Tacoma from a teenager's POV

OTOH, if my wife knew what my firearms were worth, there'd be trouble.
Not to mention how much ammo I've shot downrange.

One old timer (uh-oh, I'm one too now) told me once:
"See this gun? I've shot a couple new cars outta this."

But I'm not poor, not rich either, mind you.



So give the kid a break guys, will ya?

lol easy now.. you know some of those platoon sergeants had it coming! Don’t even get me started on the CPTs, CSMs and BN CDRs.. life was better when you thought you knew what they were talking about.

MOS?

 

All about the roof rack, wouldn’t even have to hear the baby cry!

Gamer taco? No... just no

 

Those sir.. are perdy!

 

$900 for my 1973 Gremlin! A little pricey, but was a sweet ride after I added new hubcaps and FM!

 

She already knows and helps locate the sales!

14 combat loads boxed and on stripper clips with extra speed loaders in each case, just enough on hand to make someone bypass us and head to the neighbors.

Just for further deterrence got a plate carrier.. even trained the wife in SRM. She has a matching set.

 

Lol, one of the platoon SGTs knew something or was sleeping with the PFC haha. I'm an 88N, Transportation Management Coordinator. How about you Top.

 

Damn this thread makes me feel old, and at 18, I was driving a 7 year old Acura Integra.

 

My automatic isn't slow. Learn to drive, kid.

 

Most likely slower than manual.

 

Damn, this thread did not disappoint. Thank you all!

Edit: OP, nice truck!

 

I was a 12B, combat engineer, retired three years ago. Man that PSG just threw his career away. See it in every unit and never fails to surprise me. Pretty sad when the new and younger soldiers are more mature. We had a CSM wearing a sapper tab down range he didn’t earn. First time I seen a CSM kicked out of the Army from Iraq, totally nuts!

 

I bet you are old! We all are! lol

 

Doubtful there's any noticeable difference.

 

Id wager that its slower than auto, as it comes down to how good the person is at shifting and with the clutch lol

The manual Tacoma V-6 continued to bolster its case at the test track, where it muscled its way to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, 0.8-second quicker than the automatic version. The manual’s accelerative advantage fades off the line, as evidenced by the automatic Tacoma’s higher trap speed—but with a slightly slower time—through the quarter-mile.

 

Like I said, nothing noticeable.

 

Well by God, I did it. I read all 762 posts. Of course, I need to piss like a race horse after I post this. But I learned a lot. I think I'm only down to two things left in life that I hadn't learned. First, was there a shooter on the grassy knoll? Those of you 25ish or younger will have to google that to understand. Second, which came first, the chicken or the egg? To the OP, congrats on a fine ride. I'll certainly wave if we cross paths. But I almost wonder if I should petition that you never be allowed to start a thread ever again. I mean my God!!! I can't do another one of these.

 

Congrats! welcome to TW!
