Going on 22 years of owning my Tacoma. That said Mine is a small 4 banger and the engines in those are insanely simple. No timing belt, plenty of room to get at stuff on the engine, parts are dirt cheap, and that’s it. 260,000 miles and it just goes and goes. Its too bad Toyota stopped making these smaller sized

I’m actually on my first American car ever. I owned Toyotas forever and still do. But the Chevy Volt I bought 4 years ago has been amazingly solid. I dare say maybe better than the Prius it replaced.

Congratulations for taking my comments entirely out of context and juxtaposing your own.

It looks like a butt.

Its sort of annoying that this old and outdated attitude still exists not only in other countries but in the US as well. Its also annoying that here we will very happily buy whatever damned car from wherever all day long, whether its a shit brand or a good brand. And the weirder and more unusual the better. But yet in

Ironically the radiator in my Brother’s Avalon had a “GM” Stamp on the cover.

I’ve owned 4 vehicles with plastic radiators and actually all of the others in my family are plastic as well. Its all about the quality of the radiator itself and of these, none have ever cracked or otherwise failed. My brother’s 98' Avalon had 310,000 miles before he sold it, my Dad’s Tundra has something close to

When does this end? When will I be able to open up any news site and NOT see that the current admin hasn’t done yet another god-awful thing? Its like the shit just keeps getting worse and worse and worse.

Do they? Of course not. He’s an asshole and they are seemingly just as tickled to let this stupid carnival continue, day after day. On a daily basis he says the most immature, childish bullshit and totally gets away doing it. Why? Because the GOP LETS HIM. They are more at fault for this than he is.

You’re missing my point. Tesla is a TINY fraction of the size of BMW. Furthermore, BMW doesn’t have an excuse just because they have too much on their plate. For example: GM. So just a little over 2 years ago GM said they too would have a 250+ range EV, which turned out to be the Bolt. And now its been on sale for

That’s easy for you to say but then again if making an EV luxury car was so easy then how come Tesla has been literally the only automaker to have such a product on the market for going on 5+ years? How come every other year BMW/Audi/Mercedes/etc etc HUGE multi-billion dollar car company struggles to even get their

BMW hasn’t built anything yet and Tesla has been producing a legitimate luxury EV for years now. So while it might be easy for you and BMW to say that they will surely be better than Tesla.... why is it taking them YEARS to even come up with a idea as to what they’re going to build in the first place. Say what you

There’s quiet a few Bolts at my office now and honestly the cars look pretty good and I might even dare say “normal”. Its actually one of the nicer looking EV’s out there. The Model 3 to me sort of looks like a fish with that strange front that’s squared off where a grill might have gone.

Sorry but with regards to the Bolt you’re not really making an accurate statement. The Bolt, which has been on sale for almost 6 months has the same EV range as the model 3 but yet costs less. Oh- again- its been on the market now for 6 months, which means by the time the model 3 finally comes to market the Bolt will

I get a sneaking suspicion this will be just like every other more recent GM car ( aka- Cadillac, Corvette, etc ) where no matter how good they are people will ignore them and continue buying the same cars they’ve always done.

Replacing the timing belt on my Brother’s 98' Avalon. Jesus Christ. You have to dismantle half of the car to get at the thing. We spent 2 days solid doing this. We lacked a air wrench or a torque wrench big and long enough to get the shaft pulley off. I welded one out of scrap metal and that took both of us pulling on

What’s up with Trump’s picks in that so many of them look like drunks?

Got a vasectomy 2-3 years ago. Now I am so very glad I did.

Where in the fuck do these evil shitheads come from? Its like the absolute worst in humanity was chosen for the highest positions in the land. And here they are, proceeding to legislate or rule upon some of the dumbest, most archaic crap that most Americans don’t even agree with. That somehow a tiny extremist right

Seriously one of the best things I’ve read here in years. You deserve some brownie points for sure. See? There’s still good in the world!
