    Wait...

    What have we got here...?

    20170628_0283_IMG.jpg

    Seems that the management of this shopping center decided to sealcoat two of the three entrances to their parking lot, so I had to turn around in the parking lot of another adjacent shopping center...20170628_0284_IMG.jpg

    And cue the Jeopardy theme song... 20170628_0285_IMG.jpg20170628_0286_IMG.jpg

    Let's try the next entrance (At this point I didn't know it was blocked off as well)... 20170628_0287_IMG.jpg 20170628_0288_IMG.jpg

    Let's try this again... 20170628_0289_IMG.jpg

    ARE. YOU. FUCKING. KIDDING. ME?

    SERIOUSLY?!?!

    Obviously, the parking lot was quite full, so there were people patronizing the shopping center. Therefore they can't block all the entrances, can they?!?!

    20170628_0292_IMG.jpg

    Here we go again... 20170628_0293_IMG.jpg 20170628_0294_IMG.jpg 20170628_0295_IMG.jpg

    If there is one thing I cannot stand about shopping center parking lots, it's the endless line of stop signs and crosswalks every ten feet or so. Figured I cheat and cut across the other side of the parking lot... 20170628_0296_IMG.jpg

    Unfortunately, it DID NOT occur to me that all access to the second entrance would be blocked too...

    FYI, I normally only use the "far" side entrance I ended up using on this trip to go to Acme. On this trip, I was going to Staples, which was closest to the first entrance I used...

    I ended up having to use the same part of the parking lot I was trying so desperately to avoid!

    Seven cones...

    More like seven middle fingers!

    You might notice that the guy in the silver Volvo on my left has all of his windows down. A check of weather.com shows that high for Wednesday, June 28th, 2017 was 79°F. On a day like that I definitely would have been using the A/C, but depending on the humidity, I may or may not have had the windows down too...20170628_0301_IMG.jpg

    In the home stretch... 20170628_0302_IMG.jpg

    As I rounded the final corner, another kind of obstacle appeared...

    Once I was done shopping at Staples, I still had to go back the way I'd come...

    Looks like the owner of the white Audi convertible parked properly this time, or at least stayed off the curb!

    Had to make another trip to that shopping center, but it was to the supermarket this time, so the blocked entrances weren't a problem...

    That parking lot is still a pain in the ass though!

    It seems like everyone is getting a Taco or a 4Runner as a free loaner...

    All I got was a damn Corolla!

    I guess you have to actually have your frame replaced to get a similar vehicle?

    Red V6/5-speed AC SR5 4x4. In my opinion, all it would need initially is new speakers!

    Hey Charlie,

    Before you pull the trigger on that beauty, check out a brand new SR5. I bought mine for only $28,400 OTD in 2016.

    Or use this info to haggle them down LOL.

    I said it was my dream truck as in right now I could only afford in my dreams, and the only reason I'd buy another Tacoma is if something happened to the one I've got. I could not afford to buy a 3rd gen. My dad bought me my RC as a present when I got my learner's permit. It's paid for, I've got a clear title in my name, and there's nothing wrong with it.
