Great story along with super thought processes by all involved, thanks for mentioning this story. One minor correction, the service module (SM) is where the oxygen tanks were located.

The buzzword and in this case killer is called “just in time” inventory control. In fact Toyota was one of the instigators of this practice. Lack of supply is starting to affect some Toyota models and certain trim levels. For instance some RAV4 Prime buyers are only receiving one key fob and are being promised the…

I’m just here for the bacon (and other) socks.

After almost killing myself in a Trans Am and with gas prices blowing up again I bought a diesel Jetta. 52hp, almost as slow as walking which happened more than once. Would not start in the cold due to a small battery with a massive starter and no fuel line heater. Countless small and not so small issues, I swear it…

“Pretend” is the key word.

On the road my main goal is to avoid stomach “disturbances”. Therefore although not a big fan it’s Subway turkey with just lettuce and tomato. Mickey D’s coffee with two apple pies, and a simple IHOP breakfast. I’ll throw in 3 sugar jelly donuts from Dunkin here and there. Experience with these combos have proven at…

The RAV4 Prime whips the V6.

Bah, turbo, oil dilution issues and hideous looks. Meanwhile I’m loving my RAV4 Prime.

That whole “family” of cars basically disappeared from the roads faster than any I can remember. ND

I have a RAV4 Prime, about 5.5 seconds 0- 60 is zippy enough for me. Toyota driving aids do need work along with the entertainment system. Still loving it though.

Just don’t try catching his boomerang.

The Motor Trend channel has been running a hour long show about Gerald Weigert and the Vector.

Definitely, I lucked out and got one in a non ZEV state and it’s pretty impressive.

Slideshow is nasty but I must comment. Took evening classes at the local high school in the 70's. Each group had to do a presentation, our group picked drugs (hey it was the 70's). We made a sample board exhibit of various common drugs (the real thing) of the time. We then passed the board around and it went up and…

RIP sir and thank you.
