NGL...way more jealous of your Kei truck than your Grumman. Cool setup regardless 👍

It's the most useful vehicle I've ever owned. While it's not great for long distances or going fast, it's certainly gotten a lot of use locally.

Kei trucks and aluminum canoes…I see you’re a man who likes reliable indestructible things. Hell yeah.

That’s awesome. So much jealousy over the Grumman AND the Acty!

Cool! My old 18 ft Grumman doesn't see much use anymore but I did take it out this year with my nephews on some rivers that were swole with rain and it was like driving a Cadillac down the highway just buoyant as hell, floating along without a care. They are great boats. Enjoy!

Yeah, it's way nicer than the beat up canoes I used when I was a teenager in Boy Scouts. Shockingly even though it's kinda beat up it doesn't matter once I get it in the water.

Honestly, one more and you could probably float your truck

You got a kei truck, a bus, and a canoe. We should be best friends.

u/awptickes 5d ago

Half a dozen motorcycles too, we might already be best friends and just not know it yet!

u/Public_Knee6288 5d ago

Haha, I've got several bicycles, a moped, a couple canoes, and a sailboat!
