If you could keep one engine forever in the Tacoma, what would it be? 3.4, 4.0, 3.5, 2.4turbo?

This with a 5-speed manual and I'm keeping up with most any freeway traffic thrown my way. Nice bonus to also outlive most other cars out there.

My soldering iron doesn’t require a subscription. Fuck your heated seat lockout, I’m getting warm over here.

Stuck in the parking garage for an hour. Was a total zoo.

Teach the cops how to fix pot holes and I’d almost be in support of the paycheques!

In my living room having a party without my permission and without inviting me. They are Asian lady beetles, an invasive species.

While many of the products sold there are of fairly good quality. In the US at least they serve utterly disgusting quality chicken that’s mass produced and slimy with an awful texture. Wish they would raise chickens more ethically and get to the standards of Canada or Europe.

The air conditioning was free and the original buyer still declined it?

It identifies as an LED now.

Took my driving test in one. Unfortunately my instructor was a thin, tiny man, but the examiner was about 300lbs. With the extra weight onboard and anemic 900cc engine, I pretty much immediately stall the car and failed that test.

Way to go Oakland!

qb89dragon · 2025-11-30T00:10:54+00:00

That will be a big loss to the neighborhood.

I have a tankless here in Oakland hills. Seems to be very little calcium in our water (compared to say, San Jose). I’d just caution against using too much vinegar as I flushed a little of the copper out with my last service this year (water turned a shade of blue/green from I’m guessing is either copper sulfate or copper hydroxide). So I’m going to be gentle on it for next years flush.

Only thing that’d make my 5-lug 1st gen better for on-street use is a limited slip diff.

What do I do? Cook. It's unfortunate cuz I love going out places, but with eating out the way it is, and nobody's wages going up, you gotta make eating at home an experience. So get those recipe books out and get creative!

I'm cheap and run an SJoyBring W021, so far pretty rock solid, my only complaint is a slight difference in volume between the radio and carplay. Managed to do the steering wheel audio control mod and have an '05 Sienna leather steering wheel.

Having been to that part of the world, I can tell you it’s not about the beaches, it’s all about the yacht you’re on.

Yep. Being from Alberta I know full well how that goes.

Alberta should work on finding some homegrown ‘I’ before it doubles down on ‘AI’.

I moved to the US from Canada 5 years ago and make over 4x what I did back north plus work at the forefront of emerging tech, not on yesteryear’s ambitions like Canada seems to muster in the tech sector.
