Alabama thread!

Made a trip to Atlanta and back today

 

I made a trip from and back to work

 

Sup Phil!

 

Yes, that truck has seen a lot of action throughout its lifetime! It's a testament to Toyota quality!

 

Just hanging out at work. Might buy the truck something to make me feel better about it

 

I have a true appreciation for the standard tranny. My 2000 Taco is a 5-speed by choice because I also wanted a 4 cylinder for lower maintenance.

Having said that, I've driven an Audi R8-plus (dual clutch 7 speed auto) and it was a beast. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds.


I owned a 2000 Camaro SS (auto) for a few years and slowly turn it from a running 13.6 in the 1/4 mile into 12.0 in the 1/4 mile. Biggest improvement was the Yank SS3600 stall converter. Fun car and I miss it.

 

I didn't realize that either, I thought it was only these young punks. I'm only 9 years off of being one(1972). Haha, hmmm... feeling younger already.

 

I give that up took too much of my time

 

We drove through every bit of that this evening. Nearly 3 hours of it.... but did make it home. Glad to be home.

 

It rained on me most of the day, made it hard to see while on the road

 

Sup Phil, made it home from TX. Drove From Shreveport today.

 

Agreed. I had to slow down from 85 to 60 in places. Had a Impala LTZ as a rental(super nice comfy car btw).

 

Nice haul there

 

I have a 99 Trans Am and the autos love converters but my 6 speed is way more fun to drive.

No doubt about that. I have been driving a manual for 30 years but came across a super deal on the old 2000 SS auto I couldn't pass up. Car was always quick but the stall turned it into whole other car(also did headers, full exhaust, LS6 intake, tune). Drag radials were mandatory. Calculated 0-60 was 3.6 seconds(from my track times). Fun times. I aspire to get a vette once we pay our house off.

 

that's awesome, only fast cars I've been in was viper v10.

one of the hardest launching cars though was an EVOXMR with dual clutch. Hold brake rev up to 5500 rpms and release. You have to time those dual clutches though, go to high they release for safety and free rev.

 

Hey Phil, hows the graveyard shift treating you?

The Viper is an amazing car too. Some of them are pretty darn close in speed to the R8 plus. I don't know much about the EVO or WRX.
