Here is a pic looking up. There are two different elevators up there

 

He's been creeping around. I was texting him Saturday.

 

Me, he's buying some of my shit!

That's a mighty fine looking shaft you got there

 

Great, he buys a FROD and now he is looking at guys "Shafts"...WTF ???

Mike, good luck with the new FORD and sorry BUT you did set yourself up....

3-4 more weeks and the Tacoma is southbound on a trailer......

You folks wanting Snow...go to Vermont or northern Maine....

 

Thanks for noticing

 

I guess I did kind of walk into that one!

 

MRI time! Woot woot!

 

I fall asleep every time.

Mike

 

I hate IT. I bought Lisa a new netbook for work with windows8 and my 2year old router isn't good enough so now I have to try and have Verizon send out an updated one. I guess I need wpa2 instead of wen? Ok rant over

 

Spring of 2007 i bought my 2005 TRD Sport AC with 32K miles on it for $18K cash. ( went to NJ to finally find a nice 6-sp). I know after 7 yrs of owning this i can get a really big chunk of that back. NO other truck on the market can even come close to the resale value of a Toyota. In my town my taxes were $600 when i got it, went as low as $250-now around $500 only because the state stopped giving towns money to lower the property taxes. You guys hear the new 2015 F-150's are gonna be all aluminum??? Frame and body panels!! And i think the Colorodo's are gonna offer a diesel in 2015

 

You and me both, scared the shit outta the techs more than once..

 

It sounded like dubstep. Pretty awesome

 

What time works for everyone on Sunday? It opens at 12 so I am thinking we meet at 12 in the Lowe's lot that way none of us get door dinged. That gives us bullshit time outside by trucks before heading in. That way you can be home for the game.

 

Sounds good to me. That place will be a mad house for the game.

 

Just got off the phone with Verizon. It turns out all their routers come default set to wep and if I access it I can change it to wpa2 and all the issues with windows 8 should be fixed. I will try when I get home

 

Not very hard to do. If you have never changed your routers username/password . By default it's admin / admin

Yeah its going to be 700lbs lighter. They're also using a turbocharged 2.7 liter ecoboost V6 that makes 320hp and 375ft. lbs of torque. And the base model will have the 3.7 liter V6 that makes 300hp and 280ft. lbs of torque.

 

I still really wonder about the longevity of those high output turbo-charged engines. Forcing that much power out of a small engine just doesn't seem like a good idea for the long haul. I suppose time will tell, the 3.5L TT seems to be holding up alright.

 

The guy on the phone said mine was different and it is supposed to be writen on the side of the router

 

So long as they have proper cooling they should be fine. My cobalt has 280 HP/320 ft-lb tq from the factory out of a 2.0L I4. I know a bunch of guys with over 100k hard miles on them doing track days and autocross with no problems besides wear items. That is with no aftermarket tuning though (ie HP tuners). Factory tunes are generally very safe with not much spark advance, safe PE tables, high spark retard, keeping AFR close to stoic etc...

If the tune is set up safe and not really pushing the engine they should last. Having a good cooling system is key to keeping a turbocharged engine from shitting the bed. If you've got an efficient cooling system it should be reliable.

But I guess it really depends on a lot of factors.
