    I fucking love mat. I am also an ex software engineer and have been on his position. It pays huge to be supportive and without expectations and gives him room to get us the best he can.

    We should rename this thread to "@OVTune's Living Room -- Beers Welcome, Pants Optional, Clutch Pedal Required"

    It is amazing how much a 3mb file can affect a vehicle these days, including shift feel on MTs.

    As much as some folks pine for the carburetor days, I'm living in the memory of multi-port EFI days before electronic throttles. Power, simplicity, direct action, and minimal nannies.

    Sounds like you need to get some dirt under those tires and put the skinny pedal down :burnrubber:

    Pfft! I wish I was smart enough to grab a 1st Gen in the day. That 85 with the SA would have been genius also.

    It took a looong while, but I finally learned.

    Typical 1 day response. And 3-5 business day response during busy times.

    Did I read something incorrectly?

    Or do you just want to be a jerk?

    Within a couple posts of what you quoted, that person said they were waiting longer than a few days and I gave that reply In. This. Thread.

    If you can't read and / or selectively follow replies, then you're on your own.

    All those CR reviews seem consistent with the plethora of online reviews for all vehicles in that image. It’s also consistent with the 100s of review and complaint posts made here about the Tacoma.

    It seems like consumer reports is actually very reflective of reality based on that image.
