I had a new car "delivered" from a dealer 350 miles away and the jerk drove it so hard the brake rotors were warped. Ouch! Yes, it's with SGT shipping. They are fully insured, semi trailer transport from dealer to door. They seem to be one of the top 3 rated shippers in the US atm. Talked to several companies than wanted over a grand, but SGT is making the 700-ish miles with the Tacoma for about $700 door to door. The way I figure it, by the time I get a 1 way plane ticket at $250 - $400 after taxes and fees, plus $250 or more in gas to get up here, plus the risk of me damaging it in some February weather I'll be near what shipping would have cost me anyway.

I'm anal about following the manufacturer's recommended break-in guidelines. I bought a new performance car 5 years ago and the first 1,000 miles were agonizing.

I consider it basically new since it only has 8k miles on it. Martinnfb and Woody V 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Precise and meticulous, as always. Exciting news about your new Tacoma Brian, hopefully everything will go without hiccups. I also ordered a truck, Gladiator Mohave. 3 weeks ago, still nothing and patience is not my middle name Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdthoresen Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Brian- nice work so far. I drive a 2018 Gen 3 with the G series Lexus engine. I have owned Chevy, Ford, Dodge and Nissan pickups before, but the Tacoma beats them all hands down. I will never own anything else…… Keep the updates coming in the Tigercat. You are so close!

It W I L L be finished at some point, but my plastic modeling MoJo has taken a dive since my moms passing and I haven't yet quite gotten it back. Its a labor of love on my favorite airframe of all time, but the kit it honestly just draining......although I am through most of the difficult areas save a few.

Ol' Scrapiron Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Yes. If a motivational pic helps make a difference, I will add this to @Martinnfb's shot to help get the juices flowing. But only you can know when you're ready and the mojo is truly back. Martinnfb, geedubelyer, Fanes and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian- so sorry about your Mom, it’s a club that we all seemingly gain membership to, but never ask to join. I lost mine just over a year ago, so I understand about losing one’s mojo. I lost all motivation for most things, and am slowly “emerging from the fog.” But things still aren’t right, and my modeling has suffered hugely. Just can’t seem to get into gear. All the best, broski. In due time…… Thor Out2gtcha, Martinnfb and geedubelyer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
