    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Same, although I do get various Amazon rewards. I just put big purchases on my card and pay as required. Like when I get a Prinsu for the cruiser next month I'll just load that on the card cause why not get the credit history

    Incur debt to gain credit to own the 'necessary' things in life....'murica

    I guess in a literal sense it's not the worst thing in the world so long as you're good about paying off your debt in a timely manner, in some ways it can really benefit you. But of course most of the population abuses the system and racks up crazy lifelong crippling debt.

    Its like communism, nice idea on paper but in practice it's a fucking scourge on humanity

    I'd be glad about that, there are so many better options than that outdated box for the same or less money

    At least you didn't take a bunch of Ambien and wind up with a dozen Alpacas at your door a few days later

    I agree you should skip the 7th and do methanol instead if you need it, which you probably will/should

    Yeah you really shouldn't drink and shop haha. If it's not too late to cancel the s/c or return it then I would do that, unlikely you'll get your money back on it if you include it with the truck.

    The research says that the two sell better separately, at least if both are used. A new SC but bought second hand may not carry a warranty :/

    I put my old ones back on last week, tbh they really aren't that bad so I'm okay with them. Those do look really clean though, wonder how much he's asking. Most I've seen selling full sets, even in poor shape want $200+ for them

    My wife and I had 2 IRS agents show up at our door carrying a 2inch thick envelope. (We procrastinated on some scary letrers they sent and getting taxes filled.) Took some convincing by them before I let them in the house. Reviewed the mind numbing pages of investment and reinvestment entries that really made no sense to the wife and myself. Grand total they wanted was 28k in taxes and penalties. Oh Shit! Took all the paper work to my dads company accountants. Turns out the IRS owed us $28k. Stupid investment manager and the company he worked for failed to report that the sold invesments were reinvested. So it appeared we had massive capital gains. What we really had was massive losses.

    AMEX is great to deal with, if you travel a lot having the ability to reap the amex rewards makes the 500 fee worth it for the charge card.

    Get you one of these: Comentity - Toyota Rewards Visa. I use this for everything. I pay it off every month. I've redeemed almost $2000 for parts over the last 4 years.

    My current balance. I am trying to resist...
