    A jeep liberty? I think he was looking to empty his pockets with repairs.

    But why is it with people who think they have a fast car always the people owning crap cars?

    Who races trucks?! I mean, trucks are not made for speed. Only a few trucks made actually go fast (Lightning, Ram SRT-10, Silverado SS, etc). Racing any other kind of truck is useless since most 1980's Honda Civics are faster.
    Trucks are made to work, not to go fast. That goes for Jeeps too! haha

    It's obvious isn't it? They see your hood scoop, this translates in their minds that you want to race them.

    In the tacoma not so much but the 02 vette everybody wants to run, I can't just go for a cruse with out somebody pulling up next to me and wanting to race. It gets old, I just want to cruise the vette. I know what it will do and I don't have to prove it to people.

    A 4.0L Tacoma isn't that slow as far as run of the mill pickup trucks go. It keeps up with the current V8 1/2 tons on the market which have gobs more power. It feels awesome compared to the 20R/22RE/3VZE trucks I have owned in the past.
