    The "exposure" con is just a bad cliche at this point you'd think would die already. I think photographers are/were an easier target for a time. It just became a joke almost. I hate those emails.

    Yeah the creative industry/arts in general it's always been really bad. Think it got worse with the digital age, when the 'arts' became more accessible to anyone and everyone.

    "why should I pay you $5k to shoot my wedding? My nephew has a camera and he'll do it for lunch" that kind of shit is prevalent in all forms across all media now

    I got them and I never even did commercial photography work. Agree it really only came in after digital was prevalent and mostly through Insta DMs. I didn't switch until maybe 2016 or 2017, even then I was half and half. Imagining them coming in now if I was still all film is hilarious. Two pack of Tri-X in 35 is freaking $35 plus the cost of souping it in my bathroom. I used to pay $4 all day long for a roll.

    @Speedytech7 I think you were the other one who liked the Ranger over the Tacoma as I did. They kept the refresh somewhat constrained at least. Plus, I'll celebrate round wheel wells any day.

    It's a two way street for sure. My point is, it normally sides in mom's favor, so you need proof of it siding your way any chance you can get lol

    Do they offer a 2dr version? Even ext cab?


    I love the new ranger honestly, but I FUCKING HATE that everyone defaults to a 4dr truck. I need my bed length dangit!

    I'm not 100%, they just said "initially, at release," only the 4 door was available. I get it though, I don't think I've never seen a 2 door Ranger driving around to be honest and I very rarely see extracab Tacomas anymore.
    Still my number one choice if I needed a new pickup.

    LMAO

    We started the conversation with building my own lol after sharing that ford 300 6cyl with a track loader with her, she determined buying that, and building a back hoe where the bed was, was less economical than just buying a cheap Chinese equivalent, which is why we settled on the northern equipment mini track loader +their back hoe attachment (which is sold for 2k lol)
