GraveYard Shift BS

Well my machine broke, down till Monday. RIP OT. Guess I'll get rested up for the offroad trip.

 

I’ll be sawing logs, off til Monday night.

 

I went to bed last night and had to get up 2 hours later. So I'm still going on 2 hours of sleep. At least it's camping starting tomorrow so I'll be asleep early.

Oh and I'm off till Tuesday!

 

Ordered some AtTheHelm Bedside reinforcements. With the blowout sale going on, it was a no brainer.

 

I'm off til next thursday....


Finally made it home and I don't think our AC is working.

 

Been through that. Landlord told the repair guys we weren't a priority so we went without A/C for a month or so.

 

That's shitty


Ours is only 1-2 yrs old so should still be under warranty.

 

I saw that. I've had my @Bentrodder ones for a month or so. Love them.

Hopefully it's something easy

I bet if you had held on to your monthly payment, they would have made it priority. Shit like that pisses me off to no end when a company does that to people.

 

She had the nerve to keep half of my deposit because I was using a portable Washer/dryer. (utilities were included in rent) And she picked up rent when she felt like it. Our internet was shared for the whole building too. Talk about slow. 3/10 would not recommend.

 

3 down, 7 more to go! Morning every

 

Morning! Took the kitter into the vet this morning. Got me some new slashes trying to stuff her in the carry cage.

 

What's it not doing or doing?

3 things to check:

Is the fan on the outside heat pump running?

Is the fan on the house furnace running?

Is there a block of ice in the house furnace air filter housing?

 

Cat carriers.

The original Thunderdome.

 

Once she got to the vet she was fine. It's like they have cat whisperers in there. I always feel bad, but it's gotta be done.

 

I'm thinking brisket this weekend ...

 

First off want to introduce myself, I am bearsnut84 and hopefully a soon to be Tacoma owner. This thread will be perfect for me as I work third shift in US on central time zone. I wanted to come to this thread to ask some questions about the Tacomas and get some feedback. Thanks for any replies and help and look forward to getting to know everyone.

I am looking at a 2017 Black Tacoma Crew Cab, I will post the link below. It is brand new and has 26oish miles on it, they said it on one that has just sat on lot and not sold. I think price is a little high but they will not work with me at all on it, they said it was already priced to move.

Couple concerns I want to hear some feedback on are
1. Gas Mileage- I drive 37 miles each way to work on highway going about 60mph. What can I expect MPG? Can I do anything to help it?
2. Back Seat- I am concerned with having 4 adults in the truck at the same time as this will become our main vehicle to go places in if I was to buy it.
3. Price- is it priced right??

Now the link. Thanks ahead of time for any feedback and help, also that butt looks good! I want to talk smoking once I am on here more.

I have a Tundra as well as the Tacoma. The MPG on the xway are within 1-3 mpg. I always take the Tundra when running the xway. I would have a hard time taking adults in the Tacoma when the Tundra is so much more comfortable.

I love both my Toyota trucks, but for different reasons. I wish I could offer you more advice.

That is a pretty good looking truck and I don't have a new Tacoma so I can't tell you if its a good price.

 

Howdy and welcome.

20mpg , results may very well city driving. Over 65 mph and you'll start dropping quick. It is a truck after all.

You should fit 4 adults just fine. It's going to be the same as any mid size truck. But it's way better than the midsize gm.

Price wise, that seems high to me. Here's a link to a specific Post, but I'd comb through this thread. Pay attention to when they bought it i.e. current year or not.

@bearsnut84 maybe not. Didn't realize it was a premium package. So that sounds close. Either way I'd look at 3 or 4 of them at the end of the month. Go Into the dealerships in the beginning of the week. Go to the most expensive one, give 30 minutes, and then say you have another offer and give the real price of the other ones, and see if they can beat it. Have them print out an offer sheet before you go. Bring that to the next dealership and repeat. They'll undercut each other because they know how low they can really go, and the sales men always want their closing numbers.
