Thanks dude

Thank you Sam!

We weren't trying to have our first child, but once we did, we wanted him to have a sibling close in age. I'm done after this one

Thank you! Yeah...I'm already exhausted with just one kid. Say some prayers for me

 

Tyler is fertile as fuck. Little slipper fucker.

 

Hide yo wife

 

slipper fucker.
kinky

 

*flipper.

Because penguin.

 

gucci flippers.

 

I hope everyone is doing well during this pandemic. Crazy times.

As always, no major updates. The Tacoma hit 191k miles and I got a used set of 2019 Tacoma wheels and some A/T tires for $400 total. They look WAY better than the factory set and I couldn't beat the price. I'm tempted to put a small 1-2" leveling kit since the chunky tires look a bit odd at stock height, but I know that would start me down the rabbit hole of modifying



The S2000 now has OEM clear sidemarkers with chrome-dipped amber bulbs that I've had for the last year or so. The car is at 142k miles. I've also been working on getting my garage looking better. Other than flooring, I'm really happy with the look.

 

S2K is looking good and that is a clean Tacoma! What year is it?

 

Thank you! It's a 2011.

 

Clean garage. I can’t get mine to look like that until I install a tuff shed out back.

 

Lovely looking garage and goddayum, I love that S2K...

 

Looking amazing brotha!

 

Mine only looks like this because I have a shed I can't remember the exact size, but I'm fairly certain that it's 10x16. The S2000 could fit if I really tried.

Thanks Yummy

Thank you sir!

 

Truck looks great on those wheels.
Got some garage organization done this weekend too. Slowly working back to getting the C indoors again.

 

yeah, those wheels were a no brainer, dude...nicely done.

 

Nice man, car looks great! Hope it keeps bringing you many more miles of enjoyment and freedom from the kid(s).

 

S2000 looks perfect man!

Garage looking clean too ...

Are you like me where you have to constantly tell your wife to not use the garage as a dumping ground?

 

I happen to think that comes from a deep rooted emotional jealousy of the bond we have with the garage and how much time we want to spend in there.
You have the WHOLE fucking house but you need to store these ____________ (dumb shit that doesn't belong in garage) out here half hazardly thrown
on my work space?

 

My wife tells me I need to clean up the garage and that I use it as a dumping ground for my shit.

 

Tell her to get her ass back in the house where the lady folk are allowed

 

That was my project over the weekend. 3 car garage that only has 1 car & a motorcycle in it.
Too many kids toys (bikes, Ford Raptor) and disorganization. Slowly getting it in order.

 

you should see what i can do with only 1 car garage to work with

 

Damn man garage looking good. Envious of people how are able to keep a clean simple garage.

 

Thank you! I love keeping a tidy garage. It's the only area in the house where I have near complete control



Thank you Sam! It hasn't been driven much recently, but it's still incredibly fun. Slow...but fun

It'll look even better once you send me your floor tiles

Thank you dude! And yes, she keeps putting her stuff out there and it drives me crazy! I put it in the trunk of her car and she gets the hint lololol

Silly womenz. Let us have our ONE area

All in good time! I'm jealous of the three car garage! I would love to park my Tacoma indoors.

Thank you Jason! The shed in the backyard certainly helps. I have a few other items in the garage (air compressor, floor jack, and two kids toys) but that's it.

Let me know if I can hang onto any of your wheels for you

A much needed paint correction was done on the Tacoma this weekend. Since I bought it, the factory single-stage paint has looked like crap. It seemed to be a matte finish when touched and water never beaded off. Nearly 9 hours later, it looks much better! Not perfect, but not bad for 192k miles This first photo is a poorly executed horizontal 50/50 shot; bottom is corrected just with compound, top is untouched:



Done! Don't mind the weeds.





And the other two vehicles watching the Tacoma hog the garage:

 

Dog, you did such a good job on that.
There's no way a vehicle that new is single stage.
but damn that white got chalky!
My old boss' corolla, same shit

 

My F-I-L's '08 Tundra is hurting a bit in the paint dept. Clear starting to peel on the hood & roof. Told him he should wetsand & respray it. My dad's got a paint rig, but not sure how well/if it could shoot auto paint.

 

Thanks J

Yikes, that sounds horrible. Luckily mine was just oxidized to hell and nothing was peeling. I didn't think I would be able to correct it at all! It's not perfect but much better than before, especially since it's never been garaged, and sadly never will.

Also, I shared this photo in another thread, but I suppose it should go here too:



Fresh oil, transmission fluid, differential fluid, and filters will be here this week

 

I would gladly do those services to your vehicle with you.
She's a beautiful car, man. I sometimes miss the silver...
so classy.

 

Car looks great.

 

Holy shiiiiiiiii I bought something for the car Honda released some 20th Anniversary parts for the S2000, so I pre-ordered this back in February and it just arrived last week. 1 of 2,000 produced. Hella JDM bro.









But I'm not sure if I'm installing it Unlike my current radio door, this new one doesn't match the center console trim. I think it might look out of place, plus, I enjoy the contrast of the metal since my entire interior is black.



Right now the new piece is staying in the box until I can make up my mind. These things are sold out, so they're selling for much more than original retail. I might just make a quick buck

From the last wash:



And from this evening's drive out in the country:

 

Dude, install that ish. It looks sweet and gives you even more street cred. Might even up the value of the car.

 

I would just put it in a nice frame and hang it on your garage! I like your stock one better in your interior.

 

I'm with Aaron on that one.

 

I think the aluminum looks nicer, too. I'd make a quick buck!

And my god the S2000 is looking hawt!

 

Mehhhhhh. Can't decide.

I'm leaning towards that, but then again, I don't need any other clutter in there

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this way

Thank you sir!

 

Aluminum gives it that pop.

id stick with what you have and make a quick buck.

 

It's funny but that was my thinking when you shared me the link originally.
I would for sure sell that shit to make a couple bucks...

 

No posts in here in exactly 1 year! I hope everyone has been doing well.

Other than some maintenance items like engine mounts and fresh oil/trans fluid/diff fluid, the car hasn't changed much at all. I'm up to 146k miles - just 4k miles since June 2020. No, I never installed the radio door It's still in the box. It's quite shocking how these cars are appreciating...I'm glad I bought when I did.

I've been dedicating my time on getting the garage set up the way I want. I'm waiting on a few more items, then I'll do a full "reveal" or recap. Here's a sneak peek, as this is the most recent picture of the S2000 I have:



The Tacoma is at 204k and I just did a bunch of service work like new spark plugs, brake fluid flush, coolant flush, diff flush, power steering flush, new front OEM rotors, new front OEM pads, and oil change. It'll be around for another 3-5 years, then I'll likely upgrade to a new-generation Tundra.
