The Czickness XXVI. INCOMING!!!! Another thread about those pesky Eurotrash guns

[Usmccookie]

So...let's say you were going to spend $50 to $100 on one bottle of sipping whiskey? It would be?

Asking for a friend....

Macallan 12 is good for $40.
Honestly I love the offerings in the $35-60 range. The pricier stuff is inky worth it if someone else is buying or a special occasion.

That’s what’s pushing me towards the smaller cab. I think that I can make more use of the bed space than the cab space. We have two other family cars so the truck back seat would rarely be used

6' beds suck. Just sayin'. 8' bed or it's just a glorified grocery getter.

4 door for me all day long. What if you need to run an assault team out of that rig?

​also easier to get groceries out of

 

[Hoosier45]

Well looks like I timed that perfectly.

You would become attached to it and not be able to give it up.

This is why he currently has a lot of turtles

Yeah, but 4 doors and an 8' bed make it a huge deal to park. Cab and a half is all I can do for you.

OK. . . I'm back three days and I'm finally caught up.

There’s more room for a mounted .50 in the larger bed though.

This is why he currently has a lot of turtles

And a lot of guns he borrowed.

 

[Benp]

Ha nope, they have different offerings, I'm looking at the $2-300 range

I'd spend $2 for some good scotch, but not $300. That's $298 more!

Weller antique 107. Retail its like 46 bucks plus tax. Hard to find here and if you do people want 60-70 for it. If you travel to ohio it can be found.
If you can find that, eagle rare. Still harder to find but can be found at cosco, and liquor stores sometimes. Might have to ask for it.
$28 retail.
I dont look at dollar amounts. I care about taste. If i only have to spend 30 bucks to get the same that a $200 bottle gives, then hell yes.

COl E.H. Taylor small batch, like $46. Another awesome sipper.

And heres a sleeper you can actually find now. New Riff single Barrel bourbon. Its AMAZING!!!! some folks may need to add some ice or water, i drink it straight. Its not as "smooth" as EH Taylor but id pit it up agaibst it all day long for its complex flavor profile. Amazing!!!
$46 a bottle.

Its kinda like guns though. With bourbons once you start getting into the 200 dollar range you are probably going to get what you're paying for. So theres a reason it costs that much.
500 and up, doesnt necessarily mean that. 1000 and up, starting to get back into quality that brings the price accordingly.

Bourbon is a very wild industry. I AM NO EXPERT. i only know what my palette likes.

Based on 10 minutes of internet research, Eagle Rare and EH Taylor look like near future purchases.

Yeah my prior truck was a quad cab and was a pain to park or go down town. Fun to drive though.
I like the size of the Tacoma and everything else about it too.

Next time we meet up, I'll be sure to bring a bottle along. You know, for science...

My daughter got a handsized turtle when she was about 15. Seven years later its the size of large dinner plate.

 

[Benp]

Now I'm wanting a turtle. Nope, actually I feel sleepy.

6' beds suck. Just sayin'. 8' bed or it's just a glorified grocery getter.

I like the 6 1/2ft. Beds. They are small enough to not be a pain in the butt, but big enough to do what you have to do.

She had it for 7 years?!!!

My favorite truck was a 2008 Chevy Avalanche. Great vehicle. Just enough truck to do what I needed. Nice ride and zero problems in nearly 200k miles. Horrid Fuel mileage. Traded it in on a new Cadillac DTS - bad move....car developed a slight vibration. Replaced tires, wheels, brakes, half shafts under warranty. Never fixed it. Traded it on a BMW.

 

[mcapo]

STILL has it. Luckily, it doesn't reside in my home anymore....
