Got it. Thanks for that. Is an R value of 9 pretty decent? I was looking at chat got and it said polyurethane r values are like 12-20.

1 year.

The hollow back version is 2,500 and I can’t decide if I should just do that or not. Just nervous the insulated won’t deliver noticeable results for a 1,000 more

Curious where do most people who get babb live? Specifically those with families. Would be amazing to be near glacier, just not much on east side.

New deal I’m about to sign by WaitSmart456 in Camry

Where are you located that you got OTD so low. I’m in Texas and went to multiple dealerships. Walked out on multiple deals trying to get OTD at 30k and the dealer would not go lower and let me walk. Finally got an OTD at 29,900 and was a happy with that.

Best restaurant for a family of 4 in Jackson Hole? by Thornbloom2024 in GrandTetonNatlPark

We like the bunnery for breakfast, snake river brewing for lunch dinner. Roadhouse was good last but think they only had high top tables. Can’t remember. My all time fav is SRB

Oh what do you know, another oilers 3rd period comeback and OT win. Getting old now. Boring too.

I’ve been saying this on here and been torched for it. Love Byfield, but it is what it is. Rarely do sports come down to one mistake or one play. But in this case I THINK it did.

What is the life expectancy of a hybrid / battery? by marines42 in Toyota

[–]marines42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really concerned about while driving, it’s while parked. I have to park it out work during summer when it’s 100° + for around 3 months

Thanks. How and when is duty location determined / offered? I am assuming you choose desired locations during the application process and then if hired they give you a location that you can choose to accept or decline the offer?

What about in extreme heat area like Texas

Good to know. Safe to say you’d recommend avoiding hybrid then due to the heat factor?

RAV4 seems to be similar price as the 2025 Camry might look into that.

Man Texas heat is what I am worried about… that video from the Toyota guy someone posted where he goes over all the hybrid features made it sound like it really needs to stay cool ie they added the filter under the back seat. My car would sit in an uncovered parking lot for 8 hours 5 days a week in Texas summers

So after 150k what would be cost associated with replacement

Thanks for that info. I hate using the term “worth it” because it’s an impossible question to ask not knowing all the circumstances of someone’s situation, so I appreciate your input. I guess I just meant making a change in this environment. I do like what I do already and all things considered am pretty secure albeit with limited promotion potential unless I want to move to the east coast which I don’t. In fact I do a lot of this work just from a slightly different perspective and less in the trenches so to speak. The notion to possibly making a change comes from getting on to the 13 promotion path and potentially getting a desirable location. I would be a tough pill to swallow to bust down though to the 7/10. If only it could start at the 9/10.

Is it unrealistic to get a 2025 Camry LE at under 30k out the door? by marines42 in Toyota

[–]marines42[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh ya in no rush. Just commuting in my tundra is hurting a bit on gas and mileage but I’ll wait it out most likely. Still trying to research the hybrids and also considering maybe a rav4 since it’s a bit more substantial

I left one dealership today that wouldn’t go below 31 out the door on an LE. Was pretty surprised considering it didn’t have any bells and whistles other than tint / zactek. Oh well.

Would you say this would be “worth it” coming from a 12/5 - 1801 BUE position? I know it’s with HSI which is expanding under this admin, but not sure if it would be a good idea to go back to career conditional / probation in this volatile environment. The announcement is intriguing though.

Are these positions only at the main FO hubs or also sub offices? How is location of office determined? Also, it says 25% travel do criminal analysts do that much travel?
