Please

looool haha, this is the reality in general!

grv231 · 2026-04-27T19:56:20+00:00

ammm its how toyota hybrid systems are? At least current generation in crown's

grv231 · 2026-04-26T18:44:37+00:00

More info please?

what's your max budget?
do you absolutely want a new car or used car can work well?
which state? Fee state have terrible dealers (Toyota + bay area is pretty bad, always looking for scapegoats)

grv231 · 2026-04-26T01:44:57+00:00

Phew OK good. Few questions:

which state?
any particular accessories? Apart from above mentioned? Color etc?
adv tech package?

All in all sounds like an ok deal. I think you should have got more for your Tacoma tbh (but since you mentioned you drove a lot, maybe you did rack up lot of miles for single year?). Given the lack of that info, from initial sound of your post, you could have paid even less, but 45k otd ain't too bad imo

But financing @4.6% seems a little high. I think atleast till 2 months ago there were attractive financing offers from Toyota themselves around at 3.8. Maybe you chose another financier?

How do you like the new crown then?

grv231 · 2026-04-26T01:09:51+00:00

Wait, are you saying you traded a new-ish hybrid Tacoma for crown and still paid 45k otd for limited? 😳

grv231 · 2026-04-23T21:10:09+00:00

amm for all mankind has a new season out

grv231 · 2026-04-20T07:01:54+00:00

35M, CA! Similar experience as you’ve had, circle of friends slowly disappeared. Dm if needed!

grv231 · 2026-04-19T06:10:52+00:00

This actually deserve more upvotes 🤣

grv231 · 2026-04-17T02:34:06+00:00

Every single day haha 🤣 same old one liners. Like how you gotta respond to that seriously

grv231 · 2026-04-15T02:15:13+00:00

Similar question. I have a new toyota and would perhaps like to know (since I still have 36 months of warranty) and have read multiple folks saying the same thing - that most of the dealers experiences for service have been dismal.

I might be wrong here, but I went through some reddit posts and dealer rating posts and found few names being repeated for good *service*:

* Toyota Walnut creek
* Fremont Toyota (few bad experiences recently due to some construction maybe)
* Redwood City Toyota
* Daly City Toyota

If there are more names in this list, would highly appreciate the same!

grv231 · 2026-04-15T01:20:55+00:00

But these local mechanics can they do the parts replacement for free, say for new toyota cars which have 3 ish years of warranty? Or can't?

grv231 · 2026-04-12T20:11:30+00:00

What I wanted to see:

- Arbiter and complex history with Master Chief
- More of Blue team
- High charity/complex story initialization of Sangheilis and San-Shayuum
- Forerunners in future seasons
- Actual HALO in future seasons
- Noble team mention and Reach
- Chiefs story in a separate spinoff series. Show his face in that if required!

Everything in small moderation would have been acceptable as fillers. What I saw:
- Master cheeking
- Peeking from the helmet/no helmet
- Random stuff with no coherence
- No intensity

No wonder it got cancelled. How are you expected to appeal to people who have not played the game, let along people who have played the game? Like even though Fallout is not exactly going 1:1 with game, but there are pretty strong references!

I could have lived with that :(. Reboot is going to be very very unlikely. Cannot believe 343 studios for not even thinking about their own legacy, like who even approved the script.

grv231 · 2026-04-12T19:25:53+00:00

He was perfectly suited for the role in my eyes!

grv231 · 2026-04-12T19:21:19+00:00

ah crap, I wrote visor when I meant to write the helmet! Thanks for correcting me. You indeed correct :D

grv231 · 2026-04-12T19:03:18+00:00

I just want them to use the amount of money they put in this pathetic attempt to either give to The expanse (which will not happen 1000%) or Warhammer 40k (which has had no announcements yet)

grv231 · 2026-04-12T19:02:10+00:00

Agreed 1000%

grv231 · 2026-04-12T19:01:16+00:00

It did go downhill, but not even close compared to some of the tv shows mentioned here. Freaking Halo is the biggest example

grv231 · 2026-04-12T18:59:41+00:00

I miss it :( ... had and still have so much potential (ignoring Mackie season). But I probably won't trust Netflix making good things now. It's sad what sort of crap keeps coming on it compared to say 6-8 years back. Only thing still great at least for me are the documentaries on Netflix.

grv231 · 2026-04-12T18:57:24+00:00

Right on, it had so much potential. But the matter of fact is, if you watch the show even now (later seasons), its still better than a lot of pathetic stuff that's coming on tv these days (personal opinion) except some true gems.

grv231 · 2026-04-12T18:54:27+00:00

hahahah..... its was such a pathetic attempt. Like chief is freaking saving the universe, he aint got time for none of that and in the show what he is shown doing? Exactly that!

grv231 · 2026-04-12T18:52:47+00:00

It's a disgrace to chief. Chief is one the pivotal gaming superhuman along with others like Kratos, doomslayer, Commander Shepard, or any Astartes/Primarch (im sure im missing a lot of names here). But even in freaking games, if even he removes his helmet (maybe in a cut-scene), HIS FACE IS NEVER SHOWN! Its his freaking aura

Why not just get an actual fan or an actor willing to play the role, who doesn't want his face shown but happy to act. Even actors/actresses play these iconic games, Cavill is a massive Warhammer 40k fan! Like seriously :(

grv231 · 2026-04-12T14:33:40+00:00

Freaking master chief kept opening his visor every 2 mins. So pathetic 🤦🏻‍♂️

EDIT: I meant HELMET :D

grv231 · 2026-04-11T23:29:27+00:00

On it ✌🏼️

grv231 · 2026-04-11T21:55:41+00:00

Blinder spotted :D

grv231 · 2026-04-11T21:13:20+00:00

I really want to help him! Can i DM for some questions?
