    I try to take it easy. Gas aint cheap and I spent plenty on the tires so I try to keep them as long as possible. But once in a while if I'm in a hurry it has to be done.

    But for the most part I use the motorcycle for the racing rush.

    i surprized a 5.0 pretty good one day, he reved at me at a stop light. basically i beat him off the line and pushed the truck about as good as it can go, and he didnt take me seriously enuff and i almost beat him to the next light.

    Ive had mine a couple weeks, and I am already running the crap out of it, just like I do any vehicle.
    I push it hard through the corners, and open it up quite often. I didnt pay all this money for it, to putt around in it and not use it.
    It was doing alittle offroading the 3rd day I owned it.

    I used to drive it like a Ferarri when I was young and didn't have bills to pay. Now that I'm in college and poor the RPMs stay under 2K, which is getting me close to 20MPG city.

    toyottas are tough but remember the way you treat a vehicle is what it gonna do on a long enough timeline. running the shit out of a vehicle wears it sooner than later.
