A Whole New World...

Hello!

I recently sold my heavily modded 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 and stock 2001 Mazda Miata for a 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road! I sold both of the Mazda's due to a move half-way across the country and just couldn't keep up with the maintenance or expense of moving them. I miss my babies dearly for the speed, manual transmission, and handling... but I'm excited to see what life off road can hold.

Cheers!

Howdy! Off road is more expensive

 

Welcome

 

OH JOY!! And I thought the world of speed was expensive.... hahaha

 

So, guess I'll be the one to ask... where's pics of the truck (and the cars!!) ??



Also welcome!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

This is Dan, fully bolted and tuned 2008.5 MazdaSpeed 3


Here is Ignacio, 2001 Mazda Miata... I originally bought him as a DD with hopes of swapping a 5.0 in him. Buuuuttt, that unfortunately never happened


And here is ____. Have not thought of a suitable name for him yet. 2017 Tacoma TRD Off-Road

 

Dan is the Man. Was. Burn in Hell, Dan.

 

Nooooo!!!1 I miss my babies!

...at least they went to good homes of two members of the MazdaSpeed club I was a part of back in Houston

 

Beautiful rides. Call me biased, but I like the taco best.

 

Your wallet, maybe. Dan? No. Now, an 80 Mazda GLC Sport 5 speed in silver named Ron wearing one of the first sets of Comp T/A's on the Planet was a gem. I'll have to try and post a pic of the little fella, one day

 

I'm in the same position as you, 400whp Fullbolt on E85 Evo X (SOLD)

Now I drive this:

Although I miss the handling/speed of the evo, I find I enjoy driving the truck a lot more. One day ill get back into a car but for now I love the truck
I have a thing for gray cars EDIT: Just noticed you have a thing for red

 

Had a 30r subby running on Corn and I miss it from time to time but definitely love my truck more. Not worrying about day to day shit( speed bunps, puddles,noisy fuel pump etc) is a plus. Got my truck MT so that helps. Enjoy! These trucks have tons of aftermarket support

 

I almost forgot how much of a struggle speed bumps/driveways were... I fly through all that stuff now in my truck haha. I was lowered and had a lip on my evo, people weren't too happy when I had to go 1mph up a driveway and block traffic haha

 

Ooohhh, the life of a "race car"... driving across town for e85, turning the radio off because you heard a new noise (or beacuase you're going under an underpass and wanna hear thta exhaust), the quick prayer you say each time you start it. But damn.... that grin you get when you punch it. There's a thing called the "Mazda grin", and those cars really do give you an ear to ear grin lol

I have yet to experience that in my truck (not to say I don't like it, I love it, but it's a different relationship haha) ... I probably just need to take him off road!

 

Awesome plate btw, that's great haha

Ya, I was going back and forth between the red and the grey but found the better "deal" in one in red. Not that it was much of a "deal" as it was more of a "fair" price considering how well this truck sells (especially in Texas, haha)

 

Once the mod bug hits, it's always there.

Welcome to TW.

 

Welcome to TW, the addiction is real. I used to have a whole Tacoma before this place, now I just have a Tacoma engine, trans and cab melted to a bunch of tubes

 

Welcome!
