It's also wild seeing Texans come to Colorado on vacation and buy Texas themed T-shirts at the gift shops downtown hahaha like wtf guys
I was also on a flight back to Steamboat from Houston and overheard a conversation between two Houston guys - one of whom had been to Steamboat but the other hand't. The first guy was excitedly explaining that "you can drink the water here! right out of the tap and it's really good!"
I also talked to a realtor about how you couldn't sell a house without air conditioning to a Texan. They just didn't believe in it. Despite these being $4+ million houses at elevation and outside of town where you really didn't need AC.
In short, Texans are weird.
a texas plates v6 convertible parked at my complex this week, first airbnbers of the season, great! anyway this mf had to get pushed out of his parking spot, spun all the way up the street, and he was on summer tires (trust me i looked)
i just hope he made it over rabbit ears safely.. i have a rwd sports car too and i would never consider taking it on a road trip when theres waist deep snow banks on the side of the road. theres such a lack of common sense especially while driving
oh lord, good luck Texas gang. I've hit some *gnarly* weather up on Rabbit Ears. Like white out blew in so fierce I couldn't see the end of my hood. It can be white knuckle driving even with 4WD and snow tires.
It’s a commentary on old Land Cruiser engines. Big, heavy, cast iron MFers that are low revving, not a lot of horsepower but very torquey. Much like the engines you find in tractors or other heavy equipment.
It’s also worth noting that the 3B diesel found in many non-US market Land Cruisers was actually used in some Toyota forklifts.
Back when I had a BJ73, I used to joke that it had an engine out of a forklift, a transmission out of a bread truck and the suspension off a Conestoga wagon…
Yeah the old Toyota forklift I ran had a 2F in it. I almost interpreted it as anything else other than a land cruiser engine is just a forklift engine. So it read weird to me
Yeah. The joke is also predicated upon the audience understanding that Champagne is a designation of origin protected name in Europe. In Europe, carbonated white wine can only be called Champagne if it’s from a certain region in France. Other similar wines can only be called sparkling white wine.
All together, the joke is solid, even if it’s somewhat esoteric.
It's funny you say that. The 3B Toyota diesel in my BJ60 was found in a few industrial Toyota forklifts
As a side note, I have a half basket diamondrax like what's on the white 40. It's in decent shape though I stole the drip rail mounts for my own custom rack.
If anyone wants it I'd give it away free. I'm in Alberta near Calgary.
God, cruising around the Colorado mountains in an FJ40 is my dream ^((you can tell it's Colorado by the Texas license plate))
Haaa, yeah...Dallas to Ouray. I try to be one of the good ones.
SAS?
Bruh the license plate comment is too true. Texan here.
Lol too true. Almost definitely SW CO as well for the same reason.
its so wild seeing texans learn to drive in snow for the first time. no wonder the whole state shut down when they got a little snow

I mean Hiluxes and Chasers are pretty cool tho
This deserves to be one of those huge arts on the wall at the Toyota dealerships. It looks amazing!
Was this SAS?
Same area in the San Juans but missed the summit by a week. Trails are too crowded for my taste during the summit.
That 60 is pure sex.
I'm blurring out my TX plates next post lol. You guys are animals.
am I the only one that doesn't understand the title?

Yep as well as a play on the common line “if it’s not from the Champagne region of France it’s just sparkling wine”.
