My car has a flat tire. At least it's in my garage instead of the side of the road somewhere.

The kei is rated for 1,650 pounds. The Silverado is available with 2,200 pound capacity (and it cost 50x the kei truck). This small JDM Toyota has a bed load rating of 3,300 pounds and it’s much smaller than a new Tacoma (but has a 9 foot bed)

These tires aren't flat, but they were about to strand me just the same. 2012 date code on em. The car was free, though.  Luckily, my fly-n-buy from Ohio to Georgia also included picking up a cheap pair of alloy wheels (to complete the partial set I've already got) so I had more than one spare on hand. The 2nd tire didn't come apart until just after Dayton OH, and I tip-toed the rest of the way to Atlanta with the cruise set at a hard 60mph. Made it in at like 4am. Cruising at 5-10mph under the speed limit is kind of zen. You're never jockeying for position, you're never stuck behind anybody. Semi trucks complete their passes in seconds instead of minutes. Nobody sticks around in your blind spot, but a surprising amount of people will sit behind you with their adaptive cruise control set, happy to pace you for miles and miles.

I drove from NJ to California doing 5 under the whole way and you’re totally right. Just riding in the right lane the whole time is nice and chill and no one is honking at you cause you’re where you’re supposed to be.

I wouldn't call it zen, but it is strangely relaxing to have most drivers actively avoid you, and very funny to lead a line of cars happy to cruise slowly down the road

I cannot persuade either my wife or my son that driving on freeways at 60-65-MPH in the Econoline is actually pleasant (though not quite Zen until I get the steering tightened up: needs a drag link & tie rod ends) for all of the reasons you list. Much better than regular roads, where who knows what fuckery will materialize directly in front of you.

And then cold and bothered when it breaks down in the middle of the winter on the side of the road and the nearest parts are in some warehouse in LA if I'm lucky.

Had to get the car towed to a local tire shop this morning. As the tow truck was on the highway we were passed by an aggressive dickhead in a lifted truck with the usual angry white male bullshit stickers all over the cab rear window and a giant ocean liner-looking smoke stack rising out of the bed. I told the tow truck driver he probably felt intimidated by someone driving a truck obviously being used for work and not mall crawling. Also I said the dude had a small dick.

They don't sell the little guys here but they do have the class 3 ones. Oh, yeah, I've always had an eye on the Isuzu NPR. Especially after I found out it could be had with a Vortec/LSx gasser V8... I like the Toyoace for being quite a bit smaller, with an available small 4-cylinder gasser. I'm not against diesel, particularly in actual *work* trucks, but I prefer guzzoline. Also, LSx V8 noises coming from a flatbed truck would be awesome, in the case of the NPR. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 21:56 on May 30, 2023 |

Coulda charged another 10-quid for a nitrile glove. gently caress off with your 'hygiene concern,' it would have made a better impression if you had retrieved said sex toy and left it on the dash.

Would you rather glove up and undildo a seat rail for 20 seconds or change diff oil that hasn't been touched in 100k miles?

"Jammed in the rails that the seat slides on" makes me think thats not a tech note. "Jammed in the Seat rails" would be sufficient

I've been struggling to convince myself that importing/buying an imported Toyoace is a bad decision since yesterday, thanks thread. It helps that the only one I found on tc-v that was 4x4 was also a naturally aspirated diesel, which I didn't realize anyone even made in '97. Do those things get crash tested anywhere? I assume that Japan has a crash testing agency but I can't dig it up on Google. 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.
