That thing was NICE. I resent the fact that I kind of actually want a minivan.

Where do I turn in my man card?

 

I used to have a neighbor with a Toyota Sienna minivan that was lifted with KO2s. Thing was sweet AF for weekend warrior bike trips.

 

There was one up on carsandbids a while back.

Easy to find, literally the only Sienna in the site history!

 

We have a 2023 Honda odyssey elite, which is the highest trim, and the thing is SWEET. I only drive the 4Runner when I have to, otherwise we take the minivan. It drives stupid smooth and the 10 speed transmission in it is absolute butter. We took it on its first road trip the other weekend (3 hours each way) and averaged 28 mpg and it was sailing along at 80 mph. I’ve also fit a whole sheet of plywood in the back, laying flat. Can’t beat the functionality of a minivan.

 

Long travel, 35s & toob dawrs in its future?

 

A big goose egg. Nothing at all. How about you Daniel?

 

Our family, at one point, had two toyota siennas. I was threatened to get the older one when I got my license, and at the time I hated that idea, but there are times when it would be super clutch to have a minivan. Would have fit all the boys for a chickfila run ez, can fit a whole sheet of plywood as mentioned, and sitting in the 3rd row with the middle seats out made it feel like we were in a helicopter as a kid

 

Minivans are severely underrated. I don't have kids and I'd entertain one but the wife refuses to go with it lol. I refuse to drive a ridgeline and a minivan is the only other contender to get that high of gas mileage along with storage capabilities.

 

Wife drives a '21 EX-L, thing is awesome for road trips and hauling stuff/kids around. It easily has more cargo space than my truck with the 3rd row folded down. Love the thing save for the looks of it.

 

I originally wanted a sienna because I think they actually look really good, plus awd and hybrid, but they were impossible to find near me and dealers were adding a $10k markup. Called a Honda dealer who sold this to me at msrp the very next day. The look has grown on me now, though. I don’t think it’s sexy but I don’t think it’s hideous either.

 

Just a few boxes of something to feed a pew pew of the 9mm variant...local ranch store had it as a doorbuster for $10 a box. Nothing too exciting...
