    That's a $10,000 Toyota if I ever saw one.

    Saw a Prius today, 15 extra mirrors, some kind of rack hanging off the trunk with a rear facing white light bar, that was switched to the on position, crossbars on the roof, extra reflectors, and DOT tape all over the back. The Driver flys to a stop at the redlight, then proceeds to cut left in front of the left turning lane as their arrow turns green.

    They are good trucks. I prefer their center section and center console more than the Tacoma. The squirm from the back end I never got used to.

    It's front being lifted without correcting your panhard angle. Don't lift on the cheap and it's not a problem

    Keith makes a panhard correction kit. You probably got an adjustable panhard but that makes the problem more extreme it just centers the axle.

    yeah didn't do that. Didn't weld anything on.

    That said, doesn't matter at this point. I think he's probably going to sell it sooner than later to get something more gas mileage friendly and highway friendly.

    The black one I had was not lifted and still could feel it, although less pronounced. I think it's the shorter wheelbase too that makes it more noticeable to me.

    Oh, with a spoiler no less. I'll bet that helps a lot. :rolleyes:

    This reminds me of the '95 Corolla I had for a while. Consistent 40 mpg in town. Good timing. Plus it'll make your bosses feel sorry for you, thinking you need a raise.

    Haha, its easy to pity looking at it for sure. It's seriously a nimble little POS though, pretty fun in town. On the highway I feel inches from death but that's okay, for $800 I'll walk that line

    Functioning cup holders FTW.

    The whole thing has a squirm to it at the moment. My steering rack is shot so that's fun. But it had some junk Rough Country lift on it when I bought it and the Bilstein/OME's make it feel significantly better. A new rack, panhard correction, and some new bushings here and there are on the to-do list.

    probably. Driving an AMG to work and telling everyone about the 5 cars you own probably doesn't help lol



    jk obviously I have no clue

    Sold the LR yesterday. AMG and VW are on the market too. Hoping to get down to two by the end of the month.

    The irony is the the AMG screams expensive but it's cheaper than most trucks in the parking lot at work lol

    i drive my clapped out taco to work and tell them my pay sucks and that doesen't help either

    fuel prices going to be so high driving the cummins is going to be a god damn luxury. I go and get my klr 650 from storage in april tho so that will surely be my daily all summer at this rate.

    haha yeah i think it could have helped me. But inflation wiped out most of those gains...so...

    Wish it would quit snowing so I could get our 40mpg honda back on the road. Igor is sucking down the fuel on billings runs.

    People's reaction to gas prices is generally exaggerated to reality. Even if diesel goes from $4 to $6 a gallon, you're looking at what, $150 more a month? For those that cannot absorb those costs, that sucks. But I suspect a lot of people can find that in their budget. We still pay less than most of the world.
