    not even kidding: get the Amazon brand percale cotton (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BTGYLTO?ie=UTF8)
    I bought these for $30 through amazon warehouse, and they're every bit as good as the $150 ones I bought from LL Bean
    (https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/115...8gQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&SN=flyout_test04&SS=A)

    same sheets, $120 difference

    Yes I live here and you are correct, the Tacoma is the official State Truck of Hawaii. Toyota’s in general are everywhere. My 21 is my fourth Tacoma and my seventh Toyota truck. My wife and one of my daughters have 4Runners and my other two daughters have Tacoma’s. :D

    I listed it online and they had a saleswoman call me. I asked how she found my add and I guess they go through ads twice weekly. I wasn't expecting a dealership but the offer was too good and I didn't have to do any paperwork so I was sold lol

    I totally agree with you here, man. I saw an advertisement on TV just last week, from Volvo, advertising their electric car. They stated in the ad that it would go just over 200 miles on a charge. I mean, "are you kidding me"? Is that something to be proud of? I drive from the San Francisco Bay area to Las Vegas on occasion, and it is just under a 9 hour drive, including stopping for gas and the bathroom! Now, if I had this stupid electric Volvo that I saw advertised, this same trip would take me just over two days to get there, because I would have to stop and let the dang thing recharge a couple of times, just to get there, and oh yeah, good luck on finding somewhere to CHARGE this dang thing, in the middle of the Mojave desert! So yeah man, I totally agree with you about electric pieces of junk!

    Exactly brother, I'm up in Alberta Canada, here we got vast distances where you can drive for half a day and come across nothing. Imagine now I want to go camping in the Yukon, we are talking easy 1500 kilometers and more!, do you think they will have quick charging stations when you are near the Arctic?, bs...I think people will have gas powered portable generators with them and run them all night so they can drive you said another 200 miles...are they kidding???!, not to mention that in most cities the electrical grid cannot support and supply every household with that much electricity if everything was powered by it. Imagine a city like LA if every household plugged in at the same time...the frickin wires will melt...
    Not to mention how bad electrical vehicles will do at -40 Canadian winter, or up in Alaska, Minnesota, Montana!...,or areas like Arizona where they have the opposite problem...extreme heat...frickin p....ticians...I hope I don't get banned again !

    Man, we are on the same page! And if the "progressive" people here get their ways, and really do get gas vehicles banned, I wonder what they are going to do when trucks cannot deliver products anywhere nearly as quickly as they do now, because they will have to stop and recharge batteries for 9 hours? Also, are we then going to not have any airplanes anymore because I cannot even imagine an electric airplane! I still say that from what I have seen, the only possible replacement for gas vehicles that could be possible, is hydrogen cells because they can be easily replaced. So I could see pulling into a former "gas" station, pulling out my depleted hydrogen fuel cell, and then sticking in a new one, in just a few minutes, much like filling up a gas tank now takes. Now that, would work, but having to stop and charge batteries for hours on end, well, it just doesn't make any sense at all, to me!

    While I don’t personally reload spent casings, it’s always an option. After the buy-in cost of equipment and components I’m not sure how cheaper it would be compared to buying rounds off the shelf - when they’re available.

    Drove past the Toyota dealership closest to my house last night and they have one Tundra, a Highlander, and a couple Camrys on the new lot. Then about three each of Tacomas and 4runners on the used lot mixed with other misc used cars and that's it.

    And on the topic of electric vehicles I don't care how they work, I don't want one.

    Ammo seems to be available online but just expensive. Reloading supplies are starting to show up more and more. For awhile primers were almost impossible to find but now they are around but for usually more than double what they used to cost. I reload to put together better ammo for accuracy.

    Just checked locally, we have money sitting on the hood for gladiators as well. 20+ in stock per dealer… granted it’s not a Tacoma but it’s market pressure …
    Also the maverick is all over the Place at epic prices as well. Also apples to oranges but it’s market pressure.

    bubble going to burst soon I think we’re at the absolute peak
