I don't think the flexi part is really a bad thing. The cage lessens that a wee bit. The downside of trucks for me are the increased weight, somewhat cramped room, the increased weight, not the best balance, the increased weight... and so many of them have a POS leaf spring rear axle that needs converted to coil springs.
Ah Grasshoppah...notice the mighty oak that bends in the wind. True strength is in bending and surviving rather than resisting and breaking... |

Fucktard Timmy, you're so unimportant the only reason you even get a comment is just to remind you how stupid your latest plans are. Obviously nobody else bothers to tell you. So how's the career carousel going? Gonna be a fireman when you grow up? Or a fighter pilot? Or a private eye.? Started on the ultimate killer Focus or Honda yet? |

Like essentially everything you writer Timmy, you're wrong there. and guess what, I'll give you a nice present since it's Christmas, itäs called knowledge of the world+++something you are berift of: It's far better to be a has been, than a never was---and at your rate, a never will be. Bättre lyss till den sträng som brast, an att aldrig spänna en båge. |

First of all flexy chassis are not the same thing as not durable
![]()
If a chorus is a few random people occasionally than sure. ![]() You know people meant general prangability and stronger things like wheel bearings etc but you enjoy pretending the self inflicted sand in your vagina is some claim by non existent people that trucks have awesome razor like handling and super rigid platforms ripe for super accurate suspension tuning. ![]()
First of all Tundras blow. Hardly a yardstick for measuring anything against. Second of all where's your data point for modern/older mini pickups? How does this vid prove anything about those? It's apples to oranges. Not that I don't agree that trucks are flexy just that your vid proves little about anything except how much a Tundra frame flexes. Volvos are great and they make awesome cars. But you frame your arguments the way you always do that makes even people who generally agree with you become irritated over your zealous unprovoked bloviating. Rust free 240's don't grow on trees everywhere. Some people don't want to buy a car then re-engineer 1/3 of it either. For every (mythical) chorus of people saying trucks are the only thing anyone should ever build for any reason there are 10 real choruses of people claiming you absolutely MUST have $2-$4K suspension on whatever you are running before you can even consider putting even 1 stage mile on your vehicle or else you'll explode or somehow regret it and become a destroyed dejected shell of your former self. Same thing applies for OMG you have to stitch weld every seam everywhere on the a car and chip out every oz of undercoating and have to get super duper close ratio this and high final drive that before you should even fire a single neuron off in your head about actually getting on stage. Those are bigger red herrings than the supposed truck building rally mafia are. |

Oh my god. Seriously. I used to tell Mark that he needed to get a job somewhere where he could take puppies with him everywhere. Like a pound or rescue or something. |
