Colorado B.S. Thread

I would probably trade my truck in tomorrow if it were a 2.5ish liter 4cyl direct injected turbo making over 300hp. The engine in our Optima is a 2.0L GDI 4cyl turbo making 274hp and that engine is incredible. We get about 30mpg mixed driving it like assholes. We reset the mpg counter once and took a trip to Lincoln NE and over the course of the trip there, three days driving around town and back we averaged 37.5mpg. I absolutely love that engine and if we could get something slightly larger making slightly more power in a Tacoma I'd do it in a heartbeat. Not to mention tweaking turbo charged applications to make more power is SO friggin' easy.

 

Yeah I quite honestly don't care if it's a diesel or a turbo gasser. Just give me something with factory forced induction. Loved the B7 in my Audi and I didn't even tune it for more power.

 

Interior my guess is they took away auto down/up for the drivers window... Still makes me laugh that the 2nd gens only have the drivers side. My 2000 runner has both sides. Let's see they prolly went with a cheaper plastic interior like every other auto maker is doing annnnnddddd you get to keep the same 6cyl is my guess.

lmao yes they do!

Case and point

 

I had a few tubo charged Audi's and I traded a 2008 2.0T in on our 2011 Kia Optima and I can tell you that I'm done spending the money on Audi's. This car made my 40k mile loaded A4 feel like a 1990's Honda by comparison. The fit, finish and materials were noticeably better. I also had a GIAC chip in my A4 and my bone stock Optima was noticeably faster and got about twice the mpg's. I realize that's it's not apples to apples w/AWD v FWD but other than not being able to drive like an asshole in the snow the pros far outweigh the cons between the two vehicles. If I can get something akin to that in a Tacoma I'd be stoked. Otherwise, I'm content to keep my truck until the wheels fall off. Then, I'll replace the wheel bearings and keep on truckin'!

 

I had a 2005.5 2.0T quattro 6spd and it was nice but I got it for half price from family for basically what I sold my crappy low-mileage 2005 Chevy Malibu for. After driving my Dad's new 2013 or 2014 2.0 A4 I'm not as impressed with the new ones.

 

Sweet! Now I will save my food waste just so I can go back to 1985.

Blahhh!!! I don't like chrome shit. Bout the shiniest I can handle is Billet Aluminum.

Good lord.

Looks like my drunk great Aunt trying to give me a kiss at a family party.

 

Actually in my line of work this is mostly a number sign. #

Still not a hashtag you damn hipsters.

 

price wars. Guy across the street at $1.59.

Man, I never thought I'd say this but that makes me wish I lived in Laporte.

 

That looks like Riverside to me...

 

No, you don't. Trust me.

Yep, Riverside and Mulberry. If I could have shoehorned the van in there, I would have. I might be back in the early morning.

 

Gas and food could be free and I'd never say that.

 

It's all the same.

 

Hi everyone, been a long bit since I checked in. Been busy with life etc. Just thought I'd pop by and say hi!
