PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

My dad got me hooked on Phil Spector when I was 16...

 

LOL, you know TW has an emoji for that, right...?

 

And ironically the 3.5L ecoboost outperforms the old school V8.

 

@LocoLocal

Did you know that in the final season of King of the Hill, Hank got a DUI on his riding mower?!?! Hank spent a night in jail, but Buck Strickland's high-priced lawyer got him off without losing his driver's license; he was banned from riding his mower for 6 months and had to speak to high school kids about the dangers of drunk driving...

 

Sounds like he was more interested in the "roar" over the power or economy though.

Spotted another "hoarder-mobile" in the parking of Home Cheapo today!

This Accord at least has valid inspection stickers unlike last week's Corolla, and it doesn't have garbage piled on the dashboard, but still...

 

Literally has room for the driver only!

Does your A/C work better when the truck is moving? That's now mine is...

 

2019 there going to all ecoboost... fleet fuel ecomomy and all... and the super duty is an entirely seperate model.

This... and I've never been a fan of forced induction.

There's no replacement for displacement.

 

I highly doubt they will cancel the 5,0 next year as they just made updates to it for 2018.

 

Not true

 

This is NOT a fart joke...

I literally almost stepped on a frog (technically a toad)!

I was walking out to the Tacoma to put the SD card in the dashcam, and I saw some movement on the sidewalk right as I stepped down, and initially thought it was a leaf. I then realized it was a toad and thought I'd killed it. Luckily, I only kicked the toad onto its back and didn't hurt it.

I then noticed another toad and I placed them on the hood of the Tacoma for a brief photo op...

 

Exactly...

 

Now I got to find that article I read... standby.

 

The Wawa on Main Street in Doylestown really pisses me off! For starters, the parking lot sucks...

And then when I handed over my lD (military ID, not driver's license) to buy smokes for coworkers, it seemed like the girl went out of her way to be obnoxious. On this particular day, it was sunny and hot, and I was wearing my sunglasses. The girl actually tried to look up under my sunglasses at my eyes (one girl actually made me take off my sunglasses) and I wasn't having it. I abruptly looked straight up, and she got the message and completed the transaction.

Lately, I've been handing the clerk my military privilege card because they can't scan it and they can't tell the difference between an ID card for someone who was actually in the military and their dependent.

About 2 or 3 years ago, I got into a huge argument with a Wawa clerk when I handed them my military ID instead of my Pennsylvania driver's license and they said they couldn't take it. I was livid, because this same card can get me onto airplanes, as well as onto any military base in the country, and they weren't accepting it for the purpose of buying cigarettes?

Thankfully, the Wawa people have stopped asking questions when I buy multiple brands of cigarettes, and some don't even card me at all!

And God help me, I asked my boss if she needs anything at Wawa since I'm stopping there in the way into work and she said "smokey treats"...

That girl I dated for all of a week has been friend-zoned, but she still likes every single one of my Facebook status updates. Starting to get annoying...

The issue with my door locks has manifested itself in the last several months...

Both doors will lock and unlock from the inside, and the passenger door will lock and unlock from the outside, with the key. The driver door, however, refuses to lock from the outside. The spare I got at Home Cheapo WILL lock the door.

I had this problem a while back (2016ish?) and swapped my factory key with my mom's, which solved the problem for maybe a year. I don't mind locking the door from the inside, and I always keep a spare key hidden on the truck in case I lock myself out. However, I am worried that the locking mechanism is going to fail completely and refuse to unlock from the outside as well. I have no idea if the problem lies with the key or the lock at this point, but it looks like it is probably the key, because this is the second Toyota key that has started doing this...

 

Does your truck have remote keyless entry? Most of my parents' vehicles purchased since 1990 have had power windows and locks but our first vehicle with remote keyless entry was a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder (the one that got repossessed from the second owner).

My truck, being a base model, does not have the two keys with remotes and a "valet" key, just three identical keys that perform the same function. I apparently wore out my key to the point that it started the truck and unlocked the doors, but wouldn't lock the doors. The only factory key we have left is my dad's...
