those old things had the 22RE if I'm not mistaken, the motor that never dies regardless of what you throw at it. Top Gear tried to kill one and couldn't. I'd call that a hell of a truck, I wouldn't want to be bushwacking with some junker that breaks down.

who cars.... they rusted out by the time they were 5 years old. They were an economy truck that wouldn't come close to the sales of the 'Big 3', now they pretty much are part of the big 3.

Even the cars have far more durability now being used as taxi's even.

that's the best part of owning a Honda or Toyota, having the body fall off before the motor stopped running. Hell my uncles old 88 Prelude had no reverse, over 350k and the floorboards were half rusted out so you had the road rushing by under your legs.

economy trucks can do amazing things too, you'd be surprised what one of those old Toyota's or a little Sidekick can do out in the bush.

Toyotas have always been reliable and durable as hell, it just took a while for North Americans to realize that. My old 87 Celica had 437k on it, a few rust spots and it ran like a champ til I spun a bearing from too much stopleak, which I could've fixed but didn't have the $$$ or the time (only a few months in highschool shopw tih the right tools). Hell I even beat a newer 318i in it.

The crown victoria I drive everyday has 495,000km, and i bag the shit out of it everyday. 390,000km of it's life it's been a taxi, and thats a hard life. Not to mention what the cops did to it. Any car can last that long.

PS... Corroded frames aren't durable, rotted shock towers make drivability an issue, blah blah.... good cars/trucks none the less, but they're far better now.

so dexter started his first training session yesterday, he's 5 months old now. 40lbs. he's got a long way to go, but he's got lots of prey drive.

apparently because i am so young, and the other two guys that have been doing this most of there lives want a bit of a break. they are slowly going to start training me to be a decoy/helper. basically thats the guy that gets to get all the dogs fury.

i can say i officially got bit by a real dog yesterday lol

this is basically what i had to wear, bite arm and a padded suit (which i didnt wear because the dog i was helping only bites the arm)



and you cant move while the dog is there or he is allowed to bite you. and as you stand there, all calm. the dog is barking, non stop and looks like this. and this bark isnt a, "hey look, the mail man is here"... its more like, "i am going to kill you, yesterday"

its actually not that bad. the dogs are more or less trained to bite the arm. you just have to make damn sure you give the dog the bite arm and not something else!

i had no idea how powerful these dogs were. when they approach you, they are suppose to stop and just bark at you. they are litterally 1 inch away from you and they jump up and down in your face barking... this one dog nearly knocked me over with his nose just touching me, nevermind the bite

stupid Bloc Quebecios, they've tried to get a majority in Quebec and they came close but failed, now they're just a waste of votes creating a minority and jamming up our gov't.

I lol'd that the Greens didn't get any ridings, not even Elizabeths May's home riding.

Didi anyone else watch the 22 Minutes bit before they showed the results? We had advanced results in HD til they caught on and cut us off haha.

elizabeth may ran head to head with peter mckay. taking on a cabinet minister, just goes to show what a joke the greens are.

they did win about 8% of the votes, about 3.5% more than last time around. im going to guess at least half of those votes were throw away votes tho
