You shut your whore mouth when you're talking about me!
Abe, it's been busy. Alex and I have been doing a bunch with the website, I began another leg of my home investment business, Gerry has been generally OK other than the things I've been complaining about for a while.
But, here are some updates!
COTR was great. Gerry did pretty well, especially considering there's something really screwy with the front driver's wheel. I suspect something is wrong the the rack, so that is on the list of black Friday items I'll be eyeing. She also needs new UBJs, as the SPC parts last about as long as the Cilantro bunches we buy every week.
Now that Houston has the GX (which, btw, fine car, not even close to par with the 100s), Gerry gets to come off of daily duty. She'd been *the* house vehicle for a while which makes what we do with her even more stupid. Eventually I'd like to ditch the rear seats and build a full-length platform in the truck. Other dreams, too, with these new long travel kits coming out. But short of another pandemic, that kind of sticker price is hard to justify at this time. Plus, I still want to do something fun with the SC. It's been idle for a few years just waiting.
The first week we had the GX, I was thinking 'OK cool, I don't need a 200 anymore. No need to have 3 3-row SUVs at the house'. But lemme tell you, I don't want to be driving this GX on long road trips like we have been in Gerry. Again, it's a fine car, but it's just... fine. Very clearly a lesser vehicle than the LX. The seats are not very comfortable; even though it makes more power the engine feels hollow and tinny, and to be honest, it feels like an Uber. We bought a good one, 1-owner with 100k on it, super clean inside and underneath. I would be so disappointed if I'd traded a nice 100 for a GX460. All that to say, I'm probably still gonna get myself a 570 in the future. She likes the GX though, so all of this stays here between us.
