  1. All kidding aside Royale, I bought my Tundra in the fall of 2008. I was actually looking for a used Tacoma at the dealership and I asked the guy why there were so many Tundras sitting brand new. He told me with the high gas prices at the time (almost $4/gallon) people were buying Tacomas to save on gas (the difference in mileage was negligible) So I go a nice deal on a 2008 new Tundra toward the end of the model year and have been driving it ever since. Have had absolutely no problems with it (unlike when I owned Chevy trucks where I used to have dumb issues with glove boxes, door hinges, joints, etc....little things that pissed m off). The rear seat in the Tundra is larger for passengers, baby seats, etc and the engine is a beast if towing tractors, lumber, etc. The Tacoma is a nice truck but the Tundra maintains its value just as well with a slightly higher price tag (but you can feel the difference in comfort, engine, roominess, etc). @ExiledInIllinois is right...Toyotas keep going and although you may pay a little more now, it saves time not having little things pop up that need repair as int he case of Chevy (jmo). By the way, my Tundra was manufactured in Kentucky, so I technically "Bought American".
  2. Thanks for the heads-up Joe. When should I expect the warning on my rotary dial, harvest gold telephone in the kitchen?
  3. Lose the purse and buy the Tundra 5.7L...you might get 5 mpg less than Tacoma, but no biggie. At least you won’t have to listen to Exiled extoll the virtues of an inferior version of a real truck. (Advice: Don’t listen to Mead, Mrags or Flutieflakes )
  4. Man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.
  5. I typically use that tune when me and the Mrs. are getting frisky.
  6. Since Mrags only takes up one-half space, I’ll use his remaining half for my rig. Hoping I don’t cast too much shade with the profile of my ride. Oh well.
  7. No. This is where we discuss Mahomes. It’s a process. Reported to Mead
  8. One prime for my extra large truck
  9. Online coach or head coach?
  10. I gotta call bull **** on these stats (or at least how they’re computed). Nonsense
  11. Could these announcers cry about the absence of Sammy Watkins any more? They’ve said it five times!! He ran three curl routes for zero catches. He’s not missed out there.
  12. Alabama is a hot bed for developing pro QB’s. There was AJ McCarron and....well, there was McCarron, and....ummmm. Yeah, Roll Tiddy
  13. There has been some talk (from my sources) of Sam Bradford possibly looking to move east. We still have $7-8 million of cap room so I’d be ok with having Bradford suit up if Josh needs a rest for a few weeks.
  14. Winston: "Did you really go to Hofstra?"
  15. Not sure I want to be part of this fiasco.
  16. My car phone doesn’t accept texts and I only have 20 minutes per month so I don’t worry about such things.
  17. Once again, you want the whole enchilada but you don't have enough money in your pocket to pay for the whole enchilada. See above discussion re. keeping Watkins and Woods on the contracts they wanted and our cap situation. Beane's mantra has been to build through the draft (rookies on 4 and 5 year contracts), acquire free agents to fill in the rest. The acquisition of free agents hinges on the amount of cash in your pocket. Next year we can buy 7 or 8 whole enchiladas. Your argument boils down to "I want my franchise QB, I want D line free agents like Murphy and Star, I want a young middle LB, I want a fast WR and a strong WR, I want Shady, I want this, I want that..." You'll get the fast and strong WR. But you have to wait a bit for it. In the interim, you play with the guys you have.
  18. Holding people accountable for decisions is perfectly acceptable when the re-build is complete. Shoot, you can hold anyone accountable when the act which you are judging is final. It gives you the ability to reflect. But to complain about WR’s at this stage is premature and is an example of “instant gratification” (Give me my all star WR now!! I want my $200,000 house now!! I want my new iPhone 57 now!!). Point is, you can’t have everything instantly (in life and in football). It takes hard work and some time. Well said Thurman
  19. I keep scrolling past this thread and see the title “Amazon TNF Crew” and remembered “amazon women” could kick ass in Greek mythology. I suggest you fellas watch yourselves with the comments lest you get your collective butts kicked. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazons
  20. Success takes time...doesn’t happen overnight (or in one season). Sorry for the over generalization. Wait! Why the hell am I apologizing? Oh that’s right...I have to nowadays. Sorry. Oh ****...I did it again.
