Covid is responsible for the failure in this case. I understand in other bankruptcies there can be execs to throw blame at - but to assume it is always the individuals running the company (or the group bailing the failing company out) as solely to blame, is just wrong.    There have been many companies, like Hertz,…

It is super easy to flush the AHC. I have a 1998 w/ 260k miles. I bought it w/ 190k miles and immediately flushed the fluid.

I stopped reading when he said he doesn’t like the LC.    Please move on sir.

How is it more comfortable than the Porsche?   Seriously, I am curious.

except...its a Frontier......

I don’t like Corvettes from the 80s on - never have.   But seeing one of these I make me want a 91 ZR1 red on red.  What is happening to me???  NP because I am having new and strange feelings.

Yeah.  Probably.....

Suck to drive is drastic. Like over the top. I have tracked my 99 996 C2 (with factory LSD and a OEM short shift kit) for many years and it is always amazing. The handling, the steering, the balance, and the brakes. The brakes with Pagid Yellow’s will go 45min to a full hour of hard tracking with no fade - doing this…

I propose a new format:

Dude, if you think the cost to build a 4 runner is near the same as an LC, you have no idea about the underpinnings of these cars. I worked w/ auto manufactures (only U.S. ones unfortunately) for several years. Worked on production cost and profitability. All the ugly bean counting going on with parts development. I…

My first car at 16 was a 1972 Vega Kammback “wagon”. Brown with black interior and blessed with the GT package. Also blessed with probably the worst engine ever made - aluminum block and steel head.   It was my grandma’s car and given to me in 87 with a very low miles - she never drove it.  My dad and I rebuilt the…

Except you can get a 4Runner for $50k now. The LC and 4 Runner are very different vehicles. Is an LC worth $90k? I wouldn’t buy one for that - I got mine @ two or three years old. So, for me a used one is worth $65 or $70k. No other car made will handle the miles like these. My 100 has over 250k miles on it and looks…

Go to IH8MUD.com I did a writeup on replacing the speakers in 2017 - replaced with Polks. There is plenty of writeups on replacing stereos. My 470 is older, so replacing the head unit wasn’t a problem - yours with NAV will be more difficult - so you will find a solution on that site. The speakers are simple though -…

Obviously implied - but like Robert’s house, when you peel back the onion of and LC or LX, you are blessed with over engineered and overbuilt glory. I recently replaced the entire stereo and speakers of my 100, and was laughing out loud as to how things you would never see were just overbuilt. The wiring loom to the…

You buy them because the are over engineered, over built, and reliable beyond recognition. They may share an engine with the Sequoia, but is where it ends. All other parts are better, stronger, and usually heavier.

which is why we don’t want others to know....shhh...

Yes - here is the reason:

The Hummer brand was launched by GM 18 years ago - not 28. It was 2001-2002, and I know very well because the ad agency I worked at launched the brand with GM. We did the super bowl commercials and the ads with the yellow Hummer.

Having owned an 01 series wagon, I really want to - but not at this price, not from Maine, not with the rust issues and exterior paint issues, and unknown drivetrain issues.....I do love the brown leather. ND

The question is “why”? If you have ever driven a stock V you would realize they have a TON of power in stock form. There is no need to make this thing faster (and uglier, and less reliable, handle worse, oh...and uglier) - let alone by somebody’s “project”.   ND in every way.   At least the Lotus yesterday was cool....
