    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Cool, I've never seen a Mirai in person, they're only sold in California and even then it is regional there.

    I saw one of those at the local car show a few months back. The interior was super nice in it!

    While that may be the MSRP.....Toyota deliberately subsidizes them. There is a $25,000 rebate currently on them. Toyota loses money on everyone they sell in the name of advancing technology

    Pretty sure the XLE is the entry level luxury trim package.

    Those cars are interesting to watch fill up. Check out some videos on how high the pressures are.

    You did. Just pointing out its not base of all the trim packages, just base of the luxury model.


    Not bad man. Have another few weeks off. Need to finish up welding up the handrails for my patio, pull some wire and terminate them, finish hooking up the outdoor grill. coming along though.

    This week my oldest wants to put some lead down range, so we will be punching some holes in stuff.

    Looks like you are having a blast out in CA. I had some family in Sonoma/Napa.

    Hey, you're in my hood. I live about 20 minutes from Alameda, and I have lots of family there.

    I know exactly where you took that picture, there is a Marine consignment store next door called Blue Pelican Marine I buy equipment for my boat at. I got some VHF/UHF antennas and a radio last time. You should stop in there, you'd really like it.

    Should've tagged me! Would've loved to say hi to you. Next time you're around let me know, I work for the double decker tour company in the city. I can get you tickets.

    Are you ready to get back home?
    I know I was ready after 3 days.
    On day 9 I was 2 hours early, just to make sure I didn’t miss the plane. :rofl:

    It's been such a busy week that I didn't even think of it... :facepalm:

    However, if you want to support a member of my family and have a good time in the process, I suggest renting an electric boat from Bay Area Electric Boats!

    Bae Boats | Bay Area Electric Boat Rentals, Alameda, CA

    My cousin and her husband own it!

    Oh that's funny, I've seen those boats before. I've had a few dinners on the water in Alameda and seen them.
