Let my 14 Y.O. daughter drive the Tacoma

Autocross for pussys... get on the track and don't look back.

Autocross = warped brake rotors FTW.

 

Always good to hear a new generation learning to drive stick, i think one major reason no one buys stick is no one learns it anymore. A lot of people who learn on a stick will continue with a stick. My first car was a stick and every car but one has been since. Good work! Keep stick shifts alive in this world of automation!

 

The Camry motor was a bit more suited to her for now. She said it was not as "oopsy" as the 454 in my K3500. On that one she about swapped ends on the gravel when she pushed the go pedal a bit aggressively.
