Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

...welcome to the car business. Toyota isn't one to take risks unless they know they can. Hell, if anything, that's why people love 'em. I certainly don't care for Toyota for the most part, but I hardly hate 'em.

Also, has anyone here hit another car while on a motorcycle?

 

Because I have, quite a few times...

 

I mean hitting the side rear views. 

 

Hit a BMW once. God was the owner angry.

literally any other car is better than a lada ... only thing ladas have going for them is that you can fix them with a hammer and duct tape and they run on anything somewhat combustible

While cool, Rocket Bunny vehicles are NOT practical for everyday use and are just show vehicles. Personally I gravitate to stock vehicles but accept upgrades on old cars such as the Morris Minor and Austin A30/A35 to make them more usable for modern day use, I also don't mind upgrades on kei cars.

So...

 

Someone messed with my GS500E while I was at work yesterday. When I walked out to it it was several meters away from where I parked, pointing a different direction and it was damaged.

 

Right side indicator was broken off, right bar end is really bent, scratches along the entire right side the spoiler/handle at the back is pointing in a brand new direction...

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

Today I test drove a Mitsi Triton GLX-R 4WD, a triton RWD VRX, a triton GLX-R RWD, and a Toyota Hilux workmate RWD petrol. Petrol engine was smoother, faster, and had a lower deck height. I am a city driver that is driving off-road for church sunday. The top end VRX triton demo model disappointed me in that the aircon made super loud whistle noise that the GLX-R did not. The toyota aircon made no noise. I am of scottish blood. I only have one setting for climate. This is hard cold. I could go on but is this an appropriate place to do a truck review?

Sounds like someone ran into it and then picked it back up ... that sucks :(
