    WA resident here. This is a welcome change. Getting gas in OR is infuriating.

    Honestly, nothing. I’ve got an e36 M3 and a 2000 Tacoma TRD V6 manual 4x4, and that’s a perfect two car garage for me. I’m good.

    Looks like the rear at least has been converted to a solid axle. There’s likely not much Element left underneath the body.

    Definitely super cool, but is the diesel really worth that much of a premium over the US spec gas engine? Or is there significantly more that’s different? I’m hardly a Land Cruiser expert.

    It’s pretty unbelievable that a Camry now has more power than my M3.

    He didn’t destroy it, this is just preparation for an S54 swap.

    Oh god, you had one as your only car? I had at least one other vehicle for most of the time that I owned it.

    As a former B5 S4 owner, I feel for you.

    Nope, neither has a lever. On the BMW, the fuel flap locks with the doors. On the Toyota, there’s a key hole in the fuel flap itself.

    I’m not saying that that’s universally true, but it happens to be on my two cars.

    Filler is on the right.

    1999 M3 and 2000 Tacoma. The filler is on the side of the hose on the M3, but opposite on the Tacoma. Neither has an arrow or anything like that.

    I have two vehicles, and they have the fillers on different sides. Neither has an indicator in the fuel gauge.

    Cost wise, no, but breaking in skates is a big deal. You don’t want to go hacking up your nice broken in ones.

    Long time hockey player here. I’ve broken a foot (twice) blocking a shot off the inside of it.

    I wonder the same thing about aftermarket head units. My vehicles all predate bluetooth, and though I’ve been able to update a couple with aftermarket modules in place of a CD changer, my truck (2000 Tacoma V6 4x4 5MT TRD Off-Road) has an aftermarket head unit. It works fine, but why on earth do they all need to light

    I’ve taken to just calling them the Slurs.

    Toyota Tacoma. I wanted a V6, manual, 4x4, with the small cab/long bed combo (so I could put a shell on it and sleep in back). The only way to get that combo is on a TRD Sport package, at which point I’m paying more for a non-functional hood scoop, too stiff suspension, and uglier wheels.

    No, I actually meant the Pro. The MSRP of the Wrangler I rented (Rubicon Unlimited) with leather and so on was something like $47k. I picked the Pro to match the leather interior. If you forgo that and the Fox suspension, the Off Road is much better value again. Hell, if you don’t care about the leather or the
