They make cars too smart now days.

My buddys new tundra 2wd single cab wouldnt go over 40 in the quarter mile cuz he had small *** dr's on the back and the traction control (iguess) tricked the car into thinking he was spinning when he got on it hard. It was pretty hilarious

people are pissed bc they cant dyno them either , i guess they have problems tricking the front and it shuts down when it sees the front to rear speed difference.

Theirs a local guy looking for a dyno and i said whats the big deal we have 3-4 places than can dyno and then he said no one around here can trick the vehicle yet , i dont know what it takes. Maybe a 4wd dyno and thats what you get and no 2wd dynoing yet.

Two things

1. The fire squirrels have been dying to try out that new razor tool

2. I cant believe he let them cut the air bags out before he had the car inspected by insurance or a dealer.

Insurance wont touch it since it was a "racing" event. Personally I would limp it home and call them and say it happened on the way to the store avoiding a dog but thats just me.
