    And this is why I never offered to do it, nor, will I run 3rd party tune in general.
    There is just so much code, and information in these ECMs and TCMs, etc...

    Otherwise, I really don't know squat about what happened, and personally, as someone said, not my circus, not my monkeys.... I will stay out of it. I'm happy with 2.0 final, but, eagerly await the refinements of 2.0 ultimate. That is all I DO know.

    Either way, probably best, just to drop it altogether, lest it becomes a problem...

    On another note... road trip in the morning.

    That's part of the problem. There have been third party people, I'm not saying all because there are a lot of stand up people doing it, who say they are tuning with a new file but scam the person by just flashing a stock file.

    I feel the same way, that's why I won't run a locked tune other than something from ovtune.

    Hey @BadDNA @Sloth @mach1man001 cant remember Adrian's username/last name - what was that store we stopped at for breakfast that last morning we were in Vermont last year? The one with the killer breakfast sandwiches? Heading up this weekend and if it's close I want to go back.

    I know a bunch of general stores that have real good breakfast sandwiches and what not up through the area. If ya'll head towards Addison area there is a general store at Addison four corners that has some good bbq as well and breakfast sandwiches (down the road from me too).

    30 Minutes south... I don't know if they do breakfast, but their lunch/dinner stuff is downright amazing- Vermont Country Deli in Brattleboro. You will not be sorry! It's right off the highway.

    right off the highway I know jakes makes great sandwiches too. Not that there’s a lot of bad places around there, I just remember the breakfast sandwiches were world class.

    Honestly 28x32 isn't that bad. I've got room for her Mustang, my truck, a 16x13 workshop, some storage, and we can still open the doors on both sides of the vehicles. But a 13x16 workshop sounds like plenty until your benches & your floor tools are in place, and then it's cramped. And we store a lot of motorized stuff in those garage/tent things that I'd really rather have under a solid roof. So if money was no problem and I was building from scratch I'd really rather have like a 30x60 with a second story; room for all of the vehicles, boat, ATV, tractor, etc on the ground floor, then a workshop in half of the upstairs and the rest of it left open so I could put a lift in.
    I couldn't care less about a big house; give me 1200 square feet or so and I'm happy. But a big garage is the dream, lol.


    Absolutely. Any building material right now is just nuts. I think Lowe's is just under $100 a sheet for 23/32 T&G Advantech and like $85 for the standard stuff. For the square footage I was looking at it'd cost me almost $5k just for the sheathing.

    @uurx much appreciated. I actually found one a few weeks ago. Now I just have to wait till Toyota reframes it, that could be a few months haha

    I refinanced a month ago and am finally getting things going on my house. I can see the prices jumping in a few areas where materials shouldn't cost more than labor, but they do. But, it's within the budget and the end result will be worth it, so that's life I suppose.
