Maine

Gardiner represent!

 

Many thanks to @ME OFF Rd for helping me install my new front shocks today, we knocked it out in under three hours and without him my ass would probably still be out there trying trying to get the LCAs to drop. Dude is a badass

 

I have been to the locomotives, but not as far as this guy.

 

Hey you were well prepared for the work and other then that broken bolt on the sway bar we got that job done PDQ!
Hopefully you fair as well with the rear shocks and AALs!

 

Damn, not going to be around this weekend. Where exactly is the race taking place?

 

This is what I image happening, but with a knife

 

Nooo. Hes a good kid, he actually works and listens.
This wouldve been the prior coworker hands-down though. Lazy assed mouth-breathing pleb.

 

Anyone interested in a factory tonneau for a 3rd gen long bed? I'm in Farmingdale.

 

Ooooooooh very tempting! Have any pictures? How much you asking?

 

Do you have a short or long bed? It's for a 6' bed.

 

Ah bummer... Short bed.

 

My apologies. I thought I had said it was for a long bed. (Fixed it, now)

 

Hey guys! Live in Westbrook (moving to Cumberland soon) but work full-time out of Augusta! Just upgraded my 2016 Corolla 3 or so months ago to a 2021 TRD OR MGM...yes Westbrook to Augusta Monday through Friday = A LOT of miles!!! But that's why we drive Toyota, right?

Anyways, just dropping a note in here so I can continue to follow the thread!

 

Welcome! If you see a white DCSB in Freeport, give me a wave.

 

I dont have my Taco anymore, but my bright orange Tundra sticks out like a hammered thumb and i’ll wave back if you wave at me, probably. I go through Westbrook pretty much daily to fly planes at the jetport.

 

Dang, that is a lot of miles!

 

Only 50 miles each way. Lots of people do it in Maine. At least it's all highway.

My favorite commuter was a guy who commuted from Bangor to Augusta every day. Had 193k on his car and original brakes.

I was doing 44 miles each way at 40k per year on a Forester. I got a job that requires travel which changed it to 45 miles each way to the airport once a week. The mileage doesn't pile up nearly as quick then.

 

I'll keep an eye out. You'll see me in a blacked out MGM TRD OR!

 

Close! Its about 60 miles each way from my house. But yeah it is common and 95% highway miles honestly not at all worried about the miles minus these damn gas prices that keep raising. Luckily I have a Sam's Club membership. I drill up in Bangor for the guard and I usually spend the night before in my office its about 70+ miles for me so a little longer than Augusta to Westbrook.

I'm thinking with regular maint. and 95% highway miles I'll EASILY get 300k - 400k miles out of ole' Tammy (the tacoma) and that puts me 10+ years with it.

 

I was doing the opposite before covid, though not as many miles. Gardiner to Falmouth 5 days a week plus going north on the weekends really adds up. Now I'm pretty much only doing the north on the weekends part.
