Vegas BS Thread!

SNORR is an awesome group...from the looks of it on FB they had a busy weekend recovering vehicles. Glad to know about them but...I really hope I don't have to call them someday

 

I thought somebody on this page had posted about having a dealer install the TSB 0092-20 update. I have tried twice now at Centennial Toyota (last was there for oil change, this time was specifically scheduled for this) and was told both times that I would need to leave it overnight?? I asked how it would take so long for a 20 minute ECU flash and all he could say was that the techs were working on other cars at the time. I guess I thought that was the whole point of an appointment.

Anyway, not going back to Centennial Toyota anymore after trying twice and getting the same answer both times. Anyone had any luck with the other Toyota dealers in town actually updating the 0092-20? Or, does anyone have techstream?

 

I never tried centennial Toyota but AutoNation Toyota is the worst dealership I have ever been to. The entire place is garbage. I drive across town to go to Findlay Toyota. Maybe try there.

Quick question. I'm at discount tire right now getting new tires. Is there any reason to keep the stock tires rather than have them discard the tires for me? Would anyone want them? 15k miles, all in good shape with no punctures.

 

You usually keep them to sell or give away. 15k on tires would put you around 60-75% life. You MIGHT get a couple hundred from a sale, but not many people want stock size. You could be hanging onto them for a while. If you don't want the hassle, let Discount dispose of them.

Also, my truck is for sale. Ill make a post soon. 08, ~63k miles, 4.0, auto, supercharged, 4x4, 3" lift, Bilstein 5100, etc.

 

Yeah I’d keep them and make some money off of them. Someone might be looking for a cheap spare or something

 

Next time you’re in Vegas, I’ll gladly buy that bed mat off of you if it’s still up for grabs.

 

Anyone going up to the snow (if any is left) this weekend?

 

Not sure where you planned on going, but I did wheelers pass last weekend and there was barely any, not even enough for the dogs to play in.

 

I was thinking angel peak and cruise around but I doubt with how warm it is today that snow will be long gone

 

Looks like this coming Monday has a pretty high chance of rain with some pretty low temperatures. Hopefully that means some fresh powder for the mountains.

 

Hello Las Vegas people. Gene here.
My wife and I will be moving from the New York City metro area (born and bred) to L.V. in mid-March.
We purchased a house in the Centennial Hills section of L.V. (I think it's considered North Vegas???).
We have been travelling back and forth between Vegas / Southwest and New York for the past 16 years for vacation and whatnot. Always loved the area. Finally going to make the next trip permanent.
Our NY house sold in a day. The closing is in March so we will be sticking around NY until then.
Just wanted to introduce myself now. I'm sure come march I'll be hitting you all up for some info, local advice, etc !

 

That’s where I live! If your wife needs a new stylist my fiancé does hair. (She told me to tell you this) hahah

 

Well I’m up here and there’s definitely snow! Took pto today to come tool around haha

 

Also if anyone’s on the mountain today, there are a lot of fucking idiots out so be careful. Hate to crash a nice truck into some dipshits Corolla

 

That is why I wait a week or two until all of the Hyundais are gone. Everybody goes up to Charleston, it’s a breeding ground for “oh my god it’s snow”. You have to broaden your horizons lol.
