I've owned this pickup since it was 5 months old and had 8K miles on it. I am an adult and I do/did not "drive it like I stole it".
Miles are going up, as it's my daily driver. I drive a convertible when it's nice out, so if the weather holds out, I'll likely be driving that.
The oil changes (with receipts) have always been done at 4K mile intervals and with a synthetic blend. I take really good care of it and it has taken really good care of me.
I'm just looking for something less "trucky" and more "mid-life crisisy".
The truck has a DJM 3/4 lowering kit on it. I was told that it had no ground clearance problems, and in the 6 years I've owned it, I've found that to be true.
As a matter of fact, it still has more ground clearance than my wife's Subaru Legacy. It's NEVER been an issue and looks 100% better than a stock truck.
I get compliments on it, constantly.
It has (tasteful) 20" wheels on it and comes with snow tires on 16" rims. Snow tires are a little worn, but might have another year on them.
It has a class III hitch I put on it and flat-towed a VW Beetle from Lake Havasu to Spokane a few years back. It does not regularly tow or haul anything.
I've included a picture of the engine for the hell of it. It's in there and has wires and hoses hooked to it, which is nice. I've never touched it other than oil changes.
C/D and A/C were all I needed when I bought it and all I need now. Both work perfectly.
It has a tilting steering column.
It has a few small (SMALL) rock chips on the leading edge of the hood and one scratch by the gas door.
I tried selling it locally a while ago, but was probably asking too much. I had a gentleman look at it and I went through all of the chips and things that I know of. He said I was "insane" and that the truck was the nicest he's looked at and would feel bad using it to work out of.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]

Wed, 20 Aug 2014

No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
