That sure is a purdy pick up. Time to start saving for another cruiser

Two children in college and another one only a few years away so I am lucky to just have one Cruiser. Of course I could convince them that a college education is over-rated and withdraw their funding in which case I could afford another Cruiser. They have promised to put me in a
"high class" nursing home some day in exchange for helping them out so I guess it is a "win-win" situation.

buddy, kids NEVER put old people in "high class" nursing homes ...
they stick you in the corner and feed you with a sling shot.

so go buy another cruiser.

I am glad you are good at what you do because it is obvious that you will never be selected as a spokesman for the North American Nursing Home Association.

Not all kids want to neglect their parents

 

[crushers]

the older i get, the more is see kids neglecting their parents.
i watch as they stick them into plus 55 buildings and then cutting back more and more on the frivolous expenses. pretty sickening to watch.

as you get older you will see how the real world works.

(spoiled kids never grow out of it)

Oh I can see it with people all ages
Young generation especially
Kids think mom and dad is their bank

At least you can't say this thread does not cover a multitude of
subjects.

This is interesting thread!
I think we should ask $$$ from mom and dad to buy Landcruiser

Do these come with a 5-speed manual or automatic transmission, and what MPG do they get?

My Cruiser is a 5 speed manual ( I am not aware of any with an automatic transmissions but I am far from an expert ). To be honest I really have not driven the HJ enough to get a feel for the fuel mileage but I would guess in the mid 20's. Between the 2 fuel tanks, it holds a ga-zillion gallons of fuel so you can go a long-long ways.

Not laughing maybe, or perhaps throw you a cheque " go and buy whatever landcruiser you want"

Pick up doesn't come with Automatic, all manual.

The "auto" would take all of the fun out of it anyway.

Anything to show up on what's on your engine bay?

Here you go.....The mighty 2H.....you can almost sense the raw horsepower through the photograph.

Nice truck. Almost as nice as your Prado was.

That was when I was young and foolish ( even though it was only a year or so ago) Owning that Cruiser gave "Crushers" a reason to get out of bed every mourning....so he could send me a P.M. reminding me that I was an "idiot".

Not "idiot", substitute this word to "real man"
