Everybody spouts how great they are... apparently not as good as everyone things

However they do marketing better than the big three did, so they'll weather these two incidents I predict.

They're referencing Tundras.. nevertheless, my frame looks no where near like this under seawater frame they're picturing.

And for day to day reliability, Toyotas rock!

Jed, Kevin, and myself are living proof of that.

Problem is between now and Thankgiving time it limited at the 'rents house. From Pismo and me being in Wash DC there are about two weekends free.

Hell there are enough places around, BJ's, Lucilles, Me & Ed's, Downtown LBC.... if we want to make it happen, it can happen.

Funny, my Tacoma doesn't make any front end noise.

Next time Leo heads up we'll all try to make a Me & Ed's run.

Other than that..

Can someone tell me, or even better, give me a link to the GT500 flat repair kit. I need to get one. I've figured out that if I get a flat there is no way on earth I'm gonna be able to fit a jack under this car. So I need something that might actually work for me.
