    I've been seriously debating getting one in place of my 4runner. I'd love to have a truck again and the wife is on board. Just depends on the price and I'd need to sell my 4runner (which might not be too hard). I'll send you a PM.

    Spent the last week in Moab with my new iPhone 6 plus. Couldn't figure out why it kept over heating, sucking battery and needed to recalibrate the Gyro(or what every it's called). Had to calibrate almost every time I went into the Map app. Well Att sold me a broke ass phone... And Apple gave me a new and gave me 2 years of Apple care. It's always a hassle walking into that store but the customer service is always great and I always walk out a happy camper(wishing I was still in Moab)

    I usually start off by asking a mid level technical question just to see if I got a guy that's gonna BS me or might actually know what he's talking about.

    Example: As I'm standing next to a tundra, with my head in the wheel well, "what's the difference between the Tacoma suspension and the Tundra suspension, and the guy starts quoting towing numbers right off the pamphlet

    (not sure how that quote got here)
    You know it... Every time I have gone down to that auto mall regardless of the dealership they have some stupid comment. You should see how the dealership act around me now that a drive a LX compared to my Tacoma. Pretty sad how they deal with customers.

    Edited my post.. I'm going to see if she's at another dealer in a similar position, but not sure. For now, assume that's all dead. If she's able to do what she did before, I'll post here again.

    And then a couple months ago I went Into Toyota of Fairfield here near me, had them add up what a 2015 will run me...close to 40k? 11.75 sales tax you say? That's funny, because my phone is telling me that the CA state franchise has solano county set at 8.65%, so that's a funky number! "Oh oh oh I don't know where you're getting your numbers from, but theirs no way that is correct"....ok well thanks for nothing, I'll be doing business elsewhere

    I just gave her a call on her cell and will check.

    My parents bought their Camry from Hanlee's Toyota, their salesman was great. They didn't want anything to do with me when I was looking for my truck. :rolleyes:

    I got my 2015 from Alex Vito @ freeman. He was pretty chill and did everything he said he would. Of course this was my first new car and dealing with a dealership, so I really didnt know how to haggle and get extra shit for free.

    Alex was the guy who told me I was a liar and told me that 28k wasn't MSRP, but that was their dealer cost on my truck and good luck!

    I got a call from the guy who was Deborah's partner. She left the state and industry, but he promised to pick up where she left off as far as handling my referrals and making it happen. He's going to email me his info. If you're interested, let me know.

    I don't have experience with this guy but he seems interested and willing. Told him my history with referrals with Deb, so hopefully he isn't playing me like a fiddle.
