San Antonio

Morning all.

At least you have a valid reason. I simply don't like large groups. And by large I mean, more than I can count on one hand. I've got no right to speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure everyone will be cool if you get uncomfortable and need space. PTSD is no joke. Take care of yourself.

 

That just means that they'll borrow your shit without asking, steal food from your plate when you're not looking, and delete your shows off the DVR to make room for theirs.

You seeing anyone about the PTSD? I found a group when I got back from Bosnia that was really helpful.

Everyone's here for you brother. Take it easy - it will come.

 

I have the sr8s in dark bronze and I love them. My truck is black and I have always liked that color combo.

 

Would love to go to cars and coffee this weekend but sadly I am flying to Germany today for 2 weeks. Next month!

 

Safe travels! ​

 

@TxFireman How's it like being a firefighter? I'm interested in joining the department. That's a really vague question so this is probably a better conversation to have in person.

 

I've seen those Konig's before in person, they look really nice! I also like that they come with a decent looking center cap.

Drink some of that quality Duetsch bier for us!

I was working with a professional for a while but it was all exposure based and it just seemed to make it worse. I learned a few tricks to keep it in check and lean on that but it changed me nonetheless.

Thanks for the kind words everyone

 

It's good. I can't think of too many things I'd rather do, job-wise, that is. The work schedule is good (24hr on 48 off) if you don't mind that. Pay is good, benefits are good. It's a very competitive job to get, with lots of applicants for a relatively small opening field. But it can be done. The city has a website that explains everything that's needed to apply etc. and what the whole process is like. Best advise I can give for someone trying to get in is to not give up trying. Not too common for someone to get it on the first try but it does happen often. But too often people get discouraged quickly after 1 or 2 tries and give up. Can't get in that way for sure.

 

Tough call, but I think either one would look good. Probably will boil down to which one you're leaning towards more. For me, I had planned on the ray 10 in dark bronze. But having a pyrite mica, I was afraid the color difference wouldn't look as good. Almost like wearing two different colored greens. It just ain't right. In the end, I just went with something else. One because of the color difference between an almost bronze truck and the wheels, and also because it just seemed like everyone else was getting ray 10's.

 

Any SA peeps looking for a 2016+ exhaust? Brand new.

MBRP Turndown, 409 stainless version. 250$

 

Cars and coffee is still a thing here? Thats good to know.

 

You should come out! Would love to check out that 4runner of yours!

 

Might go next month. Just depends if I'm on call.

 

Tempting... Gonna have to do some reading on that one.

 

Turns out I am working Saturday but not Sunday... I won't be able to make it

 

Good sounding exhaust!

 

Welcome to the group, we take all Toyota’s as part of our little group here, if you would like I can post up a pic on the op here so people will know you by what you drive.

 

I don't have any obligations yet this weekend, so I'll try and make it out. Haven't driven the Taco in a while anyway.

 

It world be great if you can make it. I would like to replace the panoramic shot on the op.

 

Anyone in here want to try and make it up to the coffee and cars meet up in austin on sunday at 730ish? Im going to be traveling alot to go to the one in SA (on saturday) and the austin one (on sunday) but i think itd be cool if a few of the SA guys wanted to cruise up there with me!
