While on 58 today headed from Nick's to Costco Gas in Arvada I saw someone driving a Land Cruiser very much like mine save for color, a 2006 or 2007 100 series, to be specific. (One can tell this because of the factory LED tails unique to those two years.)
I could tell from his vehicular choice alone that the driver is a gentleman of fine character and taste

$29,207.32 in taxes withheld from this (bonus-enhanced) paycheck. A new record.
Please vote in a flat tax for my benefit sometime soon kthxbye
I hope that is just an RV rear ending a trailer.
I'm gonna tow mah tag axle RV, Cleetus…
Pulled over in Kansas with that rig. Funny that the tongue weight is crushing the Trailblazer even with the front axle of the RV centered beneath the trailer’s axles.
That all acceleration and braking forces were apparently via chains around the front axle on the RV is an idiotic concept to behold.
That level of stupidity is worthy of jail time. The havoc that could have caused if it broke loose is bigly.
I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke but it's a terrible joke especially now. This type of money is more than what the average person makes in a YEAR! Plus the fact that a lot of people are out of work because of Covid.$29,207.32 in taxes withheld from this (bonus-enhanced) paycheck. A new record.

Somebody's gotta take in the shorts, man...
Everyone on this board pays much higher effective tax rates than real estate tycoons and hedge fund billionaires. They also pay more in actual taxes than 6 time bankruptcy declaring wanna be real estate tycoons and fake billionaire president(s).
While your post about your tax bill may have come off as just a little, slightly, possibly, maybe, a bit out of touch, it doesn't mean that the system couldn't be better or reformed. I was going to say the tax system is broken, but that's not true. It's working exactly the way lobbyists and the people who pay them intended.
This is what we really need to be talking about.
Lots of people are talking about it.

I should ride a Harley

I wonder if it has an internally geared rear hub in there. Gorgeous homage in any case:

I assume that even though it's a bicycle it also leaks/burns oil at a rate of a quart a day?I should ride a Harley

E-bike! So potential for fluids to leak yes
This is the cutest little trailer I spotted today. Denver public works Chevy Colorado pulling it.
Got some beer. Quite tasty!
Bought my nearly 2 year old a "3 year on up" tiny 6V indoor car, as opposed to the big kids' 2 seater 12V Jeep parked out in the yard, because I thought she would like to feel included.
Way back in 2012 I nerded out about the Ram 2500 CNG, as that's what I do (and there's a certain amount of sense in my insane earlier ramblings).An alternate take on the idea above (Yukon + 3rd party EPA certified bi-fuel conversion) would be to go with one of the OEM options. Civic GX is out since I wouldn't want a CNG-only vehicle (get an EV at that point!).
That leaves the Sierra/Silverado HD and Ram 2500 as the factory options. The General Motors twins only come in extended cab versions, so they're out given need to cart around child car seats and the like. The Ram is ugly, huge, and incredibly long given that it's a long bed crew cab model (168.9" wheelbase! 259.4" length!), but at least that long bed would give a good place to store the CNG tanks safely away from the passenger compartment while maintaining decent utility.

Pricing is $12k more than an equivalent gas-only Ram, so about $55k all said and done for a nicely equipped SLT model.
Anyway, over last night and tonight I revisited this old idea in this twitter thread:
What I found:
1) The Ram 2500 CNG appears to have been discontinued in 2017.
2) It had really crap payload and towing numbers for a nominally 3/4 ton truck.
3) Landi Renzo could convert a 6.2 liter gas F-350 to bi-fuel CNG/gas, on the other hand, and maintain good capacity.
4) Alternatively, Alliance Autogas would convert a 7.3 liter gas F-350 to bi-fuel LPG (propane)/gas similarly.
Fueling up at a U-Haul would be a trip.
To be expected considering your age.My good news is nearly one order of magnitude *less* than yours.

Converting my 100 series down the road would be amazing.
Yep. Haley has an extra set of boots we got last year that fit now and her skis are good. I have a pair of Rosi 20.5 3-clamp that the girls can have next year if needed. They were damn near new when we picked them up and have Haley's full season from last year on them.
