I swear they are a different breed these days, even hardwood logging trucks usually thank me :-)

Lots of young blokes drive those V8 utes, they do down here anyway, they get off on the rumble just like we all used to. I don't know how they can afford them.
They're a good product, but I reckon way overpriced and too much old tech.
I don't know if it's just me, but most cars that overtake me are Toyotas, they all seem to drive 'em fast. But I do remember when I had a 2005 Camry as a work car, it's 100kmh was GPS'd as 100kmh. Most other cars I've driven are set to up to 5 kmh under 100.

I must admit, my nether regions will tingle when I hear one of those Yota V8's. Lovely sound.

It's very normal mate! Only need to seek help if you get the same feeling from an exhaust-modded 6 potter!

Spot on, 6ers just don't do it.
Mate had a V8 petrol Cruiser, that sounded great, even the old Rover 3.5 V8s used to sound good.

Was more thinking of the dorks in their commodores who flog around the neighbourhood sounding like a fart in a milk bucket.
