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

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.

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.
2014 Mazda Mazda3 s Grand Touring, $25,999 - Cars.com
I know, I could just buy a bike rack, but I do like the new design.

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

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!

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.

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
