1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

oh god

the garlic pizza one is divine frozen food if there is such a thing

 

There's going to be an influx of people driving off with the pump still attached to their cars coming up soon in Oregon, gas stations best be prepared

 

Watch out for the Ninja turtle!

 

Oh damn.. I'm in the eye.

 

I'd chalk it up as one of my better purchases this year. Plays lots of games excellent, like really surprised how well it plays AAA titles that aren't super old. It's not for competitive gaming, but shit... replaying say Skyrim or Fallout or some of my racing games... great! Decided I am going to replay Bioshock Infinite too

 

one of the 1st gen groups I follow has a trend going on where people are tallying up their receipts/expenses on their trucks over the years. Why tf would anyone be interested in doing that, seems masochistic

 

Ugh was afraid you'd say that

I've considered it so many times, mainly cause I'm in the living room more often than the room

More powerful than a Switch too, and all my titles at my fingertips...only a no brainer

 

I save everything... all of it but I'm not brave enough to add it all up... I already do that on my flip vehicles.

 

yeah with a flip project it makes total sense, you want to make sure you're not gonna lose money on it.

 

Depends on the person

I'd wager for most, it's to show off how much they spent IE the dudes with RTTs and rotopax that are never-used on a clean, armor-all shiny ass vehicle with Kbro2s

Then the other group that truly believe those add-ons add value dollar-for-dollar to their vehicle

 

Shit I remember selling my Wilco tiregate profit

 

aftre they tally it all up to they go brag to there wife what they spent to? That seams like a great idea.

 

3rd Gen Taco/5th Gen 4R owners would be pissed if they saw this

 

I usually don't want to know on a vehicle that I keep. Like the Tacoma, I know I spent too much on preventative maintenance stuff during the engine swap. But here I am 4 years later and haven't spent a dime on it since with the exception of oil/filter changes. I look at TCO over a 5 year period.

 

If @Ozark_RegCab looked at TCO over 5 years he'd have five different vehicles to look at

 

I don't even want to look at what I have into the white truck... only owned it 4 years but it has been a constant project up to this point, kinda planed out now and is totally usable (minus the two shocks I blew up this year)

 

My saving grace was how stupid cheap I got the 4R for.

I'm like you though, my C4 has so much money into it...it'd be too painful to sell, so I'll sit on it another decade without driving

You've put a good amount of labor into your truck though; I'm not going to lie and say I built the engine and tranny myself. Those were paid for (not cheap)

 

Yeah if I had the ability to tally it all up over the last 7 years I would be utterly depressed at the number lol. I think some people just find comfort in hard data like that though, I am not one of those people

 

Why don't you use the vettes again?
