    I love my new truck but miss my Tacoma
    Hahaha! Story is that my FIL got home from work, had dinner then went into their family room to watch TV. Afterwards they hear knocking/pounding on the door. It was from their neighbor saying how his truck was on fire. Their family room is located behind the garage so they had no view of it at all. He looked out saw the fire as the fire trucks were pulling up. Went to grab the garden hose and the fireman said "don't even bother""do you really think that is going to do anything"? By this time the flames were almost 30 ft high. Well the fire department put the fire out and told them to call the insurance company.
    I looked at it the next day. There was no evidence that a radiator, condenser or fan were ever even in the truck. They were completely melted away! The insurance company later said that it was a rare but know condition that happened in some years S10's that a fuel line above the exhaust manifold would leak and after sitting for a while start dripping and they caught fire...

    So I'm debating.... Use 44% tint that will meter at 38%(and stay completely legal) or use 38% tint and be screwed if they meter it...

    The local alternative rock station did a 90's weekend for Labor Day Weekend. I loved hearing all the old stuff I haven't heard since junior high or so (even if it did make me feel pretty damn old when they said shit like "And this one came out 20 years ago!").
    But, now I've got all these old alt. rock tunes rattling around in my head. Stupid earworms.

    I almost exclusively listen to lithium on xm radio which is the 90's alt/grunge station. I know how you feel.

    Whatever is legal, that's what I put on my front windows. If they meter it, I'll be a little over legal because of what is on the windows from the factory. I said screw it.

    Damn.
    In '77 I wasn't even an itch in my daddy's jeans...

    I used to listen to that one when I had XM. Got a gift subscription for x-mas one year, but when it expired I decided I didn't want to pay to listen to the radio, lol.

    Good morning.
    Front: 90/90-21
    Rear: 120/80-18

    Those were the sizes on it when I bought it, I stuck with that size when I bought new ones. I wanted kenda big blocks but they don't make one for the rear. They are mainly for bigger adventure bikes.

    I love it cause I drive so much. I've got unlimited data so I could stream Pandora all day every day(and I do at work usually), but I like xm better for driving.

    Yeah, and you travel a decent distance for work. So you'd lose stations as you traveled otherwise. The ones I listen to are close enough that I'm in their range as long as I'm South of Bangor-ish, since they're all based in Portland.
