    Good morning...

    So I posted pictures of the back of my truck on Facebook page (without the license plate showing) to show off my magnet collection. Some crazy Karen recognized my truck because of the magnets, and started publicly going off on me because apparently I inadvertently cut her off on Route 611 the other day; She even admitted to flipping me off (which I didn’t see because, hey, I don’t even remember cutting her off) and then had the audacity to accuse me of road rage. I promptly put her in her place and she actually apologized, citing the fact that she was waiting for the results of a COVID test to come back as the reason she was so amped up...

    o_O :crazy:

    I post pictures of my truck publicly all the time and that’s the first time that’s ever happened!

    It's been so long since I washed my truck, really need to do a full detail on it but just haven't had the time.

    I drove 17 years before I had a daily driver with good AC. My 2nd car technically had it but it didn't really function well so I never used it.

    Yeah it honestly would look better dirty, if you shined it all up then the scratches would stand out.

    There's a lot of creature comforts I'm willing to live without in a vehicle, but A/C is not one of them!

    Guess I was just used to it back then. Still don't have good cold air in the Mustang but it's not my daily driver so it's not really a big deal.

    Its most likely just delayed due to covid. Like Red Dead Redemption 2 online there hasn't been any decent updates in 6 months.

    If and when the tranny in my Tacoma goes, should I convert to stick shift? Yay or nay?

    It would probably be less expensive and hassle just getting a different truck that is already a Manual.

    One big thing is that I’m pretty sure Toyota has a reason for using pull-and-turn parking brake in the 2nd Gen instead of the foot pedal; Don’t want to go for the clutch and step on the parking brake on the highway at 65+ MPH!

    On the 3rd Gen they went from the pull out type to between the seats, thank God it's not the goofy electronic type.
