TTC ☆ OFFICIAL

Friday - 3 doctors appointments and over 3 hours at the truck pulling parts, then nearly 2 hours at CVS waiting for prescriptions, stopped by chipotle for dinner, got home finallyaround 1800, chilled, ate, then started packing, finished around 0030, crashed! Hard!

Saturday - up at 0530, out the door at 0730, 30 minutes later than planned, at the airport 2 hours before our flight. Not a morning person.



Arrived in Florida yesterday around 1300, and picked up the rental car.





Note to self - Think the next sedan we buy will have to be a convertible! It's a hoot!

Took our time, adjusted all the mirrors and seats, paired the phone, locked in directions on Waze, set up the tunes, and left the airport. About 30 minutes later I had to pull off the interstate and get air in one of the tires. WTF. Note to self - convertible will not be a Mustang.

The dive down was breeze. Literally. With a hurricane warning things were choppy in the bay.



But started to clear up the farther south we went.





Ultimately we arrived at the Casa around 1600 and I had to immediately tend to business.



Then we unpacked and went out for drinks and dinner. In that order.



Naturally I had to have the grouper Tacos!



Neat little place. Great food and peeps working there. It was a great end to a very long day.



Let's see what day two brings. More pics to come.

Oh, fuck whatever anyone says about Florida not being humid. They are full of shit.

 

Came home from long fun mtb ride to schwag box.........

 

Sounds fantastic, Rob!

Hope you're getting better.

 

The pirate juice is definitely helping Josh!

Pic from the crow's nest!

 

Argh, me matey. Glad you not be in da bilges.

 

Nope, keeping the glass half full Brother!

 

Keep em empty!


















Always have a spare on deck though.

 

It's lonely when you're the only!


I could not raise a signal out there today for anything. Nap taken, pictures getting edited.

 

Home from C&C! On the trip there and back I averaged 18.1 mpg. On previous trips it would be 15.7 mpg. Only difference is Snorkel, cold air intake, and flowmaster muffler with the exhaust re-route. Are 3rd gens so sensitive that those things would net 2 mpg? Wow!

 

Was great meeting everyone out at C&C, hopefully I’ll be able to make more of them.

 

Nice. That's pretty good, Ryan.

I wasn't expecting that much a difference! Surprising! I figured just a little more oomph when passing.

 

Just wait till the weather gets cold lol

 

Hate the cold but it does make the truck feel more like an 2 stroke Indian shuttle bus instead of a Miata pulling an 18 wheeler, so vast improvement

 

Short answer is YES. And not just 3rd gen!

 

Wait till you get some gears

 

Not putting gears in the IFS setup maybe I’ll boost her one day. Think the idea of turboing it would be cool since it’s a twin overhead cam and all. Get aaaalllll the top end power

 

That would be pretty gnarly.

 

For the people with 4runners is a stock one ok up at Hidden Falls or don’t try it with it
