Eh?

Aren’t you supposed to open the cabin doors when fording to avoid the vehicle floating downstream?

Either way, I put ketchup on mine--fight me. 

I’m all for common sense, situational awareness, and manual driving.

Auto-wiper? That would be one of my footmen clinging to the roof rack and wiping the windscreen dry.

My thinking is that I simply let my chauffeur delegate a footman to cling to the roof rack and wipe the windscreen dry while I, as always, relax in my rear seat during the ride.

A sage comment, indeed.

Neutral pitch angles will bite you every time.

Merely postponed. Toyota just took 1st and 3rd in the final year of the LMP1 class after a tough race mechanically speaking.

Interesting. Mine is a 2012 V6 (around 94,000 miles) with no big problems so far, although the right rear passenger door’s fit has always been off, requiring a special effort to close it completely—Taiichi Ohno would be ashamed.

What year was it, may I ask?

This RAV4 truck owner replies:

I use my imagination and think of myself in this Toyota ...

I like odd. Fits my character to a T.

Indeed! Some have called the V6-equipped RAV4 the wolf in sheep’s clothing of the road.

When I was scouting for a new RAV4 in 2012, I came across an earlier, used model in one dealership. I was charmed by its boxy shape and the instructional decals in Japanese throughout the cabin, but the older version was too small.

Whoop-tee-doo for my 2012 RAV4 with a V6 and rugged-looking externally-mounted spare spoiling the rear air flow!

I find that my Uvex goggles don’t fog up (though extreme conditions would likely overwhelm any anti-fog coating).

Thanks—that’s exactly what I thought had happened. However, Rob has demonstrated an unacceptable insensitivity by choosing a phrase that triggers compulsive gamblers (as well as those who have had their rear-view mirrors stripped clean).
