Yes or no?
Yes. I bought one 8/6/2024 that was made in Japan and had it trucked/transported from a dealer in Cypress, TX to my house in Santa Fe. People claiming it has little power are full of shite, the torque will put you back in your seat. It goes like a billy goat in CO, through ice/snow up/down switch backs, etc. Passed at least 8 significant wrecks through a lot of snow with poor visibility going to Gunnison for a K9 trial, had to break ice and snow out of the wheel wells to keep going, etc.
It does have a stiff suspension, some may not like that (like my wife). I get roughly 19 mpg all around running 91 octane, but that is a lot of mountain driving and living at 7,400 altitude. Only problem I have had was the windshield cracked in about 14 degree weather and had it replaced for $800 which was a good deal. If you have long legs you may not like the bottom seat. Get on the Landcruiser forum and you can get an idea what owners think about the LC. Need to follow the break-in period on the oil, it stinks like hell on the first change.

Beers while cooking
I have a sister that lives in Prairieville and she said the most difficult thing is finding a reputable roof company, she had to fire 2 bad companies to get the 3rd one that did good work.
I live in Santa Fe and we sold our first house on the NW side of town after 2 years when insurance companies started dropping coverage in SF after the CA fire, State Farm was going to drop us. Moved across town over to the SE area to a community with 18 houses with very large plots. Had to use a broker that went through 7 insurers to find one that would insure a 3100 sq foot 29 yr old home but only at $725k with Travelers which is about half of what it would take to rebuild the entire house.
Our broker was able to get our 3/1/2026 renewal with Travelers increased to $1M dwelling + $100k on other structures etc. We have a $10k deductible with $4,266.00 premium. Fingers crossed to 3/1/2027. It's funny how insurers keep sending 6-month vehicle coverage quotes with zero interest in HO policies.

So what keeps you going back?
This summer was so hot in Santa Fe/ABQ I was glad to know where I could bring my dogs inside the breweries, get a few brews and food, and head back. I'm still seeing numerous breweries producing new beers and La Cumbre is always producing different Project Dank variants quarterly of La Cumbre. 2nd Street put out a new IPA that was only sold at the mother ship and it sold out in 5 weeks. Even the cinema at the Railyard has ~ 20+ different beers on tap (some from out of state) and you can walk for about 4 minutes to either brewery/food across the track.
Santa Fe brewing has 3 different locations. Some things are in the eye of the beholder. I still miss the Porter Beer bar in little 5 Points in ATL, that place is never going to go out of style/business for what they do. Look up their menu online and you will see what I am saying, they have beer lockers too.

That's why I early retired 16 years ago at 47. No kids makes life a lot easier. Health insurance is still cheap as shite so far in NM.

1984 - 1988, then 55 - 67, the rest flat out suck including the LSU font they supposedly worked so hard on.

Went to ABQ Boxing Bear award winning Golden Gloves Helles, SBD was Coldie! cold IPA and missed out on last 2 - 4 packs, settled for 2×4 packs of Wiggle Piggle pale ale instead. Found this 15 lb prime brisket and 6 bottles of brown at Costco for upcoming Tiger ball before heading back to the Fe.

Pearson has a lot of work to see the field much less homers.

By the way, there's no bigger LSU fan than I am, I just have zero tolerance of dysfunction and acceptance of mediocrity in any LSU Sport. (Unlike all you pathetic & pitiful little cheerleading freaks of nature)
How about you go back to whining about Beth and her program. She hasn't done shite in years, like the oppo of Jay with 2 Natties in 5 years and reloading for 2027.

FBD 2 ?? margs waiting out mini- monsoons before hitting Beer Creek and getting a hazy and a 10% Barely Porter and 2 32 oz growlers. Made me think about the Porter Beer across the street from the Variety in lil 5 Points. Think I have found Henrietta a home on 5 acres.
