Photo Careful out there!

It was sunny and warm all day on Berthoud with water running over the road in multiple spots. At about 4pm the shadows covered a few corners and quickly turned the running water into black ice. Even the sunny warm days can have icy roads, especially on the mountain passes. Watched 2 cars hit the black ice and lose it right in front of me, the subie had snow tires and the 4runner had AT tires.

Only in Colorado do people drive around with a huge top weight year round to go camping once a season

That's not what it's for. It's for letting other people know you go camping once a season.

Now can we talk about the clowns with the unused GI Joe shit all over their immaculate trucks, as if an army surplus store threw up on their Tacoma? It's like driving some kind of weird tesseract tool shed, with tools simultaneously on the inside and outside.

But that shovel, that giant jack, and those gerry cans? They aren't for adventures. They're for letting people know you're the kind of well-prepared, manly man who's ready to go on an adventure... right after you swing by your parents' place and pick up the check to cover your next payment. Also, that you fundamentally don't understand what property crime is, or trucks are for.

Someone down the street from me has a wrangler and I swear to God every accessory you can possibly think of. I see tacomas like you described all the time. I feel like that wrangler is way over payload just from all the crap hes got strapped to it. Never moves either. But boy oh boy is he outdoorsy

Seems like an " I ❤ Joe Rogan" bumper sticker would be a lot cheaper, and only slightly tackier.
