3-400?

 

Times 3

Time to trade in

 

Lol Jesus. Not again.

 

What are we looking at here? Seems to me a windshield. Am I missing something?

 

Last august mine was $525....

 

Mine was 300ish. Got to love all that tech....

 

What tech? It's only a GoPro mount

 

Ouch

It’s a crack on a passenger side of the windshield. I have line assist camera attached, so it will cost extra for “recalibration” of the system

Anyhow I will wait till one day it goes across like a web and then replace it

 

Haha, hahaha...hehe, gah hahahaha. Back in my day "line" assist was a steering wheel. Today my AI line assist is my wife.

Welps folks, you heard it here first. The LAST yr Tacoma that should ever be purchased....is a 2017

 

It’s cheaper to have lane assist than getting a wife in a modern times, plus less sterss while driving

The last year of tacoma will be when they stop selling MT, then it will be rigeline on steroids.

 

The thinks he said below lol

Yeah I think you have a point.

 

I know about tss but holy sheep shit I didn't realize you had to get a new prescription for the eyeball when you got new glasses...that is asinine.

Errant stone cracks glass...1200? 2017 is the ceiling...

 

So lemme see if I get this straight...you pay extra for a nagging bitch (tss), it costs more to maintain the nagging bitch (tss) ie. 1200 windshield rep. And you don't get a happy ending? Is that your argument? Lmao

 

With a wife, there's lane assist and happy ending at the same time.

 

It’s a one time payment vs 50 year plus finance

Well, that’s like asking for an accident if that is happening at the same time

 

Practice makes perfect

 

That explains why we were constantly missing turns at Swisha

 

Apparently not a 1 time payment, I submit your 1200 dollar invoice for new windshield as evidence

 

Well, that is my first broken windshield and we will see how mich the bill will be when i get spider web down the road. Moght get cheaper as more tacoma TSS equipped trucks rollout on the streets

 

Ok, I wasn't gonna rant...I promised myself I wouldn't rant. I find I can't not rant...so

This is incredulous...it is literally the definition of "law of unintended circumstance".

So let's peel this onion a lil bit...TSS (Toyota Safety Sense) is a product designed to improve safetiness in vehicle operations, I think we all 'get' that. So now we have a situation whereby the safety device enhancement is impaired by having to replace a cracked windshield without calibration. Said calibration increases the repair cost (prohibitively I argue) by 3 times conventional cost. I say prohibitively because many people (as evidence yourself) will balk at the repair and continue to operate an unsafe vehicle due to cost. It is impossible to safety certify a vehicle with a cracked windshield that is in the area of the wiper path...because it is UNSAFE. Yet you could easily safety certify a vehicle if the lane assist was non functional because the inoperability of said lane assist does not make the vehicle UNSAFE.

So, the implementation of Toyota 'Safety' 'Sense' has, in the above use case, rendered the vehicle UNSAFE...albeit by the operators motivations. I'm not saying that it's negligence on the operators part (it is), but my point is the unintended circumstance of foisting "safety" (read kabuki theatre) on society has people potentially operating unsafe vehicles due to the prohibitive cost of said safety measures.

Ok, rant over...party on Garth!
