Guess I don’t live here :lolgasm:
:disgust:
I checked purple air... 29/33 days have been UNHEALTHY air quality. Quite insane. in my 20 years here this has never happened.. and based on my conversations with those rare birds that were born and raised here, this has NEVER happened in an entire GENERATION. (Yes there was one retarded ass firestorm in 1991 but that's about it, and it was 1/1000 of the size of what is happening now.

Also shit is burning that was built 100 years ago.... (buildings etc) so this isn't a "new normal" there is something clearly off in the past year or 3... but it is certainly not getting any better.

I told my SO that I am going to give california 2 more years... if they are as BAD as this one I am getting the fuck out, whether she is coming or not.

It's really scary TBH if this is the new normal. Last year was pretty bad too, this year is record bad...what about next year? 3 years starts a trend...

I recall annual fires in SoCal when I lived there, but they were usually easily contained and never had the massive impact that the ones do today.

We talked a lot about moving back west before deciding on Northern MI. Not that Northern MI is perfect, but we're really concerned about whatever the new normal looks like on the entire west coast. The fires in Nor Cal up to Oregon and Washington are unprecedented, just like last year but worse.

I think you're mixing up the years a bit but yea there has been something really weird happening in the last 5 years....
This is year we're already up to 3.8 MILLION acres and we have a month to go... we're getting chocked with this bizarre 100f weather for 2 weeks out of every month it is unprecedented.
2019 was 230k acres
2018 was 1.8M
2017 was 1.5M

2016 was 700k
2015 was 880k
2014 was 625k
2013 was 600k
anything over 1M is a BAD year.

Oh huh, I guess I was mixing last year with 2018. My bad.

But that's a worrying trend no doubt.

Msrp for something with over 100k miles and 7 model years. Yea no, which is why I gave up on them. They are wonderful vehicles but I’d rather get a new taco

Makes me wish I bought one when they were new. Could have apparently driven the wheels off of it and gotten my money back.

It’s better now. And it looks like we got rain coming. 40 days of the worst air quality on earth(with a few exceptions) finally coming to an end.

How many miles on it? Maybe the dealer man was using it as his personal demo and they’re trying to sell it off as new with 1k miles?

Are there other trims that would work aside from full bro? Turd sport? Dtraill27 had a man well sport he liked. Sharp looking truck. Are you actually going to take this thing on anything harder than a sandy 2 track?

It's not about off roading, it's about on roading when it comes to TRD PRO. :yikes:

Auto costs 3k more up front... I haven't seen any evidence that a :manuel: bro sells cheaper in the secondary market, if anything it seems to sell easier because they are rare AF as indicated.

Also a TRD pro auto is easy to find and they last for weeks on the lot, manuals are gone within hours.

Yea, rarity should prop up values IMO.
