I’ve owners at least 10 toyoace diesels I’ve personally never had a turbo 1kz the, or seen one (I can only get to 98 right now). The one in my pic is 2.0 gas. All my diesel toyoaces are always 3L 2.8 NA diesel which are dead reliable and also slow. Slow meaning of people can’t do 80 mph they think it’s slow. Can do 60-65 all day

Maybe I need to VPN to Japan to get localized results? A friend of mine that used to drive a NPR box truck for work is telling me they are horribly unsafe and uncomfortable. Basically the brain wants a Tundra, the heart wants a Toyoace. If you're worried about safety a Tundra is gonna be a much safer option than a 20 year old cab over.

I'm probably less safety conscious than I should be with my love of '90s cars, but he was making it sound like it's Suzuki Samurai levels of tin can.

Article on the National Automobile Dealers' Convention in Dallas. Lot's of terrible dealer stuff in it. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/05/rich-republicans-party-car-dealers-2024-desantis.html quote:By the time car salesmen had won their reputation as the very least scrupulous of business practitioners, dealers had secured such an astounding array of political protections via their lobbying outfit that no countervailing force—economists, car manufacturers, civil rights groups, environmentalists, or the Koch brothers—has been able to thwart them.

My former House Rep in Texas was Roger Williams, who is a car dealership owner. Took a while to find it, but his dealership got a $1.5 million PPP loan forgiven, despite him being one of the wealthiest congressmen. I have read that he has been involved in passing a lot of pro-car-dealer-lobby bills. Huge piece of poo poo. Following the Texas republican party re-gerrymandering the state, they gave him a new district closer to his dealership where he ran completely unopposed.

I attended Zoom meetings in my company car during long travels to losses (Phila-Brooklyn) in 2016. No camera of course. Once I passed a NJ state trooper going almost 90-MPH and hollered "gently caress!!" at the top of my lungs. Cop never moved, but my eyes slid down to my phone, and confirmed that I was on an open mike with at least 30-people, including everyone I knew and three tiers of bosses. There was a long pause & the meetings resumed. It was never spoken of. And I was grateful.

"Hey Blue, your mic is on" is all anyone said.

   Saw this car at the gas station last weekend, but didn't slow down to take a picture because the driver was sitting in it. It pulled out behind us yesterday, so I looped around to make sure it was documented. It's tough to see, but it says "I got your 6" above the windshield, and there was some other generic blue lives emblem on the back when I saw it the first time.

various users of these forums have been mass shooters, intelligence officers, mercenaries, child molesters, and domestic terrorists. the entire site and all its posts are archived by the library of congress. every semi-active poster on something awful is "on a list."

On the short box the step is almost touching the wheel well. From this angle it looks like a long box.  But still, my already massive 3/4 ton is dwarfed by the newer ones, and they're all just empty space to look "butch"

Open the hood of one and it's like... all air. I could barely pluck engine parts and tools out of a bed of a rental 2020 1500. At six goddamn feet tall.
