No RPM gauge, at base model of Toyota Yaris.

Interior Trunk release. My fully loaded 2005 Mustang GT did not have this. If I was in the car then had to open the trunk for any reason, I would have to shut down the car, get out, walk around to the back and use the key.

Wheel covers. Ugly. Steelies look better. They are like a comb over. You are not fooling anyone.

I don't know what you're describing, but you've missed the definition of "fun" by quite a bit.

You were probably on a lower rear dif ratio as well. Moving to bigger tires always requires more torque at the lower ends, and your power always suffers at highway speeds because of this.

To be fair though, an 87 Ranger probably didn't have air bags, or side impact crumple zones, or anything else really. There wasn't

Reminds me of my 1987 Ford Ranger from high school. 2.3L, 5 spd, 2wd. Bought it from an offroad parts dealer who used it to showcase Smittybuilt parts. The thing was lifted with 31" tires, roll bar, spare tire tripod, step bars, skid plates, and giant pushbar bumpers. All for show, no actual offroading

Well when compared to the slightly heavier (supposedly) Tacoma with a base 2.7L with 160hp and even the most powerful engine avail for it, the 4.0L with 235hp, it doesn't look so bad for the Colorado.

Except you have it backwards here. Have you ever driven a weak 4 cylinder car with an automatic through hills before? Apparently not, because the trans kicks down about every 20 seconds because it can't make efficient use of the small power that its given. With a manual, you can actually rev it out without worries and

Which of the 3 engines announced has 180hp?

No, see I disagree there. If it's going to be base model 4WD it has to have a manual transmission. Manuals are easier to maintain, repair, and allow you to extract power out of smaller engines more efficiently. No matter how much scientific data you present me with on how efficient modern automatics are, I'd still

I've stated this before on similar threads but you have to know your child AND be considerate to others.

I want to agree with this article, because being stuck in an enclosed space with a crying infant is about as annoying as it gets, but there just isn't much you can do or say without being a complete asshole to the poor parents. That being said, there is one thing that I find infiuriating : parents who don't even try

No one should ever be small, or bother me, or fly but me. I hate stuff!

This whole tirade assumes that the parents wanted to be travelling at that time with their child.

I hope to one day sit behind Mr. Travis Okulski - so I can kick the shit out of your seat. Life is harder than a screaming child. You don't know their situation or why they chose to fly at that time so quit whining and learn some patience. What an inconsiderate manbaby.

Almost had a similar situation recently, the kid was screaming her head off during boarding. Everyone was pretty aggravated, looking forward to a flight full of the same. For some reason, she looked at me and wanted me to pick her up. Which I did, and she quieted down instantly. So I looked at Mom, and she gave me
