Dammit Sebby, I see your sig line says you have a 2020 ORP on order.
I went and looked at some used 5th gens today... I'm really having a hard time not selling the Taco and getting another 4Runner and I don't need you encouraging me with your purchases!

No one got pissed off and the game is not only open to Marks to post. It's just lately and coincidentally the primary players are all named Mark. They already explained the Jeep as I am trying to help keep the game going and I no longer have my 4Runner. One of the other Marks (MeefZah) has a Tacoma that will show up in some pictures because of similar circumstances to you... not always able to be in his 4Runner.
Anyway, sorry you have or had a crappy work schedule but the current pace of the game allows a painfully plentiful amount of time to go get a pic so that should not be a problem. I think our current silo challenge is approaching a week.
The game needs more players to keep it moving. Lots of people look in, say they would like to play, and then never do. That gets old too. You are welcome to play if you want. Or not... it's up to you.

Mark, you are like a sensitivity litmus test.

You know you should get one because it is exactly the right vehicle. I questioned the Jeep within a month of buying it. Then I sold my 4Runner so I wouldn't second guess my decision. That didn't work.
Honestly, I would like another low-mileage pristine 2010-13 Trail. But anything nice and below 70000 miles, people are asking $25K plus. I can get a new one for around $40K. So here I am with one on order, still about 4 weeks or so out. I wish I had just kept my old one though and not messed with the Jeep.

Yeah they hold value like nobody's business. There's a 0% financing option on (edit) 2019 or $1500 cash back on 2019 in this region, damn near a better deal to buy new.

And if someone wins the challenge before you can post yours, go ahead and post your pic anyway. It’s fun to see other folks concepts are.

Question, can I win my own challenge? I can easily get a silo pic but I didn't want to do that to seem like I was setting myself up to win.

Reply - > manage attachments (green tab under the reply field) ->choose file -> upload
That will attach the pic to the post
You can also use a hosting service like flikr, photobucket, Smugmug, etc., and copy the img link into the reply using the little 'mountain and sun' icon in the toolbar just above the reply field

Jeep to the rescue. Here is mine in front of an old crane hidden in the woods, piles of junk, and a decommissioned mobile crane that has been setting there for years. This is the old Candoro Marble Works located in Knoxville. This place boomed early in the 1900s to work the pink marble found here and send it all over the world. All of the big stones laying around are marble. One of the pics on the wiki page shows the piece of equipment in the back when it was actually being used. Though this pic does not show it, the area is a huge wasteland of rubble, old warehouses, and equipment.
Next challenge: Since I tried to see if this was on Atlas Obscura (it was not), let's do another AO challenge. Your truck with something from the Atlas Obscura website.

Things would rust here if it rained more often.
I was trying to find interesting rusty items along a road, other than homeless shopping carts.
