    The new camaro does look like shit IMO..

    And Ford is taking a page out of BMW's playbook and creating a grille/light combo that is similar on almost all their vehicles. I think the new Mustang is the best looking of the newer muscle cars.

    The only thing I hate more than Chevy is a derpstang. Only see douchebag teens and women drive them.

    Thats better than Camaros and Challengers though. The only people who drive camaros and challengers are ghetto ass hood rats. At least where I'm at..

    Most of the new Challengers here are driven by older gentlemen who probably own original 70's Challengers.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    His voice recognition software problem was directly related to the ignition problem.

    That seems to be the same type of crowd i see driving the new Challengers. We don't have many "ghetto ass hood rats" here in Wyoming so i can't attest to that. I think Dodge did a good job of revamping the look of the older Challengers which is why it's my favorite out of the big 3.

    On TRD Off Roads there is no vacuum booster (this so A-Trac can brake a wheel effectively in 4Lo when you step on the throttle). Where does base brake boost come from if it isn't electric? I see the same system in foreign Toyota SUVs with turbodiesels, even when they don't have A-Trac:

    IMG_5902+prado+brake+pump_afc5d4b629af417504289fa6a5c300be8f0d3fbe.jpg

    The other alternative for turbocharged cars is to run a mechanical vacuum pump off the engine. This maintains system separation... as long as the vacuum pump isn't driven off the same belt as the PS pump.

    Yes, you are correct about that in Toyota, I had forgotten about that part. The main point I am trying to make is that the system used in GM, Ford, and Dodge in their HD trucks is that they have been a tried and true system. There is a SHIT ton of weight that you are trying to stop compared to what the Tacoma does. You can't rely on an electric vacuum pump, and adding a vacuum pump driven of the engine is not cost effective in the grand scheme of things. It has worked for years and years, and just now has an issue with the new 2015 truck models. Face it, every manufacturer has design defects. EVERY one. This small issue was found before the trucks really hit the show room in force. I am happy that they caught it early. I work on this stuff every day, and have for over 25 years. The power steering pump design is capable of CONTINUOUS brake boost as long as the engine is running. So no brake fade if you have to pump the brakes. Even a car with vacuum boost if you pump the brakes fast will loose some power boost.

    “Discovering and acting on this issue quickly is an example of the new norm for product safety at GM,” said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Safety.

    These cars have been out since 2010, recalled in 2014..."..acting on this issue quickly.." LOL

    Obama did not call GM it was George, he was the one that gave them the money not Obama and they would not give it back because he was unable to read the fine print.

    The money came for George, here is the deal he had no choice and it would have made no difference who was in office it's not the unions either it is 25% of the entire working force in this country that's right 1 in 4 people in this country earn their pay from the automotive industry ever one from the guy on the line putting the wheels on to the guy behind the counter at NAPA selling parts. It was a no brainer it had to be done you want to lay blame look no further than the banking industry and the bastards are still getting away with it.

    Don't forget frat guys and people who think they are badass driving automatics.

    Don't forget rich white people who have no image.

    But 25% of this country does not work for GM, ford, and chrysler. The auto industry bailout was a joke.

    Bailing out the banks? Unless you're going to say most people keep their money in vaults at their homes I think bailing out the banks was a smart move.

    Ever heard of Delphi? They are big suppliers to auto industry your Tacoma has lot of Delphi parts so does GM with out cars being made they have no workers because they have no one to sell to. Takes people to deliver the parts to the factories trains to haul the cars to market power companies to power the plants it is a big web and a huge industry way beyond GM they may not work for them but their job depend on them.
    Look at the interest rate lately how much is your money doing gaining interest in the bank? They are making money. 401K doing OK? Clue banks are buying foreclosures they are going to do it again. How’s your income close to what the bankers make with your money? They are the worlds blood suckers all ways have been.

    ^Delphi was part of GM, was spun off for a while, then went back into GM. Delphi parts in the Tacoma have been the cause of many peeves (chirping blower, burning blower resistor, etc.). I'm glad Toyota ditched them.

    I was an american dodge guy.

    I've had my Tacoma only 2 weeks. I'm already talking my wife in to a Toyota car. She has an 08 cobalt waiting on recall parts to arrive.

    I'll never go back.
