New England B.S. Thread

Got these today. Took three hours because their compressor failed just after I got there, but as a result they didn't charge me to mount and balance--only the cost of the tires. So, after the rebate that I learned existed my grand total will be about $600. Plus, I will hopefully be able to sell the stock Michelins so I'll be under $500.

 

I put two sets of those on my Gen 1 and they were awesome. Good tires for less money than BFG or Michelin.

 

Haddad Toyotas compressor failed this morning too, my wheels took a little longer than they said to get it finished up. Said they kept lifting cars and not being able to get them back down.

Those tires look nice, and the price sounds good too!

On a side note, why are all these tires "AT3" is it All Terain 3 season? Or something like that? Mine are AT3 too.

 

That's where I was this morning! My friend's father is their parts manager so I like to give him the business when I can.

I walked over to the Stop and Shop for an hour or so then came back. I was in their waiting room from probably 11:30 - 1:00.

 

Yeah, All Terrain I believe.

 

That's funny, I got there at 1:05. Maybe we passed each other. I got long hair and a beard, had blue shirt and green shirt with boots on.

 

I looked at my invoice and it was dated 12:46 PM, so I probably left just before you got there. I have short hair, no beard, and had a dark gray t-shirt and jeans on this morning. My F-150 was right in front of the waiting area windows when it was done.

 

yeah I think we missed eachother. Oh well!

 

The Cooper AT3s?

These are AT3 4S, which are new this year. They're severe snow rated unlike the old AT3s, but the overall design is very similar. I'm happy so far, they're silent and the back end didn't slide around on every corner on the dirt road I took on the way home.

 

Probably. I don't think I saw any Tacomas that weren't totally stock around.

 

If anyone knows someone that is selling a 4WD truck (mid size preferred) that is in decent shape , let me know. I have to replace the one my daughter had. Needs to be 4WD, auto, air bags and abs, under 9k, preferring less than 150k on the clock.

Edit: have cash in hand...

 

you do know it's only going to get worse if you think this is cold...

 

He knows!

 

HEY!!!!!

I like the access cab models with manual transmision and 4x4.
i like the v6 but may settle for an i4.
I am looking for a vehicle with a good future i love these trucks and will probably keep it for a many years. That being said I want it to cost a maximum of 13k.

I am trying to figure out if i can get a car loan to buy from an individual or if that only works at dealers.

This is my first car purchase.
are my desires realistic?

 

Oh yeah, I know....

Should've seen me just walking through a -22f freezer warehouse yesterday.

I grew up here.
Just not a fan of weather I cant ride in. Or if I have to use the heat.
Last winter "back home", the furnace kicked on 3 nights, mostly because all the kids and wife were cold.
We make the best of it, but, I'm very uncomfortable.

 

Looks great! RWL on the inside?

 

Thanks! Yup, I have had two sets with white letters out and I find they're tough to keep looking nice, so I gave up on that idea.

 

Ugh...letters out! Letters. Always. Out!

jk, I get it.

 

YAHOO... Red Sox just beat the Yanks 5-4 in an October classic!!

 

Morning all...
Working on a Saturday. A beautiful, sunny, fall Saturday.


Blech.
