    Well, this was no fun. I'll have to try harder next time. At Tim Hortons in Hinton, AB. Next wifi will likely be in Whitehorse, YT. So, hope everyone had a good Friday.

    You gotta stick your arms out the windows and flap really hard. Adds 3-5 mpg easily.

    No. Play Friday by Rebecca Black on repeat. It is a cheat code to unlock hybrid mode in a Tacoma.

    its actually a very eeblowod technology. A lot of effort was put into it during wartime and by FEMA for use in emergencies. Apparently burns cleaner than gasoline, which amazes me:

    Fold the mirrors back.
