Life is alright. Annoying, as usual.. mainly because of my truck being screwy which I made a brief rant about. And I'm really tired. But mostly no worries. How have you been?

No, not at all. Toyota's are incredibly reliable and well made. They had an old on Top Gear and after hitting it with a wrecking ball, dropping a caravan on it, letting the ocean tide have it, setting it on fire and tying it to a tower block which was subsequently demolished it could still be driven.
American trucks/cars/whatever are often made very cheaply, have engines which could do double the horsepower they currently do if there were any good car engineers there and have interiors which make baby jesus cry. Seriously, they're full of plastic I would be embarrassed to find in a van.

You score one point with the comment about plastic, I agree. Cheap crap.
I prefer older vehicles myself.
But it's impossible to convince someone like me otherwise who is stubborn and just likes some things for certain history and pride issues. *shrugs*

Its just a pity that the same car will never produce as much horsepower in America as over here as you guys run on limp-wristed baby formula petrol. razz

I do have to agree with the plastic and the horsepower. The plastic is the reason I like older cars, at least the plastic work was done more tastefully and in smaller doses. As for the horsepower, yea, the 350 ci engines Chevy has been putting in cars for the past what 35 years, usually had between 150 and 250 horsepower, and that engine is easily capable of 400+ with some work. Hell, I have a catalog somewhere that I can order one ready to stick in a car and drive off, that has 550 hp, same engine. I think part of it is the fact that most Americans just buy a car and drive it, and the makers don't want the average idiot running around with 400 horsepower when we already have enough idiots running into telephone poles every day.
I've never been a big fan of imports don't really know why. I've owned a Camaro, a Ford-made puppy truck, and that big ugly Chevy I have now.

Right but the whole fascination with horsepower is bullshit anyway. I don't pull boats around, I just need to go from one place to the other..

I thought pulling power was more to do with torque, not horsepower? I've always seen horsepower as a measure of speed.

Both of you are right, but I mean, what difference does it make if your car tops out at 180 and mine at 120? You'll never go above 80 in your life...
