Just buy a Tacoma. You know you want too, or a 4 runner!

 

I was looking at a new truck (waiting for new tacoma). I want a double cab tacoma with long bed, or a double cab tundra with the long bed (8 feet).

Excellent bike/motorcycle friendly

 

Heard the new Tacoma wasn't impressing. I'm waiting to see what the 2016 Pilot is going to look like.

 

^^
Yup people are saying motor, and suspension is the same. like the Tundra only the front and rear and interior was changed. It isn't confirmed yet.

I will wait to see what they reveal in Detroit (as far as specs)

Otherwise going to get a Double Cab Tundra long bed with the vinyl seats.

 

I HATE cloth seats. Especially tan. Those of you that follow me on IG will know what I'm talking about.

First and last car with cloth.

 

Gave the car its first wash in quite some time, and it looks like I'm just about due for tires

 

Stop driving so much. You wouldn't need tires LOL!

I soooo agree with you on the tan/beige guts.

 

So what do you guys think about the newer Fusion? This would replace the Avalon.

It was on her initial list of cars when she was considering new, but with her only wanting to spend 25k or so, I finally opened her up to used.

2014 Ford Fusion Titanium, $25,995 - Cars.com

I'm worried about her dashing the wheels on this

It's either this, or maybe a TSX Tech. One popped up locally with only 10k, but sold immediately.

 

Not going to lie, but I kinda want another Mazda.

I know, I could just buy a bike rack, but I do like the new design.

 

The Fusion looks awesome. I really like the Mazda 3 too, though. But the Fusion is roomier and I'd probably take that. Also has a better engine.

 

You already know my answer...

 

The Fusion would be for her.. The Mazda would be for me

 

Well I need you to hurry up and decide, I may need you to go to Arizona with me.

 

what's out there?

 

Besides Stogie and Ttribe

 

Todd was out there to but he moved to the midwest.

 

That's why I didn't mention him

 

My friend has a '14 Mazda3, base model (and engine) with the 6MT. I really like it. Nice to drive/spend time in.

 

We here like to refer to it as the mid-south, meow. This time of the year I really miss the Arizona warmth, but not so much once it warms up here.

 

Sorry.... Yea I bet those summers in AZ are brutal.

 

They are, but you do get used to it after a few years there.

 

Oil changed today as well as the cabin filter.

I can't find a replacement air filter for the life of me.. Walmart has the wrong size listed, doesn't carry the right one, while Autozone and Kragen don't even have them in stock

I guess I have to go to Honda

 

I bought a K&N drop in today.. It was only five dollars more than a fram. Either my OEM filter was really dirty, or the drop in makes a difference, but the car sounds pretty throaty now

All bark and no bite.. Typical honda.

 

I can relate to the bark and no bite sentiment At least it sounds decent. Surprised a filter makes that much difference in sound!

 

It's more when you gun it at low rpms, before the transmission decides to downshift. It kinda growls in a weak way

 

Dude, a K&N drop in gives FRS/BRZ a fat 4 WHP. hahaha It's crazy.

 

The car doesn't suck so bad in Eco mode now

 

I must try this...

 

My all time favorite intake noise on any car I've owned was the Neuspeed intake on my EP3. It was only making 160hp but damn did it sound good! The AEM V2 on my AV6 was a close second. Honda intake noise is sublime when done right, even with a drop in and the stock intake.

 

Loved my 3G TL with AEM CAI.. That thing sounded sweet. I still remember that moment when I went WOT for the first time after getting it installed. I didn't care how slow the car was. It just sounded lovely!

 

I was depressed when I installed my CAI, not much of a difference around town. First time going WOT a few days after I was like

Still slow as balls but... it sounds nice trying.

 

Bryan is supposed to buy me a gift.



I think I know what it is.

 

 

Intake noise from my 2G

 

Drove to Vegas and back.. Did pretty well on gas

Loop one: SLO to Barstow=36mpg average with a low of 27mpg (lots of uphill)

Loop two: Barstow to Vegas=45mpg average with a low of 39mpg

Loop three: Vegas to Barstow=40mpg average with a low of 37mpg

Loop four: Barstow to SLO= 42mpg average with a low of 39mpg

Not too bad. I was doing 80-85mph on the I15

 

Pretty good. I'll have to track mine when going to SD next month.

 

Damn I'm jelly.

 

Wow that gas mileage is amazing!

 

I can't hate the car, as much as I want to

 

Just about to hit 41k..
