    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    If it's low but not empty it won't hurt anything too much, just don't overcharge.

    I think something ECU/PCM related has a loose connection. I hit a bump HARD while going about 70 with the taco on the trailer and it cut out for a second, gave me christmas lights, then ran fine. Today it kept stalling and giving christmas lights before coming back. No codes. Going on vacation, no time to worry about this dumb bitch of a truck

    The mechanical problems I expected have not existed. The electrical problems have been a bitch

    Careful out there guys!

    So I just got back from a +5 hour drive, went up to Mendocino to camp.

    I'm literally 10 minutes from my house and on the opposing lane, this lady is speeding and swerving in and out of my lane; damn near hit me!

    Well shit you not, within feet of me, she ended up overcorrecting and swerved into the ditch (small one on each side of the road).

    She hit hard, and somehow ended up back on the road, on my lane, upside down.

    I ran up to the scene to check to see if she's ok, as did a few others. Had someone call 911 while I checked on the female driver, who's clearly drunk.

    Only minor cuts but I ensured that no one move her in the event of any spinal injuries.

    Since others came to us, I made sure one person tended to her, look over her without moving her to ensure she's not bleeding from any one place, and proceeded to direct traffic.

    Lasted a good 10 minutes until firetrucks and ambulance arrived.

    I lost my bestfriend, and fellow marine that I served with to a drunk driver. People are doing it everywhere and today I was lucky to avoid getting hit, and the driver in this case from losing her life.

    Again, she made it with her life, and I hope she gets locked away for good to reflect on what could've been.


    (No I didn't take pictures of the actual victim, too busy tending to what was important. First picture is the accident unfolding, the rest is after medical care arrived).

    sounds like you did a great thing man. Glad you're OK.

    wow crazy stuff, glad you were able to help out. I called in a guy that was swerving on the freeway last week at around 3pm middle of the day. Thought maybe he was just distracted but when I pulled up next to him he looked like he could barely keep his eyes open, was clearly fucked up on something. Called the police with his plate # and description, no idea if they got him or not but I hope they did. Such a stupid and careless thing to do that could easily ruin the rest of your life.

    The worst part is knowing that it's irrational and that I'm just cranky and holding on to the worst possible case but here I am
