I guess the strain was more than the glass could bear.......

Oh well, two new units will be ordered, flat for driver side & convex for passenger side.
 
Yesterday, got in my rig to go home after work, shut the door, and crash. Oh well, I've been contemplating replacing them for the past few months anyway. Gives me a reason to replace them now. :hillbilly:

I've always been fascinated at how the subconscious minds works, giving the conscious mind what it wants....
 
After about a year on the Duratrac's, today was the first rotate and balance for them. I'm very please with the performance with these tires....Also receive excellent marks on the front disc and rear drum brake pad wear.

Rick, I'm pleased that you're pleased with the Duratrac's as my decision to buy was based on your post, they are great tires and they look awesome too.
Thank you!:hillbilly:

Oh man, I was hoping to see those Euro ones show up as a replacement for your shattered one.

A dollar and cents thing, as well as retaining the OEM stock look......$24 for the OEM look alikes that may suck in a few years, or $319 for the cool looking Toyota Euro ones......the $295 cost difference sucked even worse, so I went the route I did. :hillbilly:

THE PLAN: I'll take that price difference/cost savings to put towards one of those fancy @Racer65 OEM replacement floor mats. :hmm:
 
Lemme get this straight: the conscious mind wanted the Racer65 floor mat, so the subconscious mind caused the mirror to break, thus the collaborative reasoning is that the money saved by not buying the expensive Euro mirrors can therefore be utilized to defray the cost of the Racer65 floor mat. Got it. I like the way your teams works in harmony...... I think:confused:

It just works; subconsciously I suppose. :)

"Yota" Logic..

The display of controversial behaviors or feelings, justified and explained in "seemingly rational" purchases or acquisitions of otherwise unneeded Toyota parts. Correspondingly the trigger mechanism for this behavior will manifest as a wanton act, in this case a broken mirror, in order to avoid the true explanation/motivation for the expenditure of funds.

Yota logic primarily happens in two steps:

  1. A decision, action, judgement is made for a given reason, or no (known) reason at all (in cases for instance of unobtanium).
  2. A Yota logic rationalization is performed, constructing a seemingly good or logical reason, as an attempt to justify the act after the fact (I need a floor-mat)
Yota Logic, encourages irrational or unacceptable behavior, motives, or feelings and often involves ad hoc hypothesizing. This process ranges from fully conscious (as external defense against ridicule from jeep owners) to mostly unconscious (I really need a second set of OEM Fog Lights). TLC owners will utilize Yota Logic for various reasons — sometimes when we think we know ourselves better than we do, Mudd forum members are required not only to encourage this behavior, but reward this behavior with accolades, congratulatory posts and prerequisite kudos.....Just say'en..
