    I gotta say my tacoma's suspension really impressed me today. I live in southern cali, and if you live here, you know there are jacka$$es all over the road. a car pulled out of a mcdonalds driveway as i was driving towards him. he saw me but that f'er still pulled forward. I had to swerve in an instant. i honestly thought, damn my new tacoma is gonna crash right into him and i've only had it for a month. But when i swerved, my tacoma was like a sports car. it was like driving my old dropped honda accord. I gotta say (IMO) the tacoma definitely handles well. The reaction time was smooth. I just had to mention it and give props (do people still use that term?) to the tacoma.
    Not to mention a lot of cali's don't have f'n insurance so if i did hit him, i would of been screwed even with full coverage on mine.

    I don't think that LSD had anything to do with it this time. You'll only see it come into action when your wheels are spinning to accelerate.
