  • Toyota 50th Anniversary: A Brief History of Toyota Trucks
    Toyota Motor Sales was founded in the U.S. in 1957, and in the 50 years since Toyota has grown from a small Japanese car company to one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. The history of Toyota is the quintessential rags-to-riches story, and a big part of that story is the growth of Toyota trucks. Toyota's 50th anniversary seems like a good time to tell the history of Toyota trucks in the U.S.
  • Is Musician El Pity Responsible for Argentina's Drug Problem?
    More and more of Argentina's young people are becoming addicted to drugs, and many feel that musician Cristian "el Pity" lvarez, leader of Argentine rock band Intoxicados, is the source of the problem. His lifestyle, his music, his well-publicized drug use, and his iconic influence have placed El Pity at the forefront of drug culture. El Pity has been personally struggling with drug abuse for a long time, and he always tells his fans not to make the same mistakes. El Pity has always said that he does not think it is ok for anyone to do drugs. But to many people El Pity's warnings against drug use don't match his actions.
  • Diesel Engine Maintenance Basics For New Diesel Owners
    If you're new to diesel engines, there are quite a few things that may come as a surprise to you. First of all, diesel engines generate tremendous amounts of torque. This allows them to tow or haul thousands of pounds of materials or equipment, and they can often accelerate very quickly even when loaded down. Yet despite their incredible power, they are surprisingly fuel efficient. These qualities of efficiency and power may someday make diesel engines more common than gasoline engines, but for now it's important for any new diesel owner to know that diesel engines require more maintenance than gas engines. In fact, failure to perform these essential maintenance tasks could result in your diesel suffering major engine damage.
  • A Geometric Twist On Graffiti: Eltono
    The word "graffiti" is often associated with vandalism. However, for modern street artist Eltono, graffiti is just another word for art. That's because Eltono's work can be found painted onto buildings and walls, in the same places one would expect to find graffiti. But don't be fooled -- Eltono's work is more than just graffiti -- it's modern art.
  • Get Approved for a Car Loan After a Bankruptcy
    Filing for bankruptcy, while often a good idea, is usually considered "financial suicide". In fact, a lot of people believe that bankruptcy will lead to 7 years of bad credit and embarrassment. Some even think that they'll never be able to buy on credit again.
  • Toyota Tundra vs. Dodge Ram
    I've driven both the Toyota Tundra and the Dodge Ram and compared not only the features of the trucks but also the specs and my impressions of both trucks. While I didn't compare every aspect, I have highlighted what I believe are the key differences between the trucks. I encourage anyone thinking about buying either truck to drive both of them and to read as many reviews as you can before making a decision.
  • Toyota Customer Service: How to get what you want.
    Few things are more frustrating than having a problem with your vehicle. In fact, there's a good chance you bought a Toyota because you thought that it wouldn't have any problems. Unfortunately, even a Toyota has the occasional issue. But what about when your Toyota car, truck, or SUV has a problem that isn't resolved to your satisfaction?
  • What you need to know about the new Tundra's exhaust.
    Toyota made a fast truck when they resdesigned the new Tundra. The 5.7L V8 has 381 hp, making it a good truck for hauling and towing. But a lot of people will tell you that you should modify the factory exhaust system. You should only consider it after you've learned the facts.
  • Should I use Synthetic in my Toyota Tundra?
    This is a question I hear all the time — "I just got a new Tundra and I want to treat it right — should I use synthetic oil? If so, should it be full synthetic or synthetic blend?" Unfortunately, the answer is complicated. Generally speaking, because synthetic oil has fewer impurities, better properties at high temperatures, slightly better viscosity, and it is more resistant to breakdown than regular oil, synthetic is better for AN engine. However, whether or not it’s better for YOUR engine depends on a few things.
