Wish I could fit into a Taco, excellent vehicle. Shares a chassis with the 4Runner. Maintain them and they run (seemingly) forever
My Frontier just celebrated it’s 24th birthday with me. Probably the best $17,000 I ever spent
Just spent my 19th anniversary with my Toyota FJ. Not getting rid of this thing
Hopefully that goes according to the plan.
Apple commits $30B to Broadcom for US-made chips LINK
- Apple has extended its custom chip partnership with Broadcom through 2031, keeping the longtime supplier on board for AI hardware even as the iPhone maker moves more of its component work in-house.
- The expanded agreement covers custom ASIC chips that can speed up AI workloads, and it appears Apple lacks the expertise to build these itself, which has prolonged its reliance on Broadcom.
- Apple reportedly wants advanced AI servers to train models and run inference for Siri by early 2027, using a chip codenamed Baltra, a supersized M5 Ultra headed to the next Mac Studio.
I own a 2009 Corolla, not a truck, but it’s still running. I’ll get another car when this one finally goes belly-up.
My son is selling his Toyota 4-Runner, which I originally bought in 2000, then gifted to him.
It has almost 300,000 miles. Still runs. A/C still works.
I paid little over $20,000 and he is selling for a few $thousand.
The 4-Runner cost a net of $18,000 to own for 26 years. Few repairs.
Funny how the tread is titled and it turns
into a Toyota (Japan product) admiration
thing. Not that I don’t think Toyota designs and builds pretty reliable vehicles.
Well, it did start out about Toyota building more trucks in "Merica
Yup, hope they build the FJ in the U.S.; might buy another one in UH colors for the weekend
Good luck with that. They discontinued the FJ. Nissan discontinued the Xterra 11 years ago which is why I still have mine. That 4 wheel drive body on chassis is badass. Also has the second-generation Rockford Fosgate system is highly integrated and includes:380-Watt Amplifier: A high-output DSP amplifier that individually tunes 7 speaker channels.9 Premium Speakers: This includes oval 6x9-inch woofers in the lower front doors, 6-3/4-inch circular woofers in the rear doors, and balanced dome tweeters.8-Inch Subwoofer: A dual-voice-coil (DVC) subwoofer typically housed in a sealed, long-throw enclosure.

The screen is small and hard to see but the sound is awesome
