Soviet EV chronicles + future ponderings about sports cars

Who is your fav instructor

Jess King I’m assuming … because

She got a reduction at the beginning of the year and turned into a bitch. I used to ride with her a lot.

I mostly ride with Alex, I like his style and hip hop music is motivating to me.

I also ride with Dennis, Emma (before she got knocked up), sometimes Ben.

I was wondering what happened with the she looks like she lost a lot of weight... Alex eh? I'll check him out.

Alex was probably my favorite when the wife had Peloton. He just got me very hyped up for some reason. I recall there being one hot blond who was also

I almost always do power zone classes, but when I don't Alex and Kendall are my favorites, though Kendall left Peolton.

She has no , but is great and she's a fun blend of motivation from encouragement and thinking she'll kick my ass if I don't pedal faster.

Alex somehow manages to push and motivate through positivity. I've set almost all my PRs in one of his classes, so the results are there. I respond much better to positive reinforcement than negative and I think that helps a lot. I also really like his music selections, rounding out the entire experience.

Realized there are multiple Alex’s … which one is it ?

I find powerzone boring, but I'm going to do more so I can ride MTB more effectively. I've always done PZ with Matt or Dennis, but I've had some good rides with Kendall. Sometimes she can be too high energy though, which I find demotivating when I can't keep up.

She got knocked up, then the reduction, then a ton of weight loss. Now she just comes across as an angry bitchy lesbian. Really disappointing.

I mean … that’s what she was as well ? curious how the scissoring led to the kid… and whose kid it is … hers or her “lovers”

Yea, I share the same questions but don't have the answers. Not much makes sense on that one.

I found her to be less bitchy before, more positive and motivating. Maybe I was just in a trance

I was following a new Tacoma earlier and I think the backed of new Tacomas looks unfinished. Too much suspension and exhaust hanging down, not enough bumper or something.

Have you driven one? Curious how it compares to the current.

I have not… I have literally 0 interest in the new Tacomas. There have been many many documented cost cuts made on the new model.
I.e you lose the power rear window until you pay $5000 for an upgrade package
You lose full size spare
You lose the standard power drivers seat
Gas tank is 3 gallons smaller mpg is about 10% better


The trd off road top out at 57k now … pros now go to 67k my pro which is a 2022 was 48k.

That said ,.. the new powertrain is super low end tuned so reviews have been great. And new trans shifts great unlike the last gen. Also the top of the like tech package which is $8800 is nice … ass whistlers … power tailgate etc.

But there have also been tons of quality issues… dude lost a tranny on a new pro at 340 miles … CE issues … paint quality issues etc

Toyota will need at least another year to figure it out

IVF, IUI, etc. I'm here if you have questions on these procedures.

Yea, that's my take too. These things are way too expensive, and seeing them around they look...cheap and incomplete for some reason. I'm really curious how vehicles are going evolve. It's very possible that things are going to go downhill for a bit from here on out.

I looked at them as a possible Canyon replacement.

I might as well just get a 2012 with the 4.0L and call it a day if I want a Taco.

if most agree with y'all or what, because I think I've only ever seen one new Tacoma. as they are a very common vehicle here, like everywhere else.

Neither of the parents can nut

They already sold 80k of those piles and they hybridized versions haven’t even fully rolled/ramped out yet

the circle jerking to the 4.0 is on another level on the Tacoma forum. I personally hated it as much as the 3.5. They are not great engines and 10+ year old tacos have their fair share of issues and not the tokens of reliability as most say.

[Melon2.0]

Oh dang! I was just using that as an example of how they really haven't upgraded much in terms of capability.

That used to be the Toyota way. Same engine from 2004>2024 still around in the 4runner.
You gain reliability, but you lose everything else. They tend to be boring, coarse, slow, and inefficient powertrains. But pretty darn reliable. New Toyotas are super complex and made to a shit ass budget
