    I'd like to see something with a 6 liter diesel and a 8 speed manual!

    The meth head syndicate around my hospital target catalytic converters. The 5th gen 4Runner is an easy target. I installed the Caliraised cats shields which makes theft less likely. 1160391938384425040.jpg

    Nice! What's a good cat roughly worth at a scrapyard? I have an old scrap 4Runner I use for parts and the cat is still on it so I'm considering scrapping it as I don't need it. I figure I could get a fair amount for it

    It’s pretty bad when you’re trying to treat patients and have to worry about your vehicle getting vandalized/stolen or parts removed. Unbelievable!

    Are black cats worth more than orange cats?

    I have a couple spare spray paints, we could start a side hustle. Noone will know the difference.

    U know it’s bad when I can tell which drugs the addicts are using based on their activity at the bus stops.
