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

Yup, all I drove till I got my current taco in 2012 which was my first automatic. Getting my CDL now so I'll get to drive the fun stuff soon.

 

I've got a friend Aspergers who's got an '88 Pete 379 sleeper...

Here's a picture of me at the wheel of the aforementioned '88 Pete, back in July 2013, before I could drive stick...

 

I’m like a half introvert with ADHD. Does that account for anything?

 

I dunno what I am, born in 95. But I can drive stick and prefer it.

 

Sure!

Here she is! 25 years old at the time and about 1.5 million miles young!

 

Not really an introvert anymore, college worked that outta me but I do have ADD but long ago learned to work around it to avoid the meds, shit made me horrible efficient but emotionally useless.

 

Sweet...

 

The engine was rebuilt at some point, and the truck had been sitting for a while at the time the pictures were taken (July 2013), but the truck started right up and the A/C was blowing cold!

 

My dad made me learn in a stick shift aveo before I could learn to drive his auto truck

 

Well that's an Aveo...

 

Yep

After 60k on the fj soft clutch and test driving two different manual Tacoma’s I couldn’t deal with the sloppy clutch.

First auto vehicle: 13 Tacoma dub cab short bed.

I still randomly try to push a clutch pedal when starting it and randomly when I’m driving.

 

3 on the tree?

 

Yep, and drives like shit.

 

I always loved driving those 3 speeds like that.

 

Born in '84, learned to drive stick when I was 17 and bought a 5.0 Mustang . Only drove manuals until I bought my Tacoma last year - couldn't get a manual ACLB in the states. It is the only thing about my Taco that makes me sad.

 

I detail cars at a dealership, and I work next to the dealer's body shop. You never know what will turn up in the tow yard...

It's a hacked up and thoroughly totaled Land Rover!

 

Nothing like driving a stick. I learned when I was 20. Bought a stick on a Saturday and had to use it to commute on Monday so I had to learn on the fly! Good thing it was a 89 Accord haha
