A good clean and wax with every tire rotation (~ every 6 months) makes all the difference to me. Spray down with diluted simple green, let them soak then clean with [electric] power washer (Broad tip). Follow-up with carwash soap/sponge, dry and thick coat of cleaner/wax. follow-on washes...

I was THIIIIIIIIIIISSSS close to buying one in 2016. The deal killer that made me get another Tacoma was the insurance. I have a near perfect insurance score (Record, Credit, other typical measures). The WRX was ~$100/month versus a Tacoma of approximately the same price. Insurance guy(s)...

Cool car! Sounds like you have a good plan. Nearing 20 years old I would make sure all fluids are changed (Brake, P/S, coolant, trans, diff). If >10 years old definitely replace the brake hoses. Gas cap. PCV (+ the hoses if you can find them and/or hose out the whole PCV system with...

I also saved up a TON of points on the British Airways card saving for Concorde tickets (Even as employees unless you had >20 years you were not getting on the Concorde under $3k. WAY out of my reach). 3-5 years later again stuff happened, Concorde retired, got deployed and "Poof" tens of...

If you are a frequent traveler and someone is reimbursing you, those things are a gold-mine... However, I believe the Bonvoy [Marriott] is superior in terms of rewards (Cash back are the worst bang-for-the-buck with airlines somewhere in the middle). Macy's AMEX WAS pretty good pre-Rona ~5%...

Oh yeah: - Here in VA the tax on prepared food is ~9.5% (Increase around RONA time-frame; I think they "Sold" [forced it upon us] based on giving something to the out of work waitresses and such... for some reason it never went away. - The "Add a tip" things on the payment devises all seem to...

SLIP 2000 here on my AR, stainless 1911 and M18 (1911 and M18 slide rails are supplemented with TW25). other than $, no complaints. The little ~1oz bottle with the needle oiler is very handy. Seems to work as good as any other CLP but no smell and I suspect possibly less carcinogens. If $...

First time straying from the TGMO 0w-20 to HPL 0w-30 :oops:. Blackstone analysis is pending and I'll post one with the HPL after ~7k. Fingers crossed... (Around town driving in 100 degree heat today I THINK, MAYBE engine noise was a little quieter??? The 3rd Gen Tacoma has a few glitches I...

100% my Tacoma runs better and gets better MPG on 87 E0 ("Liberty") But same disproportionate price variance here in VA. The #'s don't work for me. Exception would be the 2008 motorcycle that I fear E10 would mess something up... I don't ride that much these days, so not that big of a deal to...

+1 This is what I use on my ss 1911 and carry M8; Stays put pretty good, does not run-off, zero smell https://mil-comm.com/tw25b/

+1 there is definitely an argument to be made for a high end everything included lease if your annual mileage is low, you don't want to get involved with any mait. or repairs liability ESPECIALLY for higher end high risk (ie BMW) this also takes away all the trade in variable/risk.

No idea if it's still around: 2a warehouse (In TX I think?) used to have drive-thru ammo by the case. That's America!

just genuinely curios (I have a 17 Tacoma 3.5 v6, currently doing the HPL ec): ? Why euro oil for a Toyota (I order the Premium PCO for my next change) ? You don't think the OEM Toyota filter cartridges are good enough?

I'm in the same boat. Risk outweighs reward 3rd Gen Tacoma, Using: Motul 300v in the diffs, Ford full synth m/t fluid in the trans and Toyota secret straight 70 sauce in the transfer case Diff gear oil may change next time, but not the others. FWIW: despite what the book says Toyota dealer...

I foresee an OJ Simpson situation where he skated on the criminal charges, but follow-up civil suite pretty much bankrupted him. (The only reason the juice didn't end up in the poor house and the reason he moved to Florida was because there was a % limit his NFL Pension could be garnished and...

smoked after working a few hours then kicking my own ass with yard work in the heat; eating alone again; nothing fancy; pasta with low end vodka sauce and Coors Banquet

Maybe if < $1k, you know 1st car for a kid has like 70% chance of a wreck.... most wrecks now = totaled, so only if the $ was crazy low, would I say yes FWIW: My daughters got hand-me-downs with at the time modern safety features, specifically anti lock brakes and traction control. (When I...

I knew of a person who did this with a cool diesel MT Land Cruiser from Africa…. Took him YEARS to get it cleared. Agreed on above vs the Tacoma. Having driven several HiLux aside from the hard core enthusiasts they would not stick. Very utilitarian. Very dated. Us consumers would not...

FWIW: one third of the reason I will probably never buy another Mopar is because of the crap HVAC. Both in terms of effectiveness and lack of even a hint of reliability. Multiple Experiences and $$$$’s in repairs soo bad would rule the whole brand out. Thats saying something.
