  1. OP (looking at alternatives) mentioned Lexus. 4Runner (Trail) 9.6" of ground clearance 33-degree approach angle 26-degree departure angle 37.4-ft turning circle 270 hp @ 5600 rpm; 278 lb.-ft. @ 4400 5-speed automatic transmission (3.520; 2.040; 1.400; 1.000; 0.720) Reverse Ratio - 3.220 33.7:1 crawl ratio Track Width, Front - 63.2 Track Width, Rear - 63.2 Grand Cherokee (with QuadraLift air suspension) 10.6" of ground clearance 34.3-degree approach angle 23.1-degree breakover angle 29.3-degree departure angle 18.5-ft turning circle 360 hp @ 5,150 rpm; 390 lb.-ft. @ 4250 8-speed automatic transmission (4.69:1; 3.13:1; 2.10:1; 1.67:1; 1.28:1; 1.00:1; 0.84:1; 0.67:1) Reverse ratio - 3.30:1 44.1:1 crawl ratio Track Width, Front - 63.7 Track Width, Rear - 64.3 Now if I were solo or with a small group out there getting lost, I'd feel more confident in the 4Runner simply for its simplicity, ability to take on some really useful modifications, and its body-on-frame construction where the GC is a unibody platform.
  2. The 4Runner is absolutely not better off-road until modifications begin and it's complete dogshit on-road. We've also been over this but it's absurd to pay $42K for a powertrain and vehicle technology that was wasn't even considered 'new' to the brand more than a decade ago. Also, Lexus WTF, unless you're into AARP-things, a realtor or pharma rep. The prior-gen V8 GX is cool when lifted/modded to follow the Land Cruiser theme.
  3. Are you getting a deal on it? I'm thinking '21 is the last model year for the WK2, very very long in the tooth (from a chassis/architecture POV). I admire the little updates added to them year over year. The Harmon UConnect system is still among the best in its class for infotainment, the Summit has acoustic glass windshield and side windows, the 5.7 HEMI is finally refined and reliable, and you'll likely not be able to get another GC with a V8 again. I still want one, never bothered shopping hard enough for it. Don't need a pickup, it would do almost all the things I need it for. Make mine a Summit in Granite Crystal with that quilted Laguna leather.
  4. I'm fairly certain that was my first reply in CR, and was painted in perception of the conservative view, though we do need to reduce the cost of care before MFA can make any traction. And yes, we're already paying for someone else's "free" care.
  5. Paying for someone else's Free Shit® in exchange for declining quality of care, I'd imagine. The system is already broken. You have to shatter the racket the drug makers, oncology labs, mega-hospitals and insurance companies who drove our cost of healthcare at a level 145% higher than the OECD median. Healthcare spending now accounts for 18% of our GDP. Good luck busting that up, but I want to hear more about that, not just who's footing the bill.
  6. PuttShack isn't tied to TG at all aside from the Joliffe's who started the TG concept. I'm a former TG leader from the good 'ole days (2012-2017) before Dolf came in. That feeling/culture/story wasn't bound to last forever and I put a lot of skins on the wall to develop the brand that never paid off for me. Covid did a number on TG's valuation, good on Callaway for picking up the rest of business. It's far short of the $4B IPO that was once speculated and the squeeze (in this segment) will persist.
  7. From the Instagram posts I've read, producers already had an agenda of cutting Clare's season short, just that Dale hastened things a bit.
  8. Jerrah isn't sending Fat Mike packing in a matter of months. He gets a mulligan over Covid, starter injuries, and possibly a blame-game carousel over retained assistants. It took far too long to send Garett packing.
  9. Tag me in as well for the Audi gangbang, taking G650 to gapplebees.
  10. Yeet them into the sun, followed by the scholarships of the band members stirring this up and sitting out of the game. The football team found unity this week, maybe the rest can pick up a book and learn about The Eyes, rather than some SJW's 'hot take' to cancel tradition.
  11. A 500HP, 4.0T V8 (same Porsche engine derivative in the Panamera, RS6/7, SQ8, Urus, Bentley) Audi SQ7 solves nearly all the conflict here. Bonus: It's actually attractive-looking.
  12. The olds drive Lexuses these days, profiling their poky, inattentive driving habits is a given. Beige Camrys and silver Accords too. Gross.
  13. The Statesman provides ZERO press value to the University. Texas Monthly offers a better, equally dishonest, digital presence over the Statesman, and even they don't publish Curt Bowels shitposts. Revoke their access until a more responsible staff are employed.
  14. LOL we won't be ranked. Baylor lost in Morgantown so there's zero "transitive win" property to gain here.
  15. Is that a BMW jumper he's wearing, exiting from a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon?
  16. In jest, but if we're countering the idea of Meyer on campus, has enough smoke cleared from the NCAA and MSU that Mark Dantonio wants to get back out there again? I don't see CDC offering the next candidate to anyone who doesn't already have significant head coaching experience.
  17. But how much of that is rooted in athletics (that CDC needs to be working on) vs. institutional and Zoomer culture bullshit? I fear it's the latter but there are a few hard-nosed, old school coaches who have programs ticking fast enough to navigate the softness.
  18. I'm stunned, I'm pissed, it's... Gus Malzahn... In 2021, after Auburn cans him. The Auburn coaching career stop remains active. SEC SEC and all. But that pipeline to Westlake/Blinn will work everything out.
  19. I remember seeing that on her IG, at a time when she was still in Dallas with Jordan. Now they're in Costa Rica renovating a property for a year or something.
  20. "I'm stunned, I'm pissed, it's... ...Mark Farley."
  21. I only like the idea to see the shit-eating grin on his face as he goes for two on each scoring possession to drive up the 3rd quarter on a 77-13 type game against OU while Lincoln blows a gasket on the other side of the field. That image is in my head, anyhow, after watching him roll the dice against Saban. Kiffin is the kind of guy who would probably get his rocks off doing that to Gary Patterson more than Riley though. Recruiting could be lit too, but our guy needs to be just a bit more greasy than the average SEC contingent. Maybe he could bring in Petrino as a recruiting coordinator.
  22. YMMV, intake runner/head design, PCV/oil separator and driving style have a lot to do with it as well. Some engines exhibit carbon buildup more frequently than others, with symptoms ranging from rough idle to poor throttle response. Turbocharged cars probably mask those slightly and most engines don't exhibit anything actionable until 60K miles of driving. I've read of a few early-developed DI engines that require it and carbon cleaning/walnut blasting seems to be more accepted among performance platforms. The 5.2 Audi/Lambo V10 in the S6 and R8 was one example, same with the Audi 4.2 V8 in the RS4/RS5 and 3-liter N54 turbo BMW.
  23. Contention/Power struggles among the Cigars and having to deal with the loudest ones Trust - how do you facilitate a near whole-staff change with Tom and look even more aimless than before? Baby-shit-soft culture within athletics as a whole, from the students to the coaches
  24. Our drought certainly shouldn't last as long as theirs.
  25. All of that and the theme for officiating in this conference is to protect/produce offense. Tom should know that hard lesson by now, ESPECIALLY with OU on the field.
