Hi all...long time member, but I've been away for a while busy with too many other things. Thought I'd chime back in and get some advice. I just bought a used 99 Toyota Tacoma SR5 ext cab with the 3.4L V6, std tranny, 4wd. It won't be a daily driver, just weekend work, occasional trips to town...

Keep in mind that those figures include pay and total benefits. I'm confident that those benefits are: (1) quite generous, and (2) undefined in the article. 1. Does it include health benefits only for current employees or does it include retired? If so, that's going to skew the numbers...

I personally don't care who is #1 in total sales. It really is meaningless to me. My money will go to the company that I perceive (based on a reasonable degree of research and objective data) to provide the best quality and most reliable vehicle at a reasonable price. If it's GM, I'll buy GM. If...

Running Down a Dream > Tom Petty

+1 on both statements.

Many of us don't consider kleenex, a radar detector, a charger, or some pen and paper impedimentia. On the other hand, I don't like carrying a bunch of tools and supplies around, either.

I figured this'd get some seriously funny responses...I was right.

No, I just took the pictures there in the parking lot. I was afraid to linger there after experiencing that monstrosity. Didn't know what kind of mutant abomination from the nether regions might walk up on me. I gathered from the black soot on the...ummmmm...exhaust pipe that it's real, in some...

Spotted in a parking lot in Evansville, Indiana last summer...by me, who just happened to have his digital camera with him after coming from a car show:

Urrrmmm, that didn't come out right, did it...

Oops...I was lost in the beautiful prose of the post.

Let me alter my original question slightly: With everything else in the engine and tranny being equal and unchanged, would an extra exhaust (not just a tail pipe, but a full, separate exhaust from manifold to a separate cat to muffler to tip) provide any extra power?

He forgot to mention the "rich, Corinthian leather".

+1 on what Titan said.

Never cared much for Saturn, but was always a big fan of Uranus.

I've got kids, too...still nothing goes on the floor that doesn't belong. At least, it doesn't stay there for long.

What I don't understand is why this is coming around again? Ford gave this press release back in March, when it was a topic of discussion for a while back then. Is Lansing that far behind the times?

I cast another vote for the soccer moms in SUVs bigger than they need. Just today I had one following me down a 4-lane highway driving a brand new 4-Runner, talking on her cell phone, and turning back constantly to tend to what I can only assume was an unhappy child in a car seat. She was...

I thought it might be fun to talk about how we organize the inside of our cars. Most people who visit auto forums on a regular basis are probably pretty particular about their cars, so there's probably some interesting and good ideas out there. I'll go first. (This is on the Accord.) 1. I have...
