I wonder how similar the 1zz-FED is to the 1ZZ-FE that was used in Corollas, Matrixes, Vibes, and other cars. Wikipedia tells me the connecting rods are different, and they were built in different factories, but doesn’t mention anything else.

“Rough” and “shabby” are really a stretch; the thing is mostly just dirty. That many miles on a Toyota is barely broken in. Give it a good cleaning, do something about the seats (recover, reupholster, or just replace; there are only two of them, after all), and I’d DD that thing so hard. NP all the way.

Oh yeah, I have one of those houses too.

You’re right. But it’s still fun to complain about, which I am also free to do.

I like how you kept your costs down without actually compromising anything that matters. I wish the previous owners of my truck had thought like you do. Instead, they thought like this:

Yes:

I’ve never seen this procedure in my repair manual.

I enjoy it. It is basically what you described, but I like looking at the cars, and sometimes the dialogue is funny. It’s also nice sometimes when I want to watch something short; most episodes that I’ve seen are less than 20 minutes.

Wow, fully half of that top ten list is made up of GMT 920/930 SUVs.

To be clear, this trade war isn’t about the Chinese government vs. the US government; this is governments vs. people.

“What the company, a spokesperson confirmed to Jalopnik, is its brand.”

Amazing. This kit uses so many POOPs, and still comes out looking like poop.
