    I don’t necessarily like them (I don’t think anyone does unless they’re just weird like that) but they also don’t disgust me. It seems like a pretty straightforward decision for me since my dad already owns a small-town dental office that I could take over. Also, the 8-4 hour days (including a 1.5-2 hour lunch) 4 days a week seems pretty nice. It would also give me enough funding for all of my hobbies later on.

    Other than the lack of armor and 4.30 gears sounds like mine, you do have heavier tires though even though theyre the same size. Let's say 19mpg

    I rarely ever see that. It comes on at around 350 for me I think. Weekly fill ups. I'm terrified of running out of gas after seeing how quick stations ran out after the Colonial Pipeline in alabama blew up last year.

    I used to go to college over a mtn, it was bad MPG but not as bad as some of these guys get on flat ground.

    My free time is filled with after school help atm. I have lots of free time as I work from 5 am to 9 am.



    College is temporary, after that you just work the rest of your life. Might as well enjoy it.

    The government is gonna help me pay for my next semester, Atleast till I graduate.

    I pay for housing, food, gas, books, tuition, all that good growing up college stuff. I’d have to work 40 hour weeks to pay for it all and I can’t do that, already struggling haha.

    My dad really likes fishing so we have a couple of boats and a place to stay at near the cheasapeake bay. Everyone also never expects for him to be a dentist cause he doesn’t fit the stereotype. I’ve heard some dentists where dress shirts/ties every day. My dad usually wears khakis or jeans, normal polo shirt, and some slip-on shoes. He also sits in the back office between patients and browses the internet and social media all day.

    I don't think that option is worth it... Take my advice and buy whatever LT tire the shop has that is new enough to not be 200+ a wheel. I got the cooper st maxx for $170 a tire and then it got popular and shot up to $250 a tire.. now I am running some other off-road oriented cooper tire that I got for $140 a tire but since buying them over a year ago they almost doubled in price.. just play the game and buy the tire that isn't popular yet. The only dud tires on the market are the "tried and true" with such good name recognition that it doesn't matter that their performance gets blown out of the water by every tire designed in the last 10 years...

    Luckily it’s only an hour away and the rest of the drive is relatively flat.

    I won't ever advise someone to change MAFs unless they can also program the computer to be able to understand the new diameter and total flow capability. Just changing the MAF is a recipe for disaster.

    2 packs of ramen noodles with taco bell sauce, 6 shots of tequila and a pint of ice cream would fix that

    Meh. New tires are at least 2 years away for me. Still got 40k left on the current set. If I win the 1.6 billion I may reconsider though. My dad has the Yokohama Geolandar HT on his Taco and they are doing great, yet to have seen snow in them yet though. Definetly wont go BFG or Toyo, probably good year, cooper or Yokohama.

    Why is it that when I peek at the 3rg Gen forum, its always full of "I hit so and so in my taco" or "Totaled my Taco" or "Got in an accident"? Never see that in this forum.
