Heh... my last big truck was 10 years ago... 18" lift and 44" swampers... keep wanting to stuff another one up there... but getting my f@t a$$ up into it would be tough without an elevator anymore... Since the arthritis hit me I gotta stay a bit closer to the ground... 8" and 36" Coopers these days...
BUT, by the grace of YHWH, my bones are getting better- I will be building a shop next fall, and it could very well be that the first project in the door will be that ol pickup. Got a nice 700hp porker sitting in the shed and all the kit except the tires sitting there waiting for the day...
OLD... yeah... I get that.
Good on ya brother.
My last bike was YZ 400 bored to 425.
1/4 turn throttle, 5 gal desert tank.
Gosh I loved that bike! It would wheelie in 4th.
“If $150k isn’t considered a decent household income in your neighborhood “

First, the article refers to the minority who buy instead of lease the vehicles.
Second, household income doesn’t necessarily correlate to wealth. You’ll find plenty of McMansions mortgaged to the hilt, the “owners” (debtors) can’t afford to put furniture in the houses, and they can’t sell because the debt on the house exceeds current market value.
It’s a facade where no matter how much is earned, more is spent each year keeping up a public appearance. Leased vehicles, financed furniture, and vacations paid with credit cards based on expectations of future earnings.
LMAO .... Yep !
Merry Christmas.
