The Car Thread

It's like saying Fiji is superior to Arrowhead. Yes, it is, but not by any huge discernible amount.

Plus, the Tacoma has a superior platform, aftermarket support and overall awesomeness

it gets slightly better mileage AND has some 30 more hp and 15lbft
there are more subtle differences too...the frontier has metal front and rear skid plates while the taco gets a plastic gas tank cover...kidding me?

It needs a metal fuel tank since it sits almost an inch lower than the frame

Really though, the Nissan is a great truck for city/construction, but the Tacoma is a far superior off-road car.

wait, the one without skidplates is a better offroad truck?

Odd, isn't it? 90% of the reviews out there agree, though.

consumer reports and msn both give the frontier a slight edge for the win

My dad promised to buy me a Eurocivic when I graduate, so I'm holding out for that rather than buy my own.

Write your congresscritter and tell them to make the EPA stop screwing this up

We're the idiots who refuse to buy diesel. Hell, these days diesel is CLEANER than gas... is wrong with this country.

The car makers can't import the cars because of EPA regs.

 

[Sarcasmo]

Many of those cars are illegal in various states because of what Chikken just said.

fighting between the frontier and tacoma is almost as dumb as fighting between dodge/ford/chevy. they're not that different.

Yeah, the gay states that have California emissions.

We can't even buy the few diesel cars that are sold in this country until they have at least 7,500 miles on them

If I was in the market for a new car, I'd buy it out of state, drive 7,500 miles before the temp tags expired, then register it in MA - DUH

 

[Valve1138]

Yeah, you can't buy diesel passenger cars in Maine.

Wait, I thought the EPA eased restrictions on diesels after they made that change a couple of years ago to the fuel. No?

Nope, they are still overly concerned with the carbon emissions of diesels.

Retarded, really, cars would be a drop in the bucket compared to big rigs, trains, and boats.

ooooh! let's start a UF Nismo club.

As long as it's an ecomodder Nismo club.

And there are already ways to keep your RFID cards safe http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/security/8cdd/

Or line your wallet with a double layer of aluminium foil, but that's kinda janky.

Our new Kroger card came with an embedded RFID chip. I used a hole punch on the pair of them. :theac:
