New England B.S. Thread

Got banned for posting a picture of a no-longer political figure in a non-political context. Picture had no words at all. Literally a guy in front of a tv image feedback loop. @jberry813 are people really that sensitive around here?

 

It's been 1 year since I've had the Taco. I still find myself occasionally trying to depress the imaginary clutch on the 4Runner.

 

Which guy?? What’s the picture???

tee hee

 

Don't worry Jason, I'll do it for you.

 

the 4runner groups are a weird place

 

100% totally safe. What could go wrong?

 

Try the Ford groups...

 

i see one post a day about "can i drive in 4wd all the time?" "toyota sucks, brand new truck ruined after 4,000 miles in 4wd" "my car makes weird noises on dry pavement in 4wd"

 

I didn't know so many people were clueless about how 4wd works before I started joining truck forums. Then again, these days, changing a tire is out of many people's ability.

 

Easy now, might get someone all fired up, every one can change a tire these days. Right there is an app for that, right?

 

They don't have departure angles. They have departure inches.

 

I've ALWAYS had a manual, until almost 7 years ago.... I STILL occasionally reach for the stick, and when BSing with someone(somewhat distracted), or a "panic" maneuver, I still go for the clutch...

I will blame part of this on Toyota Sales...
They tried to tell me, I in 4wd, it was "auto" kinda like Chevy's system.. better than AWD...

I asked if he was sure...
Yep, 4Runners too....

 

Are you kidding, most people can't even keep it between the yellow and white, it'd be terrifying to watch most people even attempt to change their oil or a light bulb, let alone a tire.

Sadly, they're actually making a lot of vehicles without spares now!

 

Tonight at 7 lol. But maybe we should do a TW kart night

 

Your first sentence is probably the reason for the second..

 

I will say this, in all the vehicles i’ve owned, i’ve never put the spare on. I’ve pulled out the plug kit and used the 12v compressor to refill a tire but never the spare (guess i’d say i’m Fortunate but wouldn’t want a vehicle without one)

 

Had some buyers back out on my gen4 G27 so it’s still available if anyone’s interested

 

Actually, it is not.
Main reason is space, and weight savings, better mpgs, and more cubic feet of passenger/cargo space.
The fact that is saves on costs, is a bonus..
As was mentioned, most never even use them. Could also argue it saves resources.....

Damnit.....

PM coming....

 

On another note....
Trying to find a manual DC TRD OR is proving to be a fking pain.....

All I keep hearing is, we can order one(from another dealer), but, you have go commit to buy.......

Want to do a decent test drive... overnight....

On another note, I caved and bought the OVTune stuff(dragging my enclosed trailer through the hills today convinced me)... maybe that will help this thing feel like it should.... I know Tiff will be happy to still be able to drive it....

Eh... maybe I should just get a flogging car... 350z, etc to satisfy me urge to shift my own gears...

 

Come up and drive mine.
