    Slush box. But only because it was a commuter car and I spent 3hrs in rush hour traffick everyday (during time of ownership). I hear the manuals are actually really fun.

    The brakes on that thing were like stepping in a bowl of oatmeal. Never got used to it.

    Yeah I have a 6speed 911 and before that a JCW Mini with the 6. I’m terrible at heel toe though lol the new 911s blip the throttle for you to rev match. Sounds incredible when it happens

    I’m not sure how to describe the brakes. They just keep going in deeper and deeper and the car eventually starts squatting down. They aren’t really responsive feeling in the pedals.

    I couldn't agree more! But up here we need all the help we can get!

    Yeah, I wish today was the start of spring though. I'm far too Cajun to live in MA! It's early crawfish season and all I get is snow.

    Hello everyone, new taco owner here! Bought my new used extended cab last week. It’s a 2014 base mode 4x4. Absolutely love this truck. Planning on doing a small lift nothing too crazy. Picked up some used sr5 rims for 60 bucks on CL that I’m getting powder coated in black and I want some more aggressive looking tires. I completed my first mod today, my pup will sure appreciate it. Have a great day, and I love looking at DIY and builds on this forum.
