    *captain rain on the parade enters* Nova (the astrological phenomenon) is also a word employed in the Spanish language, and is no more easily confused with "no va" than English speakers are with "therapist" vs. "the rapist." I'm sure still a good source of jokes in Spanish-speaking areas, it's just not the "Novas didn't sell well in Spanish-speaking areas bc of the name" wive's tale you might have heard.

    On the Brotherhood Raceway page is a photo of my Nova. It most definitely went.

    Then got totaled by a Galaxy 500 while sitting at a stoplight.

    In high school (1983) I had a 74' Pontiac Ventura that same color and with very similar wheels (no traction bars, though). I sold me '69 Chevelle 4 dr to buy the Ventura.

    I wish I had still had both of them now.

    Hello to you too!

    My AOR is mostly on the East Coast but there have been a few times I've left from Coronado NAS when I have to catch a hop on that side.

    I just saw a post made by someone that put "dauntless tailgate assist" on a Taco. I don't know the circumstances, and maybe the guy is disabled or something, but tailgate shocks just seem kind of like spending money to impress rather than for any kind of necessary function.

    This one isn't necessarily "useless" but I am curious if anyone has installed tiny wipers for the headlights onto their Taco.

    Man, after reading all this I think I’m going to get all these to just troll people. Just bought OR on Saturday, didn’t realize there are so many haters...

    So far I’ll need:
    - pro grill
    - raptor lights
    - hood struts
    - under the hood lights
    :popcorn:

    It seems to me those last two are anything but "useless."

    To be fair, the search function on here isn't the best or most user friendly for newer people. Not to mention I can't really blame people who don't want to read through 574 pages of information to hopefully find the answer they wanted.

    I agree but, always a good place to start

    I’ve been reading a lot for last couple weeks. Search is good most of the times. I think I did end up using google and having it give me results from TW couple times. They have a bit more advanced ML suggestions than search query matching.

    The Google part at the bottom is definitely better. The only times I really seem to have much success with the other search function is when I need to find something posted by a specific user or if I need to find something within that specific thread. Any other time seems to give results completely out of left field.
