Is your uncle Jay Leno? That’s one heckuva collection.

Cool, been eyeing that exact Tacoma to replace my trusty 305,000 mile 1993 Toyota 4x4 pickup.
The damn thing just won't die.
Love the color "cement" - is that a long or short bed?

Love mine!

That color is my 2nd choice behind cement. Looks sweet, but I'm a bit concerned about paint fade over time with it. I tend to keep my cars forever - bought my '93 new, still driving it.
That & my wife said that I would look like an old guy trying to look young (?)

It is a bad ass color though.........

Awesome and thanks for commenting. Yeah epoxy is a lot of work and not easy to touch up to fix. Agree it’s a great addition if you have a nice car(s)/truck(s). No way I’d rip and sand it down due to the mess either. Didn’t reply to my original post but installed mine after Christmas and you’re 100% right about the mallet. I really like the color you chose! Is that alloy or graphite! You guys did it quick. I was alone for most of it but had a lot to move. And cuts around the 2 post took a few hours.

I'll keep an eye out around the Tri-Cities. I should be able to spot you. (:

I would think i may stand out a little in the crowd now

Love my Tacoma. This is my third one. Had a red 2005 4x2 then upgraded to a white 4x4 in 2007 and this one is an "inferno" color 2017. Gotta be able to haul the toys around.

Nice! I have a few myself. 05 YFZ450R and an 88 TRX250R. Love the dunes. Always wanted to go to Glamis! Been to Silver Lake, MI and Corral Pink UT.

Toyota pickups rock!
Had a nice stock 1983 SR5 4x4 22R 5-spd, then bought a new 1993 Dlx extra cab 4x4 22RE 5-spd.
About to pull the trigger on a new 2018 TRD dbl cab 4x4 automatic in Cement w/ 6' bed....

My '69 Lesabre on father's day this summer. She is put to bed until May.

Talking of new wheels, I got a deal on some a month back.

I saw an ad online for some used 20x10.5 which is what I was after. (With 20x9.5 for the front)

A car dealer had taken them off a used Lexus GS430 which he had imported. His rationale was that luxury car buyers just wanted stock wheels so he always removes them. I paid him $400 for them, and got them repowdercoated in satin black.

Turns out they are COR F1 Mesh wheels which are forged and made in Florida, of all places. They are crazy expensive at like $1500 USD per wheel!

They give the RCF a stealth look, and the satin black matches the carbon bonnet and roof.

And the dealer was correct - buyers always want the original rims so they are safely stored in my warehouse.

I lifted the table with my pinball lifter. Just enough to get the tiles down. Did each side seperately. Did not dismantle the table.

Chris

Wait, you covered up the tile, for that? Lol.

Not sure what you mean, but maybe I'm just not awake yet. We had pergo in the basement but that got destroyed in a flood, so we got the Deck Tile to replace it Or did you mean the pool table?

Chris

Mine's an 05 Yamaha Raptor 660. Lots of fun. That pic was over at the dunes in Oceano (Pismo Beach) which is only about 2 1/2 hrs from where I live. I haven't been down to Glamis yet, but that would be awesome. I would love to go off-roading in Utah too.

That's going to be a great truck! Mine's the 4x4 TRD Off Road with the shorter 5' bed. So many added features from the prior generation truck are really nice to have (navigation, blind spot and rear cross traffic alert, moon roof, powered rear window, ect.). The 2018s even get the full Toyota Safety Sense options that weren't available before.

My only complaint is with the factory programming for the new 6 speed auto transmission. It pretty much sucks with the new engine in the third gen models. Shifts way too much and makes the truck feel sluggish around town, especially if you tend to drive on the aggressive side. Toyota did release some software updates that help, but I bought a mod called Shift Sense Pro that uses the built-in ability to optionally manually shift the transmission and reprograms the shift points for you. It made a huge improvement. Here's a link in case you find the shifting annoying too. https://www.dz-custom-innovations.com/products/shiftsense-pro

After looking at all these kick ass cars I have come to the conclusion I need a better job.

Okay, but just make sure you drive the truck out of there before that cement dries.

Cool thread, combine two of my favorite hobbies, pinball and rides. This is my 1968 Chevrolet Beaumont custom. For my American friends its a GM "A" body platform made in Canada only. Its all Chevelle except it has a GTO dash and year specific front and rear treatments. Its one of 3744 V8 cars for the year. My pin hauler is a 2011 F150 4X4. I know ,I know whats a GM classic car guy doing with a ford...truth is it was to good a deal to pass up, and in fact I really like the truck. 3.7 V6 runs great and does what I need it to do. Cheers.

Nice ride! That is very unique and I have never seen one of those before. Nothing wrwong with having a GM and a Ford. It's like Having a Williams and a Stern pinball machine at the same time

Chris

Funny, never thought of it that way.I guess for time eternal is always been one or the other in the car crowd,,,

Looks great! Did it have a Vinyl Roof at one time? Beaumonts and Acadians in Canada, Chevelle and Nova in the USA. (Depending Year, and Body)

If I had the coin I’d get the Z06. Until then I’ll have to enjoy my C3. Enjoy your new ride, they’re awesome!

If you don't get the Z06, you'll always wonder.....

2 new cars added to the household since last posting. Wife traded her Audi S5 for a red Macan S in May of this year ... and I also bought her a little Z4 for Christmas. She was extra good to me this past year as I went through some major health issues.
All is good now, and I wanted to surprise her with something special!

If I was moving to the USA, I’d go with a
Corvette I reckon. The same as you ... white car, black rims (pretty much the same as my Lexus RCF you see above ...). White/Black just looks sweet on any car IMO. And I’ve seen a lot of Vettes with that scheme since I’ve been here, including one this morning. Fixed roof for me though, don’t like convertibles.

Of course, 450hp is way more HP than you’ll ever need, unless you plan on going to the track.

But the Z06 is a pretty sweet package ...

What’s the price difference?

Not recommended buying a vette, they are for old guys!!!

The new Corvettes are Bad Ass, best looking Vettes ever made in my opinion!

Right after the 60s vettes.

I concur. By far. Except for the classic 60s ones.

The new generation Vette is the only Vette I’ve ever considered buying. Even the new interiors are ok, the old ones (80-2013) are pretty awful for an expensive car.

Yesterday there was a white/black Corvette next to a new red Camaro at the traffic lights.

The Camaro looked like a truck next to the sleek Corvette. All those other American “sports cars” are huge in comparison. Vettes are 3400lbs, Challengers for example are 4400lbs. My RCF fully loaded with all the extras Lexus’ have is 3700lb, which is way too heavy for a sports car really.

The only problem with Vettes is they only have 2 seats. That’s a bit challenging when you have 3 people and 2 little dogs to get around the place.

Im a huge fan of old muscle cars but these new Corvettes just really do something for me. They are beautiful and sexy looking and fast AF!

My wife has a challenger SRT, has 485 hp its alot of fun to drive but if it were mine I would have bought the hellcat, so I vote Z06.

Mopar!

Corvette inception until mid c-3 = fantastic. C-5, not bad. C-7 (2014-now) back to fantastic!

Aside from the C7's rear end looking like a generic Japanese car, I think you're right.

They need to brink back the 4 round tail lights.

Haven’t seen too many Civics that look like this ....

Just seen this thread today, I've seen this car in Indianapolis and that looks like the Walmart in Beechgrove before it was painted. Also looks like the Lowes next to it

My old ride I turned into pinball machines
