    Last spring, I sold my 2007 6 speed manual and bought a 2010 auto - I really miss my manual now, and it was a daily driver. I thought I would like an auto trans (my first one since I was a teenager) but it is just boring to drive and it drives me nuts listening to the auto shifting but not always being in the correct gear.

    I have been keeping an eye on the listings to see if another manual pops up.

    What the hell ? That boomers Tacoma comes with leather seats ???? Dudes, this is great news. All that shit the kid spills back there (and let’s be honest , me too with coffee, burgers, baked beans, melted chap stick oil , beer... ) can just be wiped right up . My cloth seats have def seen better days. And before someone says “seat covers” , get real , I’m not trying to look like an Uber driver with that gaudy bull shit.


    But yeah true , manuals blow ...

    I still haven't learned how to drive manual after 30 years of driving. If my passengers don't like it, they can walk. If this youtube flake doesn't like it then sell it and go enjoy some other attention whore hobby!

    I need clicks, my ad rev is drying up oh here's my idea.

    Why buying a manual transmission Tacoma was a bad idea.

    Wait I better turn off the likes and dislikes.

    Shit this just went viral on TW.

    I'll have enough money for a case of beer by next week.

    Rinse, repeat, but the stakes become higher for the next video I need to brainstorm how to chase those clicks once again.

    Wait Sandra in Accounting, i'll loan her my Tacoma for the weekend for her gardening project. I'll load the fucker up with Go Pros to catch all the action shots including her leg operating the clutch pedal. This will bring out the thirsty dudes and i'll make sure she wears tight fittin jean short overalls and impractical shoes, if you were thinking Crocs you'd be right. We are in the Post Malone era and they're cool.

    There will be plenty of action shots of her loading potting soil and bare root roses. I'll have to get the shots right of her seductively planting and the Tacoma in the background. The first ten minutes will be of her stalling it out, but in order to take the edge off i'll give her a Xanax or three so she remains cute and bubbly. There will be plenty of b-roll like when Josh is trying to chat her up at the garden centre because Tacoma.

    Sandra looks like a Anna Kendrick so the booty shots will be disappointing as fuq

    The clutch will be smoked by Sunday afternoon, but just think of the ad rev. I live for the ad rev. I just hope no one mentions Coronavirus in the video because i'd hate for it to be demonetized. Stay tuned next week we present Rachel's trip to Petco, Is the Tacoma the perfect truck for dog moms? There will be dog hair, dog parks, drool on windows and seductive shots of her wearing clothes dog moms wouldn't be wearing at Petco or the Dog park.

    Rachel looks like a younger Jenane Garafolo

    I been driving manual for about the past 20 years with a lot of it in Boston traffic. Never bothered me once. My 3rd gen shifts smooth as silk for me. The only clunk or clanking noise I hear is when I am at a stop and put the taco in first, reverse, or when I shake the stick side to side while in neutral. My father has 2010 SR5 auto and it drives great. In the end, just get what you want. YOLO < (I think I did this right). I hope you all enjoy your tacos the way you wanted them.20200126_125110.jpg

    My only bitch is I wish they'd geared 1st & second just a little closer together, on my 4cly/5spd. Damn thing'd be about perfect then! Too many years with an M-21 Muncie will do that to ya...:burnrubber:

    Only made it to 3-4 minutes of that dude's vid. Irrelevant soccer mom jibberish...
