Only one question. Why must HE provide sources but not You? I was hoping to learn something.

Can you please site your sources for your reply? Thanks.

What a fucking asshole making a right turn from the center lane. Motorcycle dude’s cool though.

That is so terrible that those other kids parents had the means to put their kids in a new car that is safer than an older car. Lord knows if my folks hadn’t stepped up to help us kids out with our first cars we would’ve bought $1000 shitboxes ourselves.

Traded in 2 cars for one to try to consolidate and get something a bit nicer for my wife. I negotiated poorly and got wrapped up in the whole thing. Now, 6mo later trying to sell the new vehicle at a major loss and pay off the difference with the bank. Expensive lesson learned.

That’s a great way of putting it. I didnt listen to the video so i dont have a sense of just how much throttle input is going on. Not like i could tell with it being an EV though...

I am no stranger to the static friction vs the kinetic friction debate. It holds up well when in school they describe a box on a smooth plane and the forces required to get it to slip. The problem becomes a lot more complicated when you start including the spinning tire, temp, tread depth, snow conditions (snow itself…

Spinning the tires does a couple things to benefit the Tesla. First, it allows the treads of the tire to self clean (aka eject snow packed in it with each revolution, providing a greater ‘bite’ the next time the tread blocks contact the ground. The second thing is is can dig down below the top surface and potentially…

I have not encountered that but i use a big screw driver. None of those HF ones either.

Or drop a big screw driver down the vents in the brakes. Its handle will catch on the caliper as you turn the nut and boom, axle nut is loose. Same method for tightening.

Great writeup! Between the two articles I’ve read on you wrenching on this truck, you are still missing a critical piece of maintenance! The lower balljoints should be replaced with OEM units if you don’t know the history of the ones under the truck right now. -source: im a first gen fanboy and seen plenty worn out…

Neutral: A rose by any other name is still a rose.

Thank you for the sanity check. Felt retarded after reading his comment. But alas the powers that be pulled the ol’ bait’n switch on us!

Snow is a tricky bitch. Different snow consistencies offer wide ranges of traction. i would enjoy a day in 12in of powder but i would avoid 2in of wet snow like the Plague.

I can see it. I just don’t understand the need for people to bring their cars up in discussions where it isnt related. I mean i like my Tacoma’s A LOT. They are my escape from the real world most of the time as they can take me to amazing places. Also they are carrying on the tradition of how trucks should be, with 3…

I’ve wheeled with a Raptor before and i will admit, it takes balls. it had to tip-toe and dance between boulders on the trail that my Toyota could squeeze through no problem due to being over a foot narrower. Mad respect.

I have a Tacoma TRD Off Road model, it has a locker, it has brake-controlled LSD, it has Toyota’s proprietary traction control for offroading, and yet, we dont ever take it off the pavement. That is the type of gross misuse i was hinting at.

I think you want me to say yes?

How is that a misuse?

I am not so sure you understood the point of my post but hey, way to work that Ford!
