Seriously, the battery that my boss drained in December 2016 is the same one that died today!

 

Wow, amazing that it made it as long as it did!

 

Ok big dog....didn’t know it meant so much to you.

 

My Tundy pics can be seen HERE and my T4R pics can be seen HERE. I have decided to turns this thread from only Tacomas to ALL Toyota trucks, including FJC, Land Cruiser, and Hilux/pickup!

 

You can post the pic of your TRD PRO now if you'd like...

 

Also, a riding mower has a bigger battery than a Honda Element!

 

#98 is good too

 

My Ex-GF just yesterday was looking to possibly buy an Element and asked what I thought of them.

 

Beautiful! Stick shift?!?!

 

I wish

 

They're GREAT vehicles. My uncle swears by them and has owned two. The owner of the bar where I work who's worth millions owns two Elements (an '09 and the '05 that needs a new battery)!

 

Do you have to get emissions testing in your part of Missouri?

 

Yes....in stl county.....south county

 

I think safety inspections are more important than emissions testing...

I HATE emissions testing!

 

Why?

 

A very passionate person you are

 

Because in Pennsylvania, where I live, emissions testing and safety inspections are not done by the state, but rather by state-licensed garages/mechanics. That's a total conflict of interest. I mean seriously, the very same people who profit from repairing vehicles are "inspecting" them?

Emissions testing is a crock of shit, at least for newer vehicles like my impeccably maintained 2010 Tacoma. Technology has gotten so great that vehicles do not pollute anywhere near as much as they used to. All it does is generate revenue for the state.

Emissions testing costs $40-$50 a year in Pennsylvania, a waste of my hard-earned money!

A cow produces more emissions than my Tacoma; don't even get me started on entire farms (and we have plenty of those around here).

Note that I said I was in favor of safety inspections. I think a car with nonfunctional headlights and worn out brakes is more dangerous than a car that pollutes a lot...

 

I don't like their appearance. Not to disrespect.
