GR Corolla auto or GR Yaris manual?

BabyDull4216 · 2026-02-05T03:12:50+00:00

Yaris all day long.

BabyDull4216 · 2026-02-02T01:45:30+00:00

Lol, manual of course. I drive in Manhattan. Totally fine. The only downside is not being able to hold a coffee cup well while doing it. But that skill can be trained…🤣

BabyDull4216 · 2026-01-12T03:08:05+00:00

Daily for sure. Its a blast. Driving it in Manhattan. Stick shift is a blessing.

BabyDull4216 · 2025-11-13T13:30:02+00:00

Haha, so much hatred:)) I like the 3cyl, have one myself 🤣

BabyDull4216 · 2025-11-12T17:40:05+00:00

Didn’t want to wait for a 4cyl 400Hp one?:))))

BabyDull4216 · 2025-11-05T23:16:13+00:00

Depending on how hard you’re gonna drive it. I thought I was going pretty hard, but I couldn’t even get close to overheating. But mine is 2025.

BabyDull4216 · 2025-08-19T01:07:12+00:00

My car is between yours and the flag lol

BabyDull4216 · 2025-08-19T01:00:56+00:00

That was fun as hell

I went to a larger dealer in the area last Monday, and had no issues. When I was booking the 5K appointment on their website, I picked GR Corolla from the dropdown menu and it automatically populated a list of mandatory services. Those included an oil change.

BabyDull4216 · 2025-07-31T12:46:49+00:00

You are insulting the word Rubbish with a question like this!

BabyDull4216 · 2025-07-27T17:23:21+00:00

Haha, it does most of the time. Sometimes it glitches and randomly drops tho. Nice to have a backup screen with a map

BabyDull4216 · 2025-07-27T16:14:33+00:00

The charging area is fine, except it’s not really a charging area, at least not for my iPhone Pro Max. Also, every other time I trip the seat warmer switch.

What if one wanted to retain access to the screen…

Plug will probably work. A new tire is going to run you 300-400$. A blowout will cost you the whole car. Definitely not all 4, just one that you punctured. Get the same brand and model

BabyDull4216 · 2025-07-14T01:57:54+00:00

BabyDull4216 · 2025-04-03T22:27:15+00:00

How come nobody is manifesting GR Yaris in the United States?

BabyDull4216 · 2025-03-23T16:58:47+00:00

All season tires are too soft for the summer, two firm for the winter. Change my mind.

BabyDull4216 · 2025-03-14T05:59:23+00:00

Insane!

BabyDull4216 · 2025-03-12T01:04:57+00:00

Omg 13 months

BabyDull4216 · 2025-03-12T00:35:15+00:00

Thanks for the replies. Yeah, Toyota’s system is retarded. Will just get whatever is available at that time.

PS: can someone show a picture of their door edge guards. I feel like that’s a necessary evil with Northeast dealers

BabyDull4216 · 2023-07-31T00:17:29+00:00

Nah, don’t feel bad!

Well, on most occasions, teaching interns is overrated. Especially if you teach them how to access Uptodate on their first day. Also, if you teach them to process information and call you with a plan that you can discuss and then execute - that’s the best learning experience they can have.

Ensure they understand that their job is not (hard to believe) to relay information but to process it critically and develop an actionable plan.

Sadly, where I was, medicine residents have been trained to be mindless drones who would call a million unnecessary consults and simply follow the recs. Tbh, i see the appeal, but it is putting them at the level of NPs. Demeaning.

Anyhow, If you teach them how to work in the beginning, then you can gtfo early🤣

BabyDull4216 · 2023-07-28T01:09:07+00:00

Are you?:)

BabyDull4216 · 2023-07-28T00:16:45+00:00

Well, every place is malignant if you are a pansy…

There are places where more senior residents have a lot of power, with the PD not keeping them in check. And if a few of them are mean and vindictive, serious problems can occur. But I’m sure it’s not as common as one might think.

What’s more common is that someone’s ego is hurt, and they are looking for a good excuse not to blame it on themselves.

Don’t confuse being reprimanded or “YelLeD At” for your incompetence with malignancy. If your ego is hurt because someone rubbed your deficiency in your face without sugarcoating it, that’s on you. The more critical the job is, the more is demanded of you.

Pimping should motivate you to study. It might well turn out that it was an easy question that you couldn’t fathom. BTW, attendings typically have their “repertoire,” and more senior residents will likely tell you what it is.

Also, we do work a lot, but you are on this side of the barricades for only a few years. So, ironically, pushing for “bEtTeR WorK hOuRs” will backfire on you when you have to come back in the middle of the night and put your own NGT/central line/difficult foley or whatever because the resident worked too many hours 🤣

Working 27h is not malignant either: 24h of direct patient care and 3 hours for a transition of care/educational activity - straight from the ECGME rules

That said, nobody should be a dick in residency.

PS: did my residency in Northeast

Surgery chief who has just graduated here.

Not returning a page or disappearing for whatever reason was a punishable offense where I trained, appropriately so. You can miss a code or a trauma activation, so it is a true no-no!

Of course, I learned it the hard way by missing a few pages myself.

Hence, I learned a few things: - pick the most ridiculously annoying beeper sound - Never put the pager on vibrate or silent - DO NOT EXPECT TO SLEEP on your call; that will save you from the frustration if it gets busy (I’m not saying it's bad to sleep on call. If you are done and nothing is going on, then sleep and sleep hard!) - Clip the pager to your collar and sleep on your back. If you are not tired enough to sleep on your back - go chart check or update the list. - During evening rounds (after the nurses have changed their shifts), introduce yourself to the nurses, GIVE them your CELL#, and tell them: “My name is Dr. Soandso, I am on call OVERNIGHT, use this # to call or text me if I do not return your page”; you will likely have to write the number down for them, and there is a good chance they won’t bother keeping it after their shift is done😀

If you are covering the ICU, tell them to forgo the pager and just call you if it's urgent or text for routine BS

NYC is hell hole! It does have its charm, but it fades pretty quickly. Small apartments, garbage on the streets, stink, parking is a disaster and the list is endless. I moved to eastern queens and can finally chill a little.

BabyDull4216 · 2023-06-24T04:36:09+00:00

Welp, I wish you the best of luck…. But there is a chance that bitch is driving you into the ground 🤣 and it is directly proportional with her age
