It's a joke about the Toyota Tacoma Frame Rot Issue. Toyota was buying back Tacoma trucks multiple times over their blue book value or doing full frame replacements. A tenant of mine had the frame replaced on his Tacoma, but he said it was never right after that and ended up trading it in on a real truck, a 2013 Sierra quad-cab.

A question for guys, is the Cheers and Gears: Garage important to you? There is a possibility that the the garage plug-in may not be available right away in the next software version of the site. If I have to temporarily disable the Garage until it is upgraded, will you be heartbroken?

There are some people out there that don't need the same type of car you do. If it weren't for the need for AWD, my partner would do just fine with a Leaf as his primary vehicle on a day to day basis. My suburban-DC based in-laws are looking at a Leaf for Father/Daughter to share to replace an old Hemi Charger... he works from home 4 days a week and she is going to be a senior in high school. She'll take the Leaf to school 4 days a week and then he can drive his 50 mile round trip to work once a week. Their other car is a Suburban for family duty, but a commuter car that uses no gas is a perfect second car for them.

That's nothing! Toyota will replace your entire Tacoma with a new one at 100k miles.

You'll like the additional power over the Cruze, but it won't feel the same torquey low-end grunt that the 3800 has. Just be willing to wind up the engine and you'll be fine.

I have a similar thing with my vision, but not as extreme.... but I'm also sensitive to bright light.

I like'em. I was looking at a trailhawk for myself.

Can you get an aftermarket one?

Yeah, the black graphics are a Trailhawk feature I believe.... I think it also gets you red tow hooks on the front, so if you spy those, it's a Trailhawk

I do remember that they removed the Impala badge on the c-pillar in the final years and the GM badge on the front fenders has been gone on all models for a few years now. I've driven one as a rental and the engine and transmission combo is great, but with the "almost a cop car" suspension, I didn't care for the ride and handling.

You ever plug it in?

Ocn, any car of yours that has over 50K miles on it would likely be a nightmare for you.

Sounds like a pretty simple fix then.
