Getting ready to rumble.

 

Im so jealous (again) did the tire shop give you anything for the stock tires, or did you just outright buy the nittos?

 

Very nice Bob!

Man, that would be a sight to see all those gawkers swerving to catch up with you.

Glad it came in today.

Those tires look great!

I bet you will be doing lots with it tomorrow.

And guy's, please quit posting in Bob's profile in the link.
I axed about 5 replies already.

 

nice! so shiny and new!!

 

Ditto that and then some!

Congrats to you! It's not everyday Toyota drops a bombshell like this. Not even the Yaris gets so much attention, it just looks too common place.

How are you dealing with the visibility, I sat in one the other day and it's pretty bad, you can't see your blind spot at all (especially if there are smaller cars next to you). I guess it'll force you to drive smarter 24x7 (which is a good thing). Update us!

And just in case you don't like all the buttons and you'd like to give it away, I call dibs, you know where to find me!

The above is what I posted in the other thread, on which my post got axed. Apologies for not realizing earlier.

Anyways, I still banned you in the "Ban someone here" thread, you deserve it! Oh and if it changes anything, you are my first post in that thread!

But we all know I am just kidding!

Enjoy your purchase.

P.S. Empty your Inbox, it's full!

 

$200 trade-in credit, very fair allowance.

 

Thanks for sharing! Details about the ride, handling, feel, etc, please.....

Congrats, it's beautiful! (can I say that?)

 

YES. ITS GORGEOUS

 

Gosh, that's kind of like asking his wife to go out with you. Both of you. What the heck is up with you people? You got some problems or something? Gawk, blech, BOO!

j/k

Oh yeah, ditto again

 

Thanks guys. I don't consider visibility to be that bad, but I drove MR2 Spyders for a couple of years here (top up 7 months) when all I could see through the rain spray were SUV bumpers. I have convex mirrors I'll be gluing on tomorrow, though.

 

More long-winded impressions to follow. With only 15 miles on the clock, it's too early to form any yet. Give me a few hundred miles and a week or so for the raves and rants (if any) to begin.

 

Oh, all right.....now, hurry up and go drive! Have fun. You'll get stopped at every corner....

 

This will help deflect those gawkers!

 

Awesome Bob! I wouldn't mind one myself.

Hey, is that a cross-under pipe I see in this pic?


It looks a bit exposed, but it could be just the camera angle or some other part. Just curious.

 

Thanks Christian. That's the pipe alright, but it appears to be around the height of the cross member directly in front of it. It appears better protected than the Tacoma exhaust from what I recall.

 

Some more shots from a morning run up the Gorge.

 

Nice pics you added today Bob.

Pretty nice cargo container too.

 

When did you order it? I'm wondering what the wait time is...

Cheers,

Paul.

 

Paul, I got in line a year ago. The actual order was placed on the first available order date in early January for February production, March arrival. Corey's order goes in Monday for the May build, June arrival.
