Ahhh...newbies :<)
TriStar =  what you get when you take a late model doublecab syncro and a
Carat and combine them.  Its a rare limited edition fancy doublecab syncro,
with all the power options, alloys, roll bar, etc.  Basically a truck that
you dont want to use as a truck :<)

Syncro 16" = european model syncros that came with 16" steel wheels, instead
of the standard 14" we have here in the US  i believe the syncro 16"s also
had some other suspension mods?  Per L could answer this better, i think he
has one.

FLAPS = Friendly Local Auto Parts Store, or F*ckin' Lame Auto Parts Store.
could mean either, depending if they carry the part you're looking for or
not, and the mood you're in.

syncro 12"s?  never heard of them.   maybe somethin from down in the projects
..   seems like cars down there get lower and lower everyday.. :<)
