    When I first got my Tacoma my friend revealed to me that it could turn into a Transformer.

    I was like, "No waaaayyyy..."

    Then I woke up that night to my truck driving away from my house so I hopped on my sisters pink bike and chased it to a construction site and witnessed it turning into a mothafuckin' robot!

    The next day my friend was like, "I told you so."

    And I was like:

    I got mine used from the dealer last year. It was only 2 months ago I realized the passenger seat could fold down. I always wondered how a cup would stay in those cup holders :p

    Maybe toyota knows most smokers are inconsiderate and just throw their butts out the window? Or for resale value. If you have an ashtray full of cigarette butts the odor will be abosrbed by the interior, if you force smokers to throw their butts out the odor will be less in all vehicles and sell for more.

    My vehicles have all been very close to the GPS speed, the speed shown on those radar signs, etc.

    Motorcycles all have a 10% or so (high) speedometer error, unless you use a device like speedo healer, so the comment about cycles is correct.

    I read once that because aftermarket tires are more likely to differ substantially in height for motorcycles, that the error is baked in so the speedometer is never likely to read much less than the true speed. (they'd rather you were going 63 when it read 70, than you were going 77 when it read 70).

    There is an accessory ashcup thing that goes in the cupholder, which is disgusting to me, but they do sell it.

    Probably the same reason they don't give you floormats... $$
