The TRD Pro’s starting price of $72,130... With very few options (just $295 worth) my tester rang in at $74,295.

I think they also tend to bypass the interlocks and alarms because, ya know, safety is annoying and takes up precious time.

GM took the license to the VM 2.8 diesel for the 2nd Gen Colorado.  Bumped up to 180hp / 370 ft/lbs.  I’ve got one in my ZR2, been a good little engine.  

I rode passenger in a V8 swapped Fiero.  Not just any V8, it was a 383 with all the go-fast parts.  Holy shit it was nutty.

Thanks for using my SS 1LE suggestion, and then using a picture of a ZL1 which is decidedly not an entry level car..

For a turn-key track day car, a 6th gen Camaro SS 1LE is tough to beat.  A track alignment, some DOT 4 brake fluid and it’s good to go beat up on most anything else on the track.

Just go reference the banned car mods qotd.

Remember when tubeless tires first starting showing up?  The Mavic UST(I think?) setups?  50/50 they’d stay on the rims, and if they left go it wasn’t just noise, you’d get a face full of sealant.  Coworker of mine actually got nerve damage to his palm from one of those.  Hand happened to be right where the bead let…

In my bike shop days, at least once a month one of the mechanics wouldn’t seat the tire bead, and blow a tube at anywhere from 30-100psi.  The shop was in the very back of a decently sized store, and the pressure change would still manage to pop the front door open, along with a bang that made every customer jump. …

It was great, but it still opens the valves if you go 100% throttle.

I hate compressed gasses. I’m a hydraulics guy, I’d rather deal with 5,000psi oil than 100psi air.

This is why you don’t fuck around with stored energy.

Back registration fees? Here in MN we just have to sign a statement that the vehicle has been off the road and we don’t have to pay any back fees.

Same, for $3500 I’d buy that immediately if it was within a state or two of me.

I’m not surprised at all that it happened in Fergus Falls.  It’s a weird little town.  

Ordered all the options for my truck, so no poverty buttons here..

Bold of you to assume someone taking that deal would have gap coverage in their insurance.

Yup.  I grew up knowing nothing about finance, credit, etc.  I had a smidge of common sense but was still pretty bad with money, never paying off cards or just paying minimums.  About 5 years ago I finally realized that was a losing game, made an effort to pay off cards and get my finances in order.  Credit score just…

This is the correct answer.

For mid-sized trucks, yes.  When could you get a mid-sized with something longer than a 6' bed?
