Extra fuel cans in case there isn't a gas station for another 1200 miles! 🤣
How do you run out of fuel in a Prius?

By putting heavy gas cans on it! 🤣
 
Ram truck with tailgate spoiler thing and drag radials. sounded potent. who knows if its actually fast.

if you see a cool car, classic, tuner, exotic, truck, race car, whatever you think constitutes as a cool vehicle. or hell even a weird vehicle. snap a pic and share it here.

i drove past Toprank Imports on my way home from work today (i do that often) so enjoy the JDM

Digging that 600rr.
 
They are bring the Tundra to Australia but we are only getting the 3.4-litre turbo V6 petrol hybrid. No V8 for us. Is the V6 any good?
Dealers stopped buying them due to contamination left during building. They have a high failure rate. Besides who buys a heavy truck with a 6 banger? 😵‍💫😵

The good news is this is on non turbo v6, so maybe it's a different 6 or one that's had some love early in life.
 
The same people who are buying the 1/2 ton Sierra/silverado 4x4 with a gas 2.7L turbo 4cyl. To each their own I guess... 🤮
Driving one everyday i couldn't imagine a 4 banger in one. 😵‍💫😵 he'll I don't like it in a Colorado!
 
The V6 in the colorado/canyon is decent i guess. Fairly reliable at least. It's the same V6 that's been in an Acadia since 2012 ish. Cmon GM!! You can do better.

The Sierra with the 6.2 gas is pretty spicy but the upper end is weak. Cam and lifters don't hold up. What does anymore?? I'll stick to the V8 Tundra 4 a while.

Keep in mind, all the above comments are coming from a long time gm tech, lifetime gm fan, who drives a Tundra, Lexus, and honda. 🤷‍♂️

My 5.3 is the knock knock joke champ. 🤣🤪 it's now a 4.675L 7 cylinder. Cylinder #7 died and now it has a cracked block.

Warming up it sounds rough. After it warms up I can bounce it off the rev limiter or spun the wheels. You can't notice.

The block is cracked? That's impressive. Haven't seen many of those. I'm still partial to the vortec 5.7

Yep. You can see some on the outside. And how it burns coolant non stop I'm sure it is inside. The truck was driven but never redlined or best on......... until this damage occurred and I got the keys.

It's a true platinum engine unlike Ford. The oil is silver when last changed. 🤣

Those old 5.7 were solid. The 5.3 is a disposable motor.

I think thats right around the same time automakers started telling us that ALL cars are disposable, none of us are allowed to work on them and that cars would now be spying on us.
Not a banner year for GM anyways. 🤣
