I actually want one. Way cooler than the Caravan.

Not cooler than the dad wagon tho. Mines silver.

Holy TCM failure, Batman...

I drive one for work. The transmission is absolute garbage. If the warranty extension and numerous TSBs were any indication...

But it's that annoying thing where the transmission control module fails at ~75,000 miles that gets me...

Yeah the truck looking front and the tremendous amount of room for me in the driver seat (6'6) was hard to pass up. Hard to trade the Suburban in though.

Is that the twins b-day?


Good guess but I actually got in a pretty bad car accident that day that resulted in some major surgery and ultimately an early retirement that starts in 1 hour and 10 minutes. I get to stay home and take care of the clan now though so I'll deal with the physical issues from it instead of sending them to daycare.

Almost time for another pour while watching Big Break reruns from Barefoot. Miss that place.
 
R.I.P. HB.
Infected? Maybe some Brett? I'd reuse, but then again I'd do a long soak in PBW and then Star-San. Probably a day or two each out of paranoia.

I've always sanitized the crap out of stuff, but I may have something going on with my bottling buckets...and I have used them for fermentation. Could be a siphon hose. I have started soaking my bottles in the baking powder was stuff and the running them through the dishwasher. I think I just need to toss my buckets, spigots, and tubing. I'm fermenting in carboys now...1 glass, 1 plastic. Idon't know if I'll ever have the room or money for my dream brew set up and kegging...I just need to eliminate as many variables as I can and keep going!

Diet Coke, caffiene free.
 
Quick hit of Citrus wheat while dry hopping the ZD clone.

Thank goodness (and sorry about the ford). The nissan does come with a 5/100k bumper to bumper standard though. Fun to give the finance guy at the dealership that info when he showed us extended warranty prices.


I have the same warranty. I drive a sh** ton so I'll hit 100k real quick. I'll trade it by then.

Damn, didn't know about the accident. Good luck with retirement, I think we all look forward to it, but prefer it on our own terms. Good luck with the start of a new chapter of your life.
 
My '83 Olds Delta 88 came with a 100,000 mile go **** yourself warranty. The price was right... paid 200 bucks for the beast and I have 30,000 miles left on the warranty.

Still got nothing on my 98 4Runner tho.

I miss being able to drive ancient POS cars. I gotta get to work every day though.
 
If I had my way, would have dumped the company car and kept my 91 MR2. But it needed work, and we didn't have the space for 3 cars then, and now barely have the space for 2. I'm scratching at the walls trying to get out of this damned job. Since brewery job 1 is dragging feet majorly, looking for brewery work elsewhere.

My 'ancient' 4Runner will go 120k miles further than that Ford will ever go and the 83 will never have more miles than that Ford will end up with by the time a 16 year old 3rd owner is bombing around in it listening to dubstep and drinking powdered alcohol.

A couple POS vehicles:

That's why I miss it, I love dubstep,
