hmmm maybe i should lean more toward the Taco instead of the stang lol... its a hard decision... really is..

The Taco would be great for hauling, moving furniture and other MISC. things. 4 door truck.. i have NO idea what a WT-i is... maybe DOC can shed some light into the world of the Taco for me...

the Stang GT is nothing short of amazing.. with all the new features and add-ons its a great looking car.. with a mean look and an aggressive sound. adding the ford racing suprecharger there are 2 to choose from the 2nd one pushing a stock GT to around 550 WHP... which is on par with the GT500 but spending bout 20 grand less for the power.. not to mention the perks of having a dad and step mom retired from ford that can get great discounts on the car im looking at.. its still a toss up.... insurance payments go down monthly... i got quoted already on it.. fuel economy will suck... but thats a small price to pay.... especially if im thinkin deployment sometime soon.. 12 months is a looonng tiime but seems soo worth it in the end

The VVT-i is just that, variable valve timing. Most newer Toyota's, even the Scion tC has it. I use that as an example as I'm driving it once again.

Want to get real in-depth wiki-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT-i

I could ask my buddy what kind of mileage his 2k10 GT see's, or what kind of Cobalt Stage 2 taillights it sees ? JK, it's a fun car I'd imagine.

He's saying it's the same basic concept, just with a truck and not a car engine. Why don't you just google it?

By the time you can afford a Whipple supercharger with those payments over a turbo Cobalt's payments I'll need glasses like Joe's to see any sort of taillights.

Yeah? Well, I haven't seen a single damn flake of snow down here yet. It would be a nice change of pace to see some snow instead of sand like I'm used to.

I'm with you Danew. Bring the damn snow already. Only snow I've seen was the stuff on some car roofs that came from up north. Maybe I'll see some when I go to Williamsburg and finish my Christmas shopping tonight.

I applaud you for going out there. It's almost expected to have some kind of ridiculous weather condition.

I think people that are from Utah and New York would have some idea of how to drive in the snow...., so I'll let that one slide.

due to the shitty weather out, I won't go into asking to leave my duty today. I'm guessing that there won't be many out anyway.

Well, I left my house just as it started snowing. I did eventually make it to Williamsburg, but first let me share the easy things some people either found out the hard way or are too stupid to know.

1) If you're gonna move slower than everybody else, or use your hazards, move into the right lane. You're making the situation worse by even being on the roads.

2) Just because you're in a 4wd vehicle does not mean it's okay to drive carelessly. Most accidents were single vehicle, caused by cocky 4wd vehicle owners.

3) Stay in my tracks already made. Traction improves a lot.

4) Don't tailgate.

5) Stay off the phone and drive.

The cocky 4wd thing is everywhere, but I imagine it multiplied by hundred here.

How many accidents you see last night? Lose count?
