I seen this ad with this line in it



"too many tickets"


In simple terms, I guess it means don't buy my truck cops know it and will screw with you also. Then again he also thinks it can go 155 mph  :stopit:

I actually seriously doubt that a nearly stock 2.4l 2RZ can accelerate a 2WD Tacoma to 155mph. It takes a lot of power to do that, and a lower drag coefficient than a pickup will certainly help...

155! My a$$! He needs to stop looking at the KM/H scale. He's saying that he drives as fast as a NASCAR almost. Gosh I didn't know toyota invested that much in their aero design. Are they using this model in the super trucks? If not, they should and they need that fancy adjustable suspension too for those bumpy speedways. That guys never driven that fast in his life, otherwise he would know that I5 isn't that straight or that nice of a ride to go that fast. he's hoping for someone as stupid as he is to buy this thing. If it was that cool, then why sell it?

I bet the tiny little rims and tires greatly increase the speedo reading, or is it the other way around?  Can't remember right now but I think I'm right.

If the circumference of the tire is smaller than stock, then the speedometer will read higher than what the vehicle is actually doing.
