PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

Not a Very nice house. My house is average and my dad paid $130,000. It's enough for a decent house, a Taco, and a Lexus GX.

 

No, the Chrysler 300 came first, in 2005...

The Rolls-Royce, I mean BMW, Ghost made its debut in 2009!

 

@PennSilverTaco, what's your ideal house, and car setup?

 

A 3-bedroom brick ranch, my Tacoma, a Tundy TRD PRO, and an old Rolls-Royce Silver Spur!

 

I'd like a 4 bedroom house in a Dallas suburb, a Taco TRD Sport, and a Lexus SUV for the wife.

 

Me next taco will be a 2024 Tacoma TRD Sport. If the generations go by decades, it'll still be a 3rd gen, probably with a facelift.

 

Why would a company such as Rolls Royce want to replicate a such an ill reputed company like Chrysler?!

 

No not an automatic.

 

I don't think it was intentional...

But Rolls-Royce has been owned by BMW since the late 1990s!

 

Not available as a stick...

 

Ah the curtain is being pulled back! It's all a facade isn't it, Charlie? Toyota is the only genuine company left I suppose.

 

What about Honda and Chevy?

 

This makes me sad lol

 

Me too...

 

Did everyone's TW not want to load? Not a single device including my phone, laptop, or PS Vita want to load the TW website.

 

It probably got overloaded...

 

I briefly had the same problem just now...

Here's a fairly obscure SUV for you...

The Kia Borrego! It held the distinction of being Kia's first vehicle to be offered with a V8 engine (at least in North America). It featured body-on-frame construction, had a standard V6 engine, was available with a V8, and came in either RWD or 4WD. I
believe they made them from 2007 until 2009...?

One of the big magazines (I believe Car & Driver) said something along the lines of "it would have murdered the Ford Explorer in terms of sales figures if it had been released just a few years ago"...

Since production only lasted two or three years, I'd say that sales didn't meet expectations...

 

Mediocre vehicles like this are the reason Mitsubishi isn't doing so hot in the North American market...

I've discussed this incident before, but here it goes again...

There are two dumpsters on the property at the bar where I work, one for garbage and one for recycling. These dumpsters are only for the use of the bar and a select few individuals.

My boss (the general manager) is allowed to use these dumpster for her household garbage. Since she doesn't want the garbage stinking up her car, she has me haul the garbage from her house to the dumpster in my Taco while I'm on the clock.

One day, I tossed a couple of empty water bottles in the recycling dumpster and didn't think a thing about it. As an employee, I'm allowed to dispose of small items in these dumpsters.

Some woman in a minivan who I'd never seen before saw me this time and immediately starts bitching about how it's a private dumpster and what I'm doing is illegal. I tell her I'm an employee of the bar and expect that to be the end of it. It wasn't...

Ms. Minivan is like "Are you sure about that?" At this point I go into "angry name-dropping" mode. I say something like "Yes, I work here. 'So-and-so' is my boss, and also friends with 'Such-and-such,' who owns this property. Anymore questions?!?!"

Needless to say, that got Ms. Minivan off my ass...

The next time I saw the owner of the property, who I have in fact been friends with since 2010, I told her about "some bitch in a red Toyota Sienna who was hassling me about putting water bottles in the dumpster."

The owner took my side and confirmed to Ms. Minivan that the guy in the silver Toyota truck was exactly who he said he was. That was probably back in 2016 and I have not had a problem since then!
