Fair enough. I cheat and my wife drives a Tacoma and i, a 4Runner, so needing to use the camping truck for suburban truck life is a non-issue.

Sure if you consider the only way to us a truck is to fit a sheet of plywood in the bed then sure it is ruined.

Mine is on my Tacoma 24/7. now that i am under your skin... mounting it like that does limit carrying home a couch on Saturday but if your using your truck as a truck, in the hills, there are a lot of benefits having it mounted like that. For one, aerodynamics, low center of gravity, and security. When you lock the…

We bought a new Tacoma a couple years ago that we really shouldn’t have bought based on our situation and stretched the payments as long as we could. I figured we will have it for a very long time and it should be damn reliable.

When your wheeling/offroad rig has 100k mile less than your DD but its the one always getting fixed.

I made the plunge buying a 99 runner with 277k miles, and not a single record. Body was straight, frame was clean, engine ran well and the tranny shifted great. I knew there would be some work to be done but i enjoy that. 8 months later and i couldn’t be happier with that.

In the same token, the ones that you claim are “ never sold after hitting said milestones.” is due to the fact that they are just plain worn out/broken/rough shape. The ones on the list are still running strong and worth a damn to sell.

Sorry to be pedantic but when did the 24 Hours of Lemons become infamous? I always thought it was a positive and fun event?

Thankfully battery production is carbon neutral.

How so? They bought used Ford F150's, put their own motor in (i know I’m simplifying that part) and are now testing their motors. 

What about the math on depreciation differences between the two engines?

It is a good car but will always carry the fact that you couldve had the v8. Every time one rumbles by on a street, or fires up near you in a parking lot youll have to tell yourself all the reasons you didn’t buck up and get the real deal. Same thing with a 3500 mega cab 4x4 neutered by having the gasser motor. If you…

People who buy 4cyl Mustangs too.

Who would buy a gasser 3500 mega cab 4x4 for $67k?!? Wow.

Way to move the goalposts.... Just admit you goofed.

THANK YOU!!!! Then 5 of them all do it in front and now ive got 2 car lengths between me and the car in front. 

Now THAT would be a hypocrisy. 

If you are offended, that is your problem.

I used to get nervous next to cops at stop lights with some of the not-so-legal parts of my cars, but its turned out to be quite safe as they are too busy looking at their computer. I’m assuming his eyes were there, looked up and physics was against him.

Failure to indicate? Oh please in what universe do you live in that you have to signal the direction your vehicle is going to go after getting tboned by a red light runner? Fuck outta here with that.
