I think we also should consider breakdown of the family. My uncle lives in the DC metro area and I was speaking to him earlier and he told me the local news reported a group of teens stole a car in MD, were driving recklessly, and slammed into another motorist in the early morning, killing the...

everything is so expensive today I fell as if I have lost touch with what things cost. Nevertheless, As a long time BMW owner those costs seem high. What I cannot reconcile is how they would let the owner spend that kind of money on mechanical repairs when the car appear to have Serious...

Good point. The press gives these people fame, albeit temporary/ A good example is the lunatic who tried to shoot up the correspondents dinner. I recall the shooter injured an officer but it wasn’t serious because thankfully he was wearing a vest. In any event 60 Minutes interviewed the...

I guess one point of the video is we don’t know. It bothers me greatly that these situations occur with some frequency and we seem to have no solutions (other than to retreat to ideological corners). It’s not at all scientific, and it is just my gut instinct, but I really think the internet...

Or figures don’t lie but liars figure. ;-)

Really interesting video. Thank you.

Quite true. We need good faith data.

Anecdotally, the instance of mass shootings has really increased in line with the internet. Columbine was in what, 98 or 99? Didn’t the teens involved have some sort of internet following? All I know is that as a responsible gun owner the laws they pass only seem to impact me. Criminals and...

Excellent write up. I agree with it. I have no issue with the brand or with the Tundra (that’s why I drove a few when looking for a truck last time) but if you maintain some level of objectivity the fact it is a Toyota only goes so far/. For those who have one, I would keep it. But if...

You are correct that in my line of work I have learned to pay careful attention to language, spoken and written. I would respectfully submit only people of a certain outlook use that phrase. Once again, have a good evening.

Not at all/. That’s what it is. If you listen and watch, how people speak tells you certain things. It’s only silly because candidly you didn’t realize it.

Don’t want to argue but the phrase “identifies as” gives away the game here in terms of the politics. It’s a free country thank God and so folks can think what they want so no hard feelings but that’s a tell to many of us. The eagle needs a right wing and a left wing to fly after all, as my...

That’s pretty good. I get 575 unloaded and 350-400 with 7k-8k in tow. Truck max is 11k less passengers and bed weight.

I understand what you are saying but as a homeowner I didn’t demand an in depth explanation. We work with people we trust based on experience and reputation and generally heed their advice. From a management perspective, if you have managed an organization of any size you realize that you...

I don’t disagree with you at all. Issue is the fan boy mentality of some who believe anything with a Toyota emblem is automatically perfect and never requires repairs, when the reality is that yes Toyota makes a solid vehicle but a lot of that reputation stems from the (intelligent) decision to...

FWIW your point is fair generally but the pricing is consistent with the emails I get from our Toyota dealer. The prior gen is expensive and sells immediately and the new model has a lot of incentives and available inventory. Truck buyers are conservative and the failures of that new motor are...

The hemi is just as reliable as the engine in the Tundra. The roller/lifter issue was resolved when they switched to a German supplier 6-7 years ago. The ZF transmission is as good as anything out there if not better. The two 1794s I drove were new and the both squeaked. Sounds like you got a...

These guys do.

I am sorry but for $40k I am not buying a 7 year old truck when for another 10k (given discounts out there) I would much rather have a new Ram or Silverado. Our race shop shared space with an overland specialist who did routine maintenance and repairs to help pay the bills. Landcruisers and...
