    I feel the same way.
    I have really enjoyed this past year meeting everyone and sharing common interests. The sharing of ideas and spending money on things that I never intended to do when I got my Tacoma.

    Merry Christmas Everyone

    This group is definitely good for the soul, but not so much for financial stability. :rofl:

    I've gotten into debates with responsible people about dumping money into a vehicle, and my stance is consistent. If you had fun installing it, or using it, or it motivated you to get out and enjoy the outdoors, it's a good investment. After all, they print money every day. Experiences are priceless!

    YES! This group and this hobby has been a sort of therapy for me. Losing my father and some other life stuff over the last couple years led to some weird and unexpected social anxiety issues, and it was a struggle to fight off those demons and force myself to get back out there and find joy. I found the right group! And dumping money into my truck is still probably cheaper and more effective than some therapist or something. I've been having a blast. Thanks for the 2022 memories, and I'm really looking forward to wheeling in 2023!

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Same. I looked into the cost of therapy and tallied it up for one year... One year of therapy costs more than the most expensive year of my truck, not counting buying the actual truck. Lol

    And besides the only friends you make in therapy are the imaginary ones who tell you to do things... Much more better to have real friends who are telling you to spend money on things or to give her one more go over that hard obstacle. :D

    My 'puter charger is not working. I have one ordered. I'll get back when I am able. Probably , hopefully by Fri.

    On a Debbie Downer note, I had to put one of my dogs down X-Mas eve, and the furnace is on the fritz. Thank God for a fireplace with a blower. 55º in the house right now. I'll get back on line as soon as I can.

    Merry X-Mas to all!!

    Wow, some rough news. Sorry to hear about the pup. That's hard around the holidays. My boy Stewie is a nut at Xmas. I'll give him an extra snuggle and treat tonight for ya.

    Hope you're staying warm enough and your lighter is still working! :thumbsup:

    Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and warm Merry Christmas.

    I've gotten 3 e-mails in the last 24 hours from RekGen...someone's trying to tell me something? I've been really good, have shown a lot of restraint the last month. Must resist...but 20% off...must resist...sliders come next...
