Can't tell if this guy is trolling or for real. Either way, I laughed.

That's 100% real. Unfortunately.

Good thing he got those "lower guard thingies" to protect his car since he's so low...

Started here @ Stoneridge Mall where the east bay's rally for today's Santana Row Croissants on the Row began. However, as the caravan rev'ed up on 580 East approaching Castro Valley, I suddenly just found myself exiting Redwood Road. So I ended up here...Grizzly Peak. Heaven.

BTW; 100|OCT's Cars and Croissants on The Row @ Santa Row 9a - 12p.

Just rented a truck to move my toolbox. Tacoma with TRD intake/exhaust and Bilsteins!

And yes, the brake dance does work on Tacoma

So who ever sold him his car lied to him. If you listen, Kevin says it's a 2015...but it has a pole antenna.

Heard something coming from my driver's side front tire after work!

Just one? Last month, during a trip down to Santa Barbara, I came out to my car and passenger rear tire had 3 screws. They were able to patch all 3 holes. Just make sure to take it to a high rated tire shop and you should be good. Also, monitor it regularly just to be safe. If you need a PSS in 225/40/18 lmk, I have an extra with I believe 85% tread left.

I don't know if anyone else with an exhaust does this during cold starts, but when the car is in the high idle cold start routine, if you rev to ~3k and let the revs fall, it makes a loud POP sound every time as the revs fall.

I did this today like three or four times in a row while my car was in it's cold start high idle mode. Just kept blipping the throttle up to about 3k and letting it fall and each time there was a dramatic POP backfire sound as the revs fell and hit the ~1k mark.

Eventually high idle mode stopped, and as I pulled away I thought to myself "Man, I fucking love this car!"

If you want more of this backfire, have an OFT around, and a bit more fuel to burn, check out these tweaks made on the OTS tunes.

Happy revving!
