PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

A lot of the nerdy dudes drove Subaru STI and WRX. I got drunk one night and there were three blue ones parked next to each other. I pissed in one of the open sun roofs I was told

 

Don’t like Subarus?

 

Now that I moved to Oregon I don’t lol. Nope I knew the owners were from the air wing barracks next barracks over and they use to park in our barracks lot(infantry barracks). Well Marine infantry hates everyone not in the infantry so I was sick of them parking in our lot. So I pissed in their sun roof

 

And you didn’t get courtmartialed or anything?

 

The Tacoma had only been out for a year when we moved back to California in 1996...

I remember one time in 1996 or 1997 I saw a white RC 4x4 with no bed parked in front of what I’m guessing was a body shop; This was either in Mountain View or San Jose (99% sure it was Mountain View), and I with one or both of my parents in the car...

This was no later than 1997, so it was an “original” 1st Gen with the more aggressive-looking front end (as opposed to the more muted front end of the 1998-2000 model); It could have been anywhere from a 1995 to 1997, and it was immaculate aside from the obviously missing bed!

My guess would be that the truck got rear-ended, the entire bed got destroyed or had to be removed to replace a specific part, and the truck was awaiting reassembly; Considering that Tacos in California tend to not suffer from frame rot, I would not be surprised if that particular one is still driving around if it stayed in California...

I don’t know if it was an SR5 model, but it was definitely a higher trim because it had chrome bumpers, a chrome grille, and alloy wheels; LX...?

 

Nah. Court martial is if you do something seriously fucked up. Non judicial punishment(NJP) is for low level stuff(in the Navy it’s called Captians mast). I got two of those both for assault and they were exactly 3 years and one week apart, so I qualified for a good conduct medal lol

 

My parents bought the Camry new in 1990 and paid like $16K for it; We had it for 8 years and it had like 80K miles on it when we sold it in 1998...

There was absolutely nothing wrong with it, but my dad didn’t want to pay for shipping back across the country (I was always sure the military paid for at least one family vehicle to be shipped, but my dad no...? @El Duderino, help me out here?). He sold it to a local civilian family in Mountain View who owned another early nineties Camry and swore by them, but he quickly regretted selling the car...

My mom took a mirror off backing out of the garage one time in 1991 or 1992 and I seem to remember my Uncle Jeff buffing out a long blue scuff at some point during the same time period, but that car was never in an accident during the time we owned it!

 

If one of those “assault” stories is the one I’m thinking of, then it sounds like the guy deserved it...

 

Yup the only pay for shipping one vehicle and I think 10k lbs in household goods. Hawai’i military bases you can score some awesome deals

 

Then why did my dad sell the Camry? I’d have thunk the Navy would have paid to ship the Camry from California to Virginia...?

 

Nope, one was an assault in infantry school. They other was when I forgot to close the curtains when I started to choke a jr Marine cause he said something he shouldn’t have while a higher up was walking by.

 

Sometimes it’s easier to get a new vehicle instead of waiting for your one vehicle to show up and you don’t have one for 30+ plus days and you have to rent one. Cost to rent a car will out spend what the car you’re shipping is worth.

 

The other one I told you about the marine “fell” off his front step

 

By the way, the car on the cover of the 1990 brochure is the exact car my mom had; The first car my parents bought together after getting married, the nicest car either of them had ever owned (at the time), and the very first car my mom owned that had A/C!

 

The story I was thinking of was where you had to pay some guy’s dental bill...

 

This is the car my mom had before the Camry, and her first new car ever; 1985 Ford Escort!

Stick shift and no A/C! Yes, the picture below is of the actual car my mom owned, taken sometime in 1988 or 1989, either right before or not long after I was born!

 

Civilian so I didn’t get in trouble with the military on that one. They wanted to see how that played out in civilian court first.

 

My aunt had a blue one

 

My mom had good credit, but the interest rate was so high that she ended up paying almost double the actual cost of the car!

 

Damn that’s terrible. My good friend in the Marine Corps had a 22% interest rate on a used car he bought.
