Proud new 2020 ORD Cement MT owner

I haven't had a new vehicle since 2009, so I'm learning all sorts of things about touch screens and lane departures and whatever else I don't know yet.

Picked it up yesterday and didn't get a chance to play with it because I had an all-day pork butt smoke that I had to attend to.

Hi.

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Nice truck, wrong transmission for a truck.

Cement is the best color tho.

 

Thanks!

I'm sorry you can't drive a manual. You're in my thoughts.

I'm color blind, so I could be wrong, but is your picture cement? Hard to tell.

 

New member already has an attitude. BRB while I puke

and no my truck is purple actually

 

lol
I'm not _that_ color blind.

 

Welcome to TW

 

Welcome aboard new member

 

Thanks for the hearty welcomes! I'm sure I'll be spending lots of time here trying to figure things out.

 

Be sure to check out your regional forum!

 

Welcome!

 

Not really, manual has alot of advantages over auto for off road.

stalling at the top of the hill or going over a rock you underestimated is my favorite one.

 

There are pro's and con's to both dude, a competent manual driver would probably not stall at the top of a hill/crawling and could likely recover just fine, there's a reason you see tons of jeeps and older toyotas crawling / off roading without slush boxes. Just calling you out on your BS initial statement.

 

Bad day at work? Can’t understand some slight hazing?

I like to give the manual guys shit because they are so passionate about the transmission as if it defines their personality. No hate whatsoever.

Cool your tits, pal.

Edit: I also just realized you used jalopnik to back your point as if they are a credible source. Holy moly I just pooped laughing.

 

Plenty cool, just kind of hard to gauge you know on an internet forum your comment being sarcastic or "hazing" especially on a new member post thread, way to introduce yourself and represent the community...

Never said its was credible, just calling you out for your comment, that clearly was hard to decipher as joking based on OPs response, but if so cool beans too.

 

Figured a little hazing was a good initiation to tacomaworld. Apparently I must be on the wrong side of the site since nobody here participates in friendly roasting sessions

@RobotCaleb its a nice truck buddy! Hopefully I didn’t offend you or give you the wrong idea of who we are on TW (spoiler: we are all kind of retarded)

 

Two words: clutch cancel.

@RobotCaleb , this is a fairly accurate representative sample of the buffoonery you have to look forward to on TacomaWorld. Welcome to the circus, bud!

What do you do in the AF?
