This is glorious. Wait until at least the water starts to flow

That was fantastic. I love how instead of backing straight out, they kept slamming it into the supports trying to turn around, even after the passenger gets out and looks. That last smash was impressive. That black water that came out of the fire lines is some of the foulest smelling liquid I've ever had the displeasure of smelling.

I saw this on Reddit and immediately thought of you.

While I understand that the Middle East purchases a vast majority of LCs... I hate the luxury SUV aesthetic that tends to go with the Middle East market trucks. The LC300 has way too much of that aesthetic.

Checked the clearance sign on my work garage when leaving yesterday. 7’ 6”, 90”. Home garage clearance is 96”. Orifice, er, garage opening is 8' tall, and the door swings above that height on its rails.

Full_Clip thinks that would be perfect for a mountain house.
A 300 series or LX equivalent would have little marginal benefit for me:

- faster, yes, but usually traffic is the limiting factor (and, if not, then speed limits and traction over the pass). I can continue to deal with the indignity of manually downshifting to 4th or 3rd.

- adaptive cruise control, which I sampled on the LX 570 I test drove from CarMax a year or two back. Nice but its worth to me << transaction cost as compared to a paid-off, slowly depreciating 100 series.

- slightly nicer interior trim, which is net neutral as I'd be that much more upset if/when it was befouled

- would tow better with the extra power, but that'll be a one weekend per year rental kind of deal thing at most given the Mountain House (and I could and probably should just rent an F-250 or -350 from Enterprise Truck Rental for that)





What it'll take to make me plunk down money on depreciating cars at this point:

A true minivan replacement that's PHEV or BEV, AWD, and of at least if not better interior volume/utility. VW ID Buzz in 2023-2024 or whenever it actually surfaces, M-B EQV if AWD and available. Model X is expensive, ugly, and less practical so is a non-starter.

re my Land Cruiser, I really don't see what'd displace it given my garage space situation, the suckiness of parking cars outside in Colorado weather (hail and clearing snow/ice alike), its low ongoing cost, and my need to have something that'll get me to the hospital come hell or high water, or more realistically high snow.

Take away the "cost" part and then maybe something like a Rivian R1S would work, but I've got better things to spend money on for my 6 mile-by-car commute, especially if we have an ID Buzz for my wife and would take that up to the mountains instead.

I guess the one situation where I could have an extra car in the driveway would be for a small, goofy, cheap third commuter car.

Kandi K27? 25 year import Subaru Sambar or Domingo for that forward-control visibility?

I think Full_clip needs one if they are ever sold here.

Who knows what I’ll be driving as my next vehicle.

The Italian PHEV minivan has occasionally been giving a "Put vehicle in Park to open sliding door" warning on the dashboard, while I'm driving with no one else in the car. (So no kids hitting the button.)

And now I swear that at least twice I've parked the van in the garage, opening one door intentionally to let car wash and/or rain moisture out into the open, and come back to it with the door closed.

Tonight I took a photo of the open sliding door to see who's crazy now.

This is what happens when you stray from the annual trade-up plan.

Maybe it has a time out feature where it closes after a certain amount of time.

I mean that’s kind of a nice feature so you don’t leave the door open forever.

Have you read the manual to confirm it doesn’t do it on purpose?

Or at least searched google? That's what I did to confirm the Subaru doesn't auto lock when the fob is removed. Who reads manuals?

Never did this before, and it coincides with us getting the odd message while driving that the vehicle must be in park to operate the sliding door. Door switch is spazzing somewhere along its messaging chain.
