Fine, I'll use the 4Runner. I only use secondary vehicles if it's an old tag, in an effort to keep the game bumped.
I drove 75 miles round trip to get the first stand because I remembered it from some motorcycle rides. Then on the way home I remembered there is a fruit truck that is probably a mile from my house, I totally blanked on it earlier. So you get a pic of both of them! This game is cutting into my sleeping time (night shift)!

Next up, your machine with a camper / RV name. I want the stupid / ironic name on the back of it.

I hate RVs and find the model names to generally be the opposite of what the stupid things are... "Bullet", no slow AF... "Stealth", not with that generator running 24/7 dude... "Panther", no.... some examples:

Sometimes my phone browser does a weird-ass resizing of photos. Look what it did to your 4R. It now looks like a miniature clown car.

Look like a Stomper!! I always thought they were disproportionately short.

LOL. The Panther one is stupid and it's not a panther image.

I will also accept non- ironic names
Such as "my INTENT is to beat wholesale ass because you have taken up two pumps in your ridiculous contraption. Also you have a Fiat in tow so double **** you!"
Not sure why upside down...

I was about seven cars back from one of those rolling roadblocks coming back from the mountains today. The name on it was "Imagine". I kept thinking "Imagine using the G.D. slow-moving vehicle pullout". It never did, of course.
Didn't get close enough for a picture.

Here's one I saw parked in the neighborhood (with one wheel up on the sidewalk).
Where do I light it?
I'll leave the challenge the same so that someone in their 4Runner can get a shot of one. As MeefZah later modified the challenge, non-ironic names are OK too.

Geez. I drove to the post office and saw four highway behemoths parked on city streets. Here are three of them. Crazy ass names. Evo, View, Rezerve.
Next up: a glamour pic(?) of you wearing your fashionable covid face mask in front of your vehicle.

There is no glamour here, just some goofball with a COVID mask.
Next challenge: Your 4Runner/other awesome vehicle next to a questionable monument, statue or other commemoration that may be considered controversial. Here in Tennessee we have lots of Confederate holdover statues that probably shouldn't be, though not wanting to get political. Just a pic with something and why it may be considered controversial.

So I took this picture yesterday. I wasn't super happy with how it came out, but the sun was in the wrong place in the sky and I was illegally parked (far left)... I wasn't going to post it... but it seems the challenge is not getting met and we are coming up on the reset so here you go:
This is also not exactly the challenge. It's kind of the post-challenge.
There was, until about a year ago, a statue of William McKinley in the city square of Arcata. See the black and white image of the square. McKinley, if you failed 7th grade American History, was a US president and he was one of only a very small number of presidents to be assassinated in office. He did some good in his 3+ years in office, but... a certain vocal minority in the community apparently decided that he was a big ol' racist and felt that removing the statue would make everyone feel a whole lot better about events of 150 years ago. So down it came. It made national news because that was before angry crowds started pulling down statues of Gandhi with tractors. Now, of course, every ******* with a grievance about how shit went down two centuries ago has found a soapbox and an audience of insipid fools; but then it was pretty much unheard of.
Related: the large 3 story building directly above Bill's head in the b&w image is the Jacoby Storehouse. When natives would attack white settlers, the town women and children would take refuge and defensive positions inside. A plaque attached to the building was also taken down at the same time as the statue was removed... the plaque made a reference to "Indian troubles", which lit some people's hair on fire with sheer rage. Down it came.
If you can't tell, I think this trend is bullshit. And I'm not a conservative.
.
.
.
Next, since they worked so hard to graduate this year, what with lounging by the pool and watching online porn instead of doing their home school math homework, let's commemorate the class of 2020. Good job guys. You did it.
Your 4Runner or 4 wheeled conveyance of the moment with a "Congrats Class of 2020" sign / banner / etc...
.

Here you go.
Sorry the signs are so small. I was tempted to drive up on the lawn to get closer, though.
NEXT CHALLENGE:
Your vehicle with Comet Neowise in the frame.
For those at northerly latitudes, Comet NEOWISE up in the evening now, too | Space | EarthSky
