re: Toyota issues recall, stop sale on 100,000 Tundra pickup trucks due to engine failures
Posted by goofball on 5/31/24 at 11:29 am
[quote]Toyota is certainly having some issues with the Tundra. Boeing is indeed lost.

Tundra, Lexus LX, Lexus LS, Sequioa....they are all having major issues and they were largely dismissed or buried for several years until it got too big to ignore (Boeing style). I can understand that...

2024 models are failing too. They just aren’t recalling them. This is an open secret in the auto industry.
The new Tundra is garbage. ...

[quote]I like the Lyriq quite a bit as it isn't ugly AF. [/quote]
Yeah they look nice in person. I guess Cadillac figured out how to build them in a way that qualifies for those tax credits because I’ve been seeing so many of them lately.
I like the Celestiq but they are hand building those...
re: Hydrogen Powered Car NAMX should start to roll out in 2025
Posted by goofball on 5/29/24 at 12:10 pm
I’ll stick with gas or diesel powered vehicles from GM, Ford, and Toyota. Specifically from their mainstream/lower priced brands.
It’s too bad the new Mirai is hydrogen. Would make a good Avalon replacement if it had a gas/electric hybrid system. ...
WYDI? Yet another luxury crossover/wagon thingy edition
Posted by goofball on 5/29/24 at 12:07 pm
….because in 10 years every car on the road will be in this exact format since that’s all the automakers are developing other than very expensive pickups.
Anyways. This one has nice styling. It is $59k before the $7500 federal tax credit so it’s a not that much more than a similar gas powered...
re: So will people in St. George still have a Baton Rouge address?
Posted by goofball on 5/23/24 at 3:30 pm
They'll have St. George eventually. The Zip is what is usually driving this though.
So there will be a pretty long period of time where both cities will work just fine on stationary, letters, etc.

re: Smallish columnar trees
Posted by goofball on 5/23/24 at 1:18 pm
Eagleston Holly may work. Not perfect columns (more elongated pyramid) but they can fit in narrow spaces and have enough room to underplant. And it will be year round screening since it's a Holly.

To those of you that have a workshop/shed....what would you do differently?
Posted by goofball on 5/23/24 at 1:05 pm
Looking at building one for storage and for a small work station for minor repairs, woodworking, etc. behind our house in south Louisiana.
I was thinking of an 18' wide by 10' deep shed/workshop. That should give me enough space for storage, parking a subcompact tractor, and a small work statio...

Red Lobster is a terrible chain. It may have once been a decent regional restaurant 30-40 years ago (wouldn't know....that was way before my time), but after their massive expansion and several changes in ownership/management....they are pr...

That $142,800 is a drop in the bucket when you consider what we are spending to house them out of state.
There are a lot of restrictions on these facilities. $142,800 is very fair to make sure we get this right and can actually use it. And potentially exploit the excess capacity as a revenue...
re: When will Aldi come to Northeast Louisiana?
Posted by goofball on 5/17/24 at 11:20 am
It's a fine store and pretty clean/efficient from a discount retailer perspective. But it's not really something I'd say I missed. It's like those Amazon retailers or Wal Mart Neighborhood market in scope/size, but slightly cleaner and nicer.
I'm sure that Monroe, West Monroe, and Ruston are on...

It happens but it's not that common now where I am. Not familiar with Austin though. That market is far more dynamic than south Louisiana's metro areas. I am seeing a lot more short term rentals lately in places where there are some tourist attractions, a lot of festivals, or bougie shopping/re...
