    Yeah before I got into the LT tacos I made sure I kept my Slamry(lowered Camry) as my DD and just let the taco roll around and about once or twice a week. I'm a 2.4L so I still avg out 23mpg in the truck. I cant sell the taco. I put too much of my own time into it every week. Been lucky I can still keep the sport bike. It's nice in traffic when I want to get places. Plus it's fun to take the ladies out on a ride.

    Am I and mpj2 the only ones with a DD? I observed 2 years before I committed to jump into this hobby.

    Good Luck Matt. Its a tough market but there are definitely buyers out there on RDC. Just have some patience and buy a classified ad so it stays at the top of the listings.

    I am dropping off mine to its new owner in Phoenix, AZ on Tuesday. He is meeting me halfway from his home in Cali to pick it up.

    I bought this POS Subaru to be satisfy my motor sports addiction for a few years. I wont be in Cali until at least 2014 so my beast had to go. The Subaru has enough room for a car seat and a stroller for when my son rides with me so Im good to go. :D

    I was kidding. Its just a big change to go from my truck to that. I am really going to miss my truck. I have 4 yrs of blood, sweat, and tears in that thing. I want it gone so I dont have to think about it anymore.

    I wash it myself in the spring/summer, but i go to the automated one in the winter. It gets most of the crud off then I go over it when I get home with the quick detailer spray and some armor all to shine her up.

    damn Matt, that thing is nice. congrats on selling the truck. i dont have to sell at all, i'm kind of in the same boat you were in. just looking for something different and having my truck is pointless cause i never get to use it anyways...

    we'll see how it goes

    Is there any reason for all the wheel companies focusing on 17 inch rims. Walker Evans, robby gordon, the KMC enduro beadlock. Is it what the race trucks run?

    Its because most buggies and TTs and any race trucks in general Run 37s and normally they only come in a 17 also they run HUGE brakes so they need to clear them.

    Also crawling tires like 42s come in on 17s
