It’s right there, printed at the top of the Monroney (or window sticker if you don’t like to get fancy); “LARGEST INTERIOR OF ANY 1/2-TON TRUCK.” Big, bold, in-your-face bragging. I’M BIG SO RESPECT ME.
That’s what this truck tries to say. It’s the Titan for goodness sakes. And while driving it, you feel it. I constantly felt myself warning other drivers to watch out, I was bigger than they were. Don’t cut me off, I’m HUGE. Over and over I was the king of the road and if you weren’t with me, you were against me. And for that, I had the right to crush you. That is, until I drove into a parking lot and clogged the whole thing up with a 12-point turn just trying to get into a normal size space, not to mention trying to get out.
This truck’s just too big for a city truck. It was a royal pain to drive on the small streets near my house, and while parking I often day-dreamed of those guys with the orange markers you see bringing in planes at the airport. That’s pretty much what you need for anything but the most Wal-Mart of parking lots.

Nengun Performance is a Japanese-based wholesale distributor of performance automotive parts who have been selling online since 2000. And when you get to the site, you immediately know if you are in the right place or not. This site is for that specific niche of driver who knows every single thing about his car, how it affects performance, and what he’d like to replace it with. As you scroll through the pages and pages of products, you are tempted with all the goodies and temptations, from drivetrain improvements such as the Cusco Twin Metal Cluctch, to the Amuse R1000 exhaust. Many of the products that Nengun offers are only available on the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM), including products from manufacturers such as HKS, Apexi, Greddy, Mugen, Spoon, TRD and Nismo. Nengun Performance is not for the faint of heart, or pocketbook. Anything can be upgraded here, from carbon oil pans to a Spoon carbon racing mirror, and after a while, I started thinking about my years and years playing the Gran Turismo series, however, when you want something new, you can’t just run a few laps at an easy course to pay off that turbo kit, you have to actually earn it and pay with real money. But it’s just as easy to spend.

So, earlier this week I got a call from Roger at PageOne, who informed me that after a several month hiatus, the fleet was back and well stocked, and that I’d be getting my first car of 2007 this Thursday. A Titan. I’m very excited to be reviewing cars again, and will have pictures and a review up as soon as I’m done testing it. So be on the lookout.
