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

@MEC-777 Ostberg set a new jump record at 44m in the new fiesta.

 

 

 

Also Meeke crashed. Again.

 

Neuville lost the lead after failing to complete a stage (broken steering rack), which awarded him a 10 minute penalty.

Bedliner. And do the top of the rails and 2" down

Eventually. But yeah, that's another half a pallet of bricks down.

$13 in gas vs something like $70 to have all of this stuff delivered. I'd say that's success. Just a bunch of cuts and scrapes to go along with it.

To me a truck is a work horse, no more or less.

 

Doesn't need fancy features

well if it's gonna be my daily, it's gotta be comfortable for long trips.

Trucks are one of the most comfortable things to drive because you can actually sit normally, not at any kind of weird angle.

Ironically enough, I find Toyotas have a really bad seating position compared to most other trucks.

Really? I think the bottom of the seat is a little bit odd but I don't think I've ever had a problem with them for the most part. To be fair though, I don't sit in a Tundra or Tacoma very often.

Driving a manual first or second gen tacoma is nearly impossible to be comfortable. Its hard to describe, but the seat is low and the dash is at an awkward angle. I like my knees slightly bent while driving a manual. The end of the kick panel digs into my shins and forces me to hang my leg sideways. 

 

Don't have this issue in any other truck.

I haven't been in one of those in a while, I think you're also considerably taller than me, no?

As long as the windows go up and down and the stereo at least functions. That's all a truck really needs.

 

But then again the newest truck I've been in was a 1998. So it doesn't have a ton of fancy things. Trucks are utilitarian to me. Nothing more, nothing less

So yeah, ~4" taller.

So between you and I would be about Luke and Linus, considering that would put me at about 8 inches taller

Linus said on WAN show quite a while back that he was 5'6"

 

I'd say Luke is easily 6'1" or 6'2"
