By the way, as an aside: dropping prices seem to especially be affecting "gas guzzlers" like big SUVs (Land Cruisers, modded Jeeps, etc). No real surprise given gas prices, but worth a mention: your 100-Series probably isn't worth what it was in August 2021.

popped up as one of the possibilities. And since "Land Cruiser" is in the tweet, I figure that's it.

Must prepare for the big data release from the fascists at the BLS
