    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Much like the source of a river, many smaller sources form the greater body. You just have to find the body

    Im so glad I sold my Acura. Buying premium for it on top of what I pay to fill up the truck would break me. That car would ping like crazy with 87, any advantages in fuel economy were negated with having to pay for premium gas.

    Yeah, I could come up with rationalizations like short commutes or outright lies like smiles per gallon, but tbh it's really just denial that keeps me going at this point

    I paid $93 yesterday for $25 gallons. It would have been $118 without the $1 off per gallon. I don't think its dropped up here at all. Down in Carson City its $3.57 at Costco which is only 20 Minutes away.

    Yeah if I lived that close to another state's border, I'd be making that trip for gas out of state

    Coffee and popcorn? That does sound like something a Toyota dealer would do.

    Oh yeah, the one out here has a full on self-serve espresso machine and one of those fancy movie popcorn machines.

    Almost takes the edge off a $3,000+ clutch job....almost

    Some Lexus dealers have massage chairs and spas. You just haven’t spent enough money.


    Every time I hear about how much it costs to get repairs done, and the horror stories from stuff gone wrong, spending money on tools doesn’t sound so bad. Currently trying to talk myself out of a shop press.
