Question for Autonation salesmen regarding long distance purchase

Hey guys, there is a very specific vehicle I want at an Autonation dealer about 2,000 miles away. How much, in ballpark, do you think it would cost for the dealer to move it to an Autonation dealer near me? It’s been sitting on their lot for several months too.

Also, my current vehicle is worth about $40k~, so I'd like to trade it in so I can get the sales tax credit for it towards the new vehicle. Would I be able to trade it into the Autonation dealer near me, or would it have to be the 2,000 mile away dealer?

Thanks!

Disabled Veteran Stranded 120 Days by Tundra Engine Failure While Dealership Profits On Loaner Fees

A disabled veteran’s $70,000 2023 Toyota Tundra 1794 has sat stranded at a dealership since March 16 awaiting a recalled V35A engine. While the dealer profits from factory loaner fees, the owner faces a staggering trade-in loss on his paid-off truck.

70% of the people buying the shuttle passes aren't showing up. Who are the assholes who are buying these 3 seconds after they release, and not showing up?

Is it scalpers? Indian/Chinese/Russians bots? People who don't care and are buying it "just in case" they visit?

A $100 charge on your card per pass if you don't show up or cancel your pass would fix all this. Even the simple threat of it is enough to stop the bullshit scalpers/bots/undecided people.

Anyone else just keep a massive outdoor dump bag full of hiking stuff ready to go all summer?

I got tired of putting stuff away every weekend. Now, I have a massive dufflebag with basically everything outdoors dumped in it. Hiking chairs, mountain house meals, jet boil, nalgenes, bear spray, hammock, tent, bags, water filters, etc, sleep pads, poles etc. Basically everything I would need for a day hike to an 2 nighter, short of extra clothes.

I got tired of packing at home, putting thing away, just to re-pack 5 days later and just pack at the trailhead now.

Who do you know of that has had the most successful post-ETS career/life?

Just wanna hear some stories

Anyone you know that had some crazy success post-ETS? Bonus points if it wasn't expected. I'd love to hear stories of some SPC that became a CEO or something.

Do you think if Toyota brought back the 5.7 v8 on the 3rd Gen Tundra, would it meaningfully boost sales?

Like how RAM brought back the HEMI v8, do you think it would have a huge effect?

RAM had a 27% YoY increase in sales just from the v8 alone in the 1500.

My F150 with the Freedom Camper on it. This thing is a game changer

It’s the 58” x 89” model so that’s plenty of room for my girlfriend and I. For comparison, that is a little bit bigger than typical floor space of a 2 person tent. We have 75” x 25” Exped megamats in there which if you’ve used them before, are basically as comfortable as a real bed. With one person on the cot, that makes plenty of room for storing stuff underneath. We have 2 totes, 2 travel duffles and a cooler underneath as well as a fan and lamp. I’ll get around to putting foldable shelves in there soon. I can sit fully upright on my cot as well.

Underneath the actual camper itself is space for my paddle boards, firewood and whatever other stuff you don’t want stored in the camper/cab.

Weighing only 200lbs, it only takes 10min to take off and 20min to put back on when I'm back from whatever excursion.

Overall I’m pretty happy with this thing so far. The potential for mods are endless within the community. People put whole RV A/C systems in there with fridges and all. The ability to just park anywhere, stealth camp and have everything 100% setup, is huge game changer. No need to unfold a tent and set everything up inside.

My F150 STX FX4 with the Freedom Camper on it

Love this thing. The 58”x89” model has plenty of room for my girlfriend and I. That’s a little bigger floor space than a 2 person tent for comparison. With one of us sleeping on the cot, there’s tons of room for storage. It only weighs 200lbs so it’s easy to remove and store away.

I thought about getting it on a trailer but there’s so many places you can’t go with a simple utility trailer and even an overland trailer. The STX FX4 handles nearly all the backcountry off road trails I throw at it.

Paddle Boards are immediately deflating from the nozzle after pumping with Shark 3, help

Hey guys, my Atoll boards are both immediately losing pressuring as if they were normally depressurizing from the nozzle after filling them up. I think what stops it is if I turn the little thing in the middle of the nozzle to tighten it. Should this thing be tightened before pumping? It's hard to tell because it happens so fast (14psi to 5psi in 5-10 seconds).

Immediately after I counter clockwise twist the filler tube off the nozzle it starts deflating rapidly basically

Growing up, I use to think mass layoffs only really happened when a company and the economy was in complete tatters. Wtf is it with these companies having blowout quarters generating insane YoY profit and still laying off thousands every 3-6 months?

Or was I wrong? I use to think mass layoffs like what FAANG is doing only happened during shit like 2008, not when the all markets and asset classes are booming and the companies are generating double digit YoY profit growth if not more.

Shit man, if these companies are acting like this during a ripping market and growth, I can't even imagine what they'll do during an actual recession.

PSA: Your AllTrails waypoints are now visible to everyone

Today I was horrified to discover that all of the waypoints I've created in AllTrails on my own private saved routes are now visible to everyone on AllTrails. On the app there is now a custom layer for "community waypoints" and it shows everyone's personal waypoints on all the routes they've ever created. This is a huge deal to me as I have several routes saved with secret camp spots marked that I don't want everyone on AllTrails knowing about. I suggest everyone delete their routes and wayoints from AllTrails if you don't want your secret spots ruined.

EDIT: Changing your account settings to private DOES NOT fix this issue. After changing all my data to private I found that even though the my routes are now all private, the individual waypoints attached to them are still public. It seems the only way you can remove them from public view is to delete your data entirely or go to every single individual waypoints within every route you have and individually set them to private.

I want to buy a new Forest River Rockwood Geo Pro 13LE - will this thing explode on me?

I'm seeing some for about $15k near me. This will be my first RV. I plan to buy it around October and live in it once a week in my driveway to see what breaks. Smart idea?

Or can I expect this thing to constantly explode, break and hangout at the shop? I just want something simple that works, nothing fancy so I'm open to other options. I don't even care for a kitchen, just a bed with a shower/shitter.

Would it be real alpinism if I summit K2 with an ASTP A7LN astronaut suit? Why don’t more people do this? It’s the ultimate mountaineering setup.

If you’re going to haul tanks of o2 and wear Olympus Mons, why not go all the way? Why don’t more people do this, are they stupid?

The ASTP A7LN can simulate sea level atmospheric conditions, has a rebreather for fresh o2 and can keep you warm in -200c. All you gotta do is strap some crampons on that bad boy and you have the ultimate mountaineering setup.

Hypothetical: Would you rather FIRE at 35 with $2.5mm, or at 45 with $7.5mm

Annual spend can be whatever you want. What would you choose?

FIRE at 35 with $2.5mm, or keep working until 45 and have $7.5mm?

Hypothetically, would you go to a luxury resort in space? Like a Four Seasons in space. If so, how much would you be willing to pay in today's money per night?

Would you do it? Assuming they had an airliner level safety launch record.

I imagine in 20-30 years, it'll be a very real possibility for the today equivalent of $15-20k a night, especially with Starship bringing down launch costs to $150/kg.

Do you guys think we're going to get rug pulled on remote work? Is the writing on the wall?

I feel like we are. Every company that has done an RTO, does it slowly, like how Mayo is doing. First it's once a month, then once every 2 weeks, then once a week, then 3 days a week. Or only if you live within X amount of distance within a campus, then there is a deadline that forces everyone to move.

I live several states away and I'm on the fence about buying a house and just continue renting. The last thing I want is to buy a house then Mayo forcing all remote employees to come back to a campus within X date.. In this job market, finding another remote job is almost impossible too.
