Yeah
The game was seriously lagging for a while (worse than it currently is) so we opened it up to any 4 wheeled vehicle

NEXT UP: Your vehicle at a Donut shop.
Of course,

As MeefZah said, we opened it up a little bit when some of us were 4Runner-less just to keep the game going. I had a JLUR for a while, there was a Tacoma, and now you may see another Wrangler or police cruisers, etc. BUT, if we had more people playing and posting 4Runners then it would mostly 4Runner Photo Game. So go get one of the challenges done.

Fry’s Electronics. Started in Sunnyvale CA in 1985, billed as the "The One-Stop Shop for the Silicon Valley Professional" where you could buy computer chips, potato chips, soft drinks, and Playboy magazines. In the 80s and 90s most small electronic stores were closing and it was the go-to store for the electronic hobbiest, and computer nerd. It just announced all stores were closing. The end of an era.
Fry’s Electronics is shutting its doors for good - The Verge
Fry's Electronics - Wikipedia
Your task:
Take a photo of your vehicle at the carcass of your local closed Fry’s Electronics
*EDIT:
Or ANY electronics store, if you can find one...

No luck here. But we're well past the reset time and this thread needs some life. So while not technically a landmark, here are a couple of pictures from Denver's record-setting blizzard last weekend. Ended up being the largest two-calendar-day snowstorm on record at 27.1" The first picture was taken midday on Sunday after my second shoveling session, and the second when I finished shoveling for the day at 8:00 Sunday evening. Since the 4Runner has Blizzak tires, the Wrangler got to sit this out in the garage alongside my wife's car (which always gets a garage spot).
Next challenge: Your vehicle with some sort of weather event (snow, rain, hail, tornado, etc.).

We had a massive amount of rain move through last night along with high winds 70 mph in the mountains and tornados south of us. Ignore the Green Acres barn in the background that I've yet to tear down. We've lived here 6 months and I've never seen ponding in this area. It appeared to be running over the sidewalk when it was raining. Another thing to fix I suppose.
Next challenge: Your ride at the lake or river... bonus if dipping a tire in.

That barn actually looks kind of cool. Like the ones MeefZah would photo his bike next to.

My "ride at the river"
Eel River at its mouth at the Pacific Ocean, single lane bridge to Cock Robin Island.
Next, your machine with a sign with the word "bridge " in it... that's not at a bridge.

It is a cool pic, but MeefZah's challenge is still in play. A sign with the word "bridge" in it that's not at a bridge.
