    Yep exactly my thoughts.

    Young generation is so spoiled nowadays. Tacoma has more then enough power for normal everyday driving.

    If it’s “too slow” or “gutless” for some folks then it’s not the Tacomas fault. Set your expectations right and learn how to drive a vehicle.

    I see 3G Tacomas on every corner here. We are in the mountains up here and folks use their trucks as trucks.

    People must be delusional driving these underpowered trucks through the mountain passes.:rolleyes:

    I don’t know how there’s anybody left living there because I heard you get killed the minute you try to merge with traffic in the mountains.

    Well. Men used to be men and not complain about every single little thing.

    Nowadays so many folks focus on comfort and luxury too much, especially in NA and it shows. That makes humans weaker and that’s a fact. Folks are also getting impatient and their driving shows that. Hence wanting to accelerate 0-60 in 3 secs or it’s not good enough for them.

    So many dudes are really soft nowdays. That’s why I couldn’t stand living in big metropolitan city anymore. Too many skinny Jean bun wearing hipsters.

    New generation of “men” is doomed.

    I wanna evolve into the ultimate zoomer with the slim fit hoodie, tapering ankle pants, and on cloud or Hoka shoes. In various shades of gray.

    80% of your body must be covered with tattoos too. One of the requirements by the way.

    You are welcome.

    Most parents always want their children to have it better than what they had, so each generation gets it a little easier than the last. Know my dad and grandfathers were a hell of a lot tougher than I am.

    Machines are supposed to make our lives easier and more comfortable, guessing it will get to the point we humans won’t have to do much of anything.

    If I have to merge with traffic in the mountains, I am certainly on the wrong mountain road… :D

    Hey, so what is going on with your avatar pic, is that like a live action Mario Bros. or something? Didn’t you used to have some sort of Thai road sign on there before?

    Yes they do. But humans weren’t designed for an “easy” life. So all this luxury and comfort BS just weakens us.

    I’m starting to notice people are complaining about the most minor things and not just on TW.

    Our DNA since hunter gatherer times haven’t changed but the world has changed drastically.

    Anyway, I’ll shut up now.:)
