1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Natures lube. Its natures lube. If it was the devils lube, everyone would have the devil in their mouth. The devil’s not real. Nature is.

 

The internet's not real; yet here we are

 

But its nature's tube.

 

Stopped by to check on the Vic. They had to replace 2 pulleys and the tensioner. They were cleaning the filter so I can pick it up after lunch. I took it around the block. Twice. It'll let you get it all in 2nd gear. And 3rd. Oh my God the noises this thing makes. Me and my buddy were just giggling the whole way back. He said he wants to buy it the second I think about selling it. I'll try and get some driving videos of it if anyone wants to see them.

 

SMOKEY BURNOUTS!

 

Speaking of burn outs, it is time for new tires for both the Tundy and the wife’s Rav4. I’ve been rocking BFG KO2s for a while and I’m thinking of trying something new. What’re everyone’s thoughts on the Toyo Open Country AT3 for the first gen?

 

Man this shipping from Foxbeam is just about the most bizarre as shit I think I've ever seen.

I doubt they saved more than $1-2 shipping with whatever this bullshit method was. Probably UPS Saver, which is typically $0.60 - $1.80 less per parcel for me going cross-country.

I don't think I'm gonna order with Foxbeam guys again. This is crazy shit.

​

 

They last a long time

 

A lot of Toyota Service centers are having a buy 3 get 1 free sale going on for tires.

 

With a 33% markup on the remaining tires?

 

Car dealerships in a nutshell
Chevy Corpo: the new mid engine Vette will be a rival to most super cars in the market. It's gonna be the every Americans super car. It can all be yours for 59,999.

Chevy dealers adding graphics, stickers, and no power interior mods, charging 59,999 over asking because of reasons.....

That's how they work in america

Oh or the even more illegal way to mark up a car. Ford Chevy and some Dodge dealerships would, will and do take in the sought afters in in New status. They then "sell" them to an employee, or some random "person from the public" drive them around the block not to exceed 300 miles. The market them up double over new stock and sell them as used or a unlisted state in the show room with a that years sticker in it and that how you get dupped into high way robbery

 

I did it on the 2020 Highlander the last time they had a buy 3, get the 4th for 1¢ and I saved more than $200 over what the local Discount Tire wsa asking. And they normally beat everyone by at least 10%.

 

Not around here they don’t. Haha

 

Just another reason to get outta MA.

 

Michigan?

 

That Mad Max Furiousa movie looks pretty good. Watched 20 minutes of it during lunch. Back to the grind.

 

Maine. Damn, now we know who the flunky is around here eh?!

 

And that acronym is so stupid, is shoulda been MC for MASA CHOOSETS

 

They're adding 100k on the new c8 stingrays at some dealerships.

 

Our local dodge dealership in Shreveport (Tait maybe) had the only Viper in town marked up $70k in 1992 dollars when I was in high school. That’s how mich they said they had to bid over the msrp to get one over other dealers.

 

The sad part is there are retards who will pay it. Which in turn tells the stealerships it's ok to do this..... Retards ruin it for the rest of us

 

Spot on. Same thing with scalpers on the 9th gen consoles. Dick heads.

 

Not what I did to mine today, but what I did elsewhere. I dumped teardown vids for all 4 available drivetrains in the '00-'06 Tundra over here: https://www.tundras.com/posts/2980818/

Figure if nothing else, it's fun engine pr0n for someone. I love that channel, and sometimes it helps to see things get torn down so you can develop a better idea of problems and how to parts swap.

 

It's not untrue, but really it should be MT for Massive Twoshits.

 

And Montana should be RB. Because RB's is home of the

​

 

Ouch.

 

TWSS

 

We don't have Texas beat for the biggest everything, but our state does get its share of use in advertising...

 

Can't remember where I heard that...probably back in high school. I grew up in NY so there was some rivalry...
