    This place is awesome. All of the questions none of the world's leading economists and market experts can answer are all answered here.

    I just saw a video yesterday about them Charging and extra 15-20% to buyers who pre-ordered. Some of the lower / base models will now be over or close to $100k

    It's all good, hopefully the mods just warn those members. But, this really is an important topic with mpg and gas prices which brings so many other issues into play like cost of living. The tiny houses are starting to look attractive (and RTTs). :)

    That's not how the oil market works. It's global and interconnected. It doesn't matter how much a single country uses, it matters how much the disruption effects the entire market. Much of the price increase is due to speculation, too. That's the just that really chaps my ass

    My daily driver for the last 27 years before buying the Tacoma was a 1995 Bronco 5.8L with 33's, so no, the Taco is not to expensive to drive

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    ding ding ding, we have a winner folks

    This really is annoying, the price goes up because someone thinks the price will go up. Meanwhile the current stock being sold has no connection to that future estimation :bananadead:

    The warning is in the COC when members joined. Mods won't even tolerate a political figure's name being typed. I agree with you though, I love the open discussion. I've actually learned a thing or two from the thread, but to stay on topic, if you have real RTT questions, let me know. I've had a couple.

    To avoid the shit show southbound traffic that starts at around about 3:30 pm at Rt 38 all the way to that nightmare where 295 and 42 come together. Can't wait until they complete the new patterns at that point. Of course if it keeps collapsing it will never get done.

    These gas prices are sick. Just paid $1.67/L ($6.35/G) last night here in Alberta, Canada.

    It was more sarcasm, but it's looking more attractive with each passing day. With outrageous NJ property taxes, we're really thinking of an Airstream unattached on land in PA.

    The main reason I've talked myself out of a Tundra multiple times.

    Gimme a second, I think I can spout off the answers to cold fusion in a cup, meaning of life, and my statistical theorem on why no dealership that has ever existed on this planet should be trusted to rotate your tires.

    One of my good friend's Dad had a 1981 Bronco. We took it hunting and fishing all the time. That Bronco was a beast of a truck. It was red with the red/orange/white stripes on it, and it had a black removeable top. I don't think it was lifted, but since we were 16-17, it seemed like it even if it wasn't, lol!

    Been riding my Ninja ever since the gas prices have gone crazy.

    I appreciate it so much more now.
