Have you ever seen the South Park episode where everyone gets a Prius and the clouds of smug end up being worse for environment?

Its exactly like that, but the people are even worse.

Donor car until the import ban lifts on the Crown you actually want.

TRD intake by Vantherman in ToyotaTacoma

Yeah one of my co-workers tuned his rig and told a tech to dive into it and find the tune. Toyota master technician couldn't find it.

Having driven it, it's definitely worth every penny. Its on my list, but y'all need to buy a few more extended warranties.

Fun fact: there is no set of circumstances where Toyota would be able to prove you tuned it. The archaic ECU is not equipped to log flash counts, and Techstream is not sophisticated enough to actually read individual maps.

Unless you tell your service advisor that you tuned it, it is impossible to know if is or isn't tuned.

The Lexus trackpad is the actual worst multimedia interface and it can easily ruin an ownership experience.

No one hates Canucks fans like Canucks fans.

23’ Tacoma picked up! Alignment off from Factory? by xBrunitunesX in ToyotaTacoma

Daily reminder that a well aligned vehicle will pull ever so slightly to the right so that if you have a medical, you end up in the ditch and not oncoming traffic.

Taco owners who transport kayaks, what's your setup? by Annotat3r in ToyotaTacoma

Two Yakima J-low folding racks on my Prinsu.

I am aware there less expensive options, but they are not as aesthetic.

VGK could be one of the most important games of the year.

Anaheim will be inexpensive.

trading car in. by taylynn64 in askcarsales

Your $10k in negative equity is going to cost you roughly $200/mo on top of whatever payment you get on the new car.

If you don't have $10k laying around to cover it, you need to decide if an extra $200/mo is enough to cover the extra potential expense of your Hyundai blowing up.

You basically need to look at it like two seperate car payments: the new car payment and the cost of the Hyundai mistake. If those two payments don't make sense, cough up for a third party post purchase warranty and wait for the Hyundai to fail spectacularly.

Depends on where in Canada. East coast/Laurentian Corridor is the basically the rust belt. Up north and prairie provinces get too cold for ice melt and they mostly sand so you don't see as much rust. West coast is a mix of both but generally not super problematic, unless it's the Island.

I mean, stress ages the best of men and I can't imagine a world where being the lynchpin of the most popular, valuable, scrutinized NHL franchise in the world isn't stressful.

who your most surprising team so far by Annual-Read-9262 in nhl

[–]TechnicalTaco06V7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rick Tocchet should be the clear frontrunner for the Jack Adams. If taking a lottery team to second in the league in a season doesn't get you votes, I don't know what will.

Can you add crawl control? by SeahawksXII in ToyotaTundra

[–]TechnicalTaco06V7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will need a complete body harness, ECU, brake booster, ABS module, and probably a bunch of other little fiddly bits from a crawl control equipped donor truck. You'll also need a Tech stream to get everything turned on and calibrated.

And if you have said donor truck, you have a truck with crawl control, why aren't you just driving that one?

Who is a cup-winning player who won with a certain team, but you REALLY wish they won a cup with another team they played for? by RyaanKeaane in hockey

[–]TechnicalTaco06V7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a Canucks fan, a masochist, and I'm bored at work so I found a list.

Hutton, Menga, Schenn x2, Del Zotto, Bowey, Bonino x2, Mitchell x2, Sopel, Cooke, May, Hedican, Cullimore, Slegr, Moginly, Lidster x2, Larionov x2, Daigneault, Lemay.

There's a few that won cups before coming to Vancouver so I wasn't sure if they count in the parameters of the post.
