My 1st truck was an 86 toyota truck w/ the long bed AND extra cab (A VERY RARE FIND from what I hear, with the good ole 22R engine). I regret the day I sold her with 220k on the clock I bet she's still going...

I have some GREAT pics of work trucks I wrecked..... none my fault and none I owned.... lol

Nice bikes, blaziken! That suzuki isn't quite so nice anymore, eh? Dam... that was a hell of a hit!

Micheal, that's what my Dakota had in it, too.. the 3.9Mag. I guess it did suck some gas, now that I think about it....
My dad had an S10 with a 2.8L, I think, and he hated that truck bad. I've heard the 2.2 (or 2.4?) and 4.3 were much better than the 2.8, but I've never driven the 2.2 that I can remember.
Interesting stories, btw...lol..

Stunt, I've been wanting a new Tacoma for a while now. I like the 4dr longbed TRD. They're pretty sweet. Have you heard anything bad about them? I'm like you, I can't really afford a new one, though. 28k is pretty stiff...
Sucks about the Celica. My buddy blew up a '99 and Toyota put a new motor in it for free outside the warranty. I've never seen a company do that.
Only other car I've seen hydrolocked was actually a '92 Toyota pickup that a guy drove through a river after he found out his wife was banging the neighbor. LOL...
Toyota replaced that one for free, too! (although it was only 9months after he bought the truck brand new)
He blew cylinder one to pieces.

thanks lads,,I think
i got out of that and walked across the road to a car that was stopped
lol, then i hit the deck

2 punctured lungs
3 broken ribs
head cut from left eye over to the back of my head
left arm and leg is all cuts and grazes
right knee and elbow,right hip black and blue along with the F.J's
was 8 days in ICU and off the crutches in 10 weeks
still soar to this day with acute pains in right hip,knee and elbow,,
i just take a few pain killers and get a bike run in,and ache the next day.
as for the ching! ching! the insurance don't wanna pay me for injuries because its someone else's fault,and they were uninsured,,,, so it'll take many years.
it's taken over 2 years to be exonerated myself, we've a cruel policeing system
still i'm on my feet and healthy enough to get by,thats the main thing.

Dam, blaziken... that's tough.

A couple of my buddies went through the same thing several years ago. Some guy ran a stop sign and plowed them. One buddy broke his neck, one broke his arm and pelvis (and was ejected), while the third has had serious back problems for years. The guy that hit them had insurance, though...

Holy hell, Hawk! That's almost $112US.
I guess I'll stop bitching about how it costs me around $45US (27p) to fill my jeep's 18gal tank.

You know why that is, right? It's two different divisions who don't even know where the other one offices. One is directed and trained to kiss butt and one is directed and trained to stiff arm.
