Happy Taco day!!! Congrats to the 2017 Toyota Tacoma on the IIHS Safety Rating score card!!!

I was excited to hear the great news that my Taco did so well on this safety test. I think it should have gotten top rating though and I've talked about it on my YouTube channel. I even put my face on it! haha!

I love to blog but Vlogging is fun as well.

Let me know if you would like me to do more write ups or vids up.

I appreciate all your likes and comments on my YouTube and Instagram accounts.

Pedal Commander what? Sprint Booster what? I can feel faster just by adding a little gizmo?


I ended up picking up a Pedal Commander for my Taco. It's a doohickey that adds more voltage to the drive-by-wire gas pedals that many newish cars (2000+) have versus the old fashion cable throttle.

I loved it in my Golf R and did a video on it. It's actually my highest viewing video ever by a landslide!



My theory...and I say mine is manufacturers wanted to get the highest EPA MPG ratings they can so if a driver can't make their car go fast or they feel it won't go, they'll put less efforts and accelerating which in turns saves gas. Little did they know drivers decided to punch it all the time at full WOT (Wide Open Throttle) or simply mashed the gas! 

This has actually helped people get better mpg.

Check out my video on YouTube and see for yourself. Thanks for reading!

Holy Jim Trail - Redux ... yep.. I went back!

This time I went with friends but didn't take the easy way. In fact I went up partially what they call Jeep Hill and chickened out. I'm a noob and literally just figured out 4LO engaged properly. Yea I know..I should read the manual...or how about just the card on the visor?

Anyhow here's a few pics but the best highlights are on my video.

Please chime in with any comments.
