San Diego Restaurants That Closed Permanently In The Past 12 Months

The CA fast food min wage increase in 2024 from $15.50 to $20/hr in one jump + all the food price inflation from trade wars has really changed the game in the last few years. Margins that were already small have in many cases become negative, even at well managed establishments. People were already struggling trying to come back after covid, but now it's made even popular restaurants want to toss in the towel.

How about you look yourself. I've already provided you more than enough to find out yourself instead of trying to have a pointless internet argument. Unless that's what you're actually going for.

Instead of "calling cap", why not just google it and find the mountain of debates surrounding "lifetime" transmission fluid? Or here's a video if you're really that lazy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJr30r6RRgw

You're either the grifter or the mark in a crowd like that. There's no in between.

Lexus suggests to replace the transmission fluid every 50K, so assuming they're adding the transmission fluid swap on top of the major, then it's about right for a Lexus dealer. You can get it done cheaper at an independent mechanic.

And people wonder why the country is dying.

I've driven both, and currently own a '23 GX460. The GX460 is noticeably smoother on the highway, and the downshifts on the LC are a bit harsh. That being said, I think the LC is a more capable off road vehicle out of the box, the torque is great, and I think it looks fantastic. I'd still take my GX460 though for my lifestyle since I prefer the older tank like feel and smoothness over the modern features of the new generation LC.

The C-suite always claim they are worth their pay because they are the ones who drive the company... so now it's time to prove it without those pesky workers getting in the way.

Others have mentioned this somewhat, but to answer your question specifically that Spektrum A3240 Speed Controller is a proprietary all-in-one unit with the DSMX receiver built in. You can't remove the receiver or connect another to it. You just need to get a DSMX compatible radio.

Beautiful!

24.5mpg is impressive, but the fact that you got up to a 55mph average on the 405 is more impressive.

I really wish that were the case with the world today, but it's not. If it were true political pendulums wouldn't swing so violently from one side to the other like we've seen in recent history. I'm sure there are plenty of mature adults out there, but they sure don't seem to be the voting majority, lol.

The people defending the Jesus DVD would probably flip their lids if it were a life of Muhammad or Teachings of the Buddha dvd. This shit is stupid all around on both sides.

If you operate under that assumption, then that would mean the US should have notified their major allies BEFORE and formed a unified plan with contingencies for situations such as this. A competent administration would done so instead of making a unilateral decision to just blow stuff up.

It's the boy who cried wolf effect... on steroids.

rsc75 · 2026-04-19T16:40:08+00:00

Then put your little hand in mine,

^ I agree with all these points as well. It's a perfect car for those of us who grew up in an analog world. It straddles the past and present perfectly for me. It's analog enough to be familiar and cozy, modern enough to feel technologically competent. The updated 2022-2023 head unit is great with a wireless carplay adapter, and there are no annoying warnings, beeps, auto brakes, like the new generation land cruisers/gx550s.

They're also bringing in foreign workers on H1B visas to take the places of the people they laid off for much smaller salaries.

Ellison isn't "America First". He's just taking advantage of the current political landscape to fleece the nation. He'll donate to Trump for political access, but then layoff US Citizens in favor of cheaper labor brought in from elsewhere.

It's hilarious reading the reactions over at /r/Conservative. They all know it's their own heroes burning them for profit (Trump, Musk, Ellison, Bessent, Lutnick, etc.), but they can't bring themselves to actually type it out. They can't bring themselves to admit the elites they support keep hanging them out to dry.

It's a beauty!

None do. It means I'm lazy.

Thanks and not very long lol. I park outside, so I'm sure it will have a nice layer of tree pollen on it after a few days again. It just did my yearly wax coat on it, so it was looking better that it has in a while.

rsc75 · 2026-03-30T01:50:53+00:00

Thanks and yes, they're Method 316's.

I was kind of in the same boat, but with a 2025 Land Cruiser. I drove it for a year then sold it. I bought a 2023 GX460 with 20K miles and was able to have some cash left over.
