    I actually wrote it. It’s an art piece for my creative writing class. Seems like it’s been a success.

I still remember the time I tired to race a buddy’s 5.0 mustang and get This HE BEAT ME?!!!! Like wow!! That’s when I knew the 2018 engine was a mega let down!! Had to go! :annoyed:

    It appears that Michael Derosa was given a writing task where he was immensely unable to get the job done. Michael Derosa should be avoided as his work ethic is immensely faulty.

    Actually I think it’s pretty ingenious after reading it again. I don’t think this was written by a human at all. There are some amazing algorithms now to throw together click bait like this and this may very well have been auto generated.

    Working on it ...
    OK I’ve got to throw the BS flag in on this one too. I’m thinking the writer probably works for Honda or Ford is trying to prop them up or he is in the market for 2018, and trying to drive the price down. Either way it’s crap.

    I have had four (4) of these bad are boys - With my current 2019 being my fourth. When it came time to replace by 2002 Gen 2 Tacoma, to be honest I didn’t look at another truck I knew I was getting another Tacoma. The things are a beast.
