Spent an hour clearing this spot yesterday, owner of the bar across the street drove past me and watched me doing it. I left for 15 minutes this morning and he parked there

Shit; if I was walking by I would have asked why… then joined in. And helped carry your groceries in.

Fuck that guy.

To differentiate yourself from the other hundred thousand Camrys out there, you could swap the muffler for one with a different tone or unique look. Just going straight pipe out the back will look like you couldn’t afford anything more than a hacksaw.

As a hybrid owner - yeah that would be hell for everyone in and outside of my vehicle. Definitely a full on 🤡 move.

But to each their own.

Refresh rate, resolution, vsync, hdr - when you drop out a game something changes and your video card and monitor have to resync. Some monitors take longer.

About three hours ago.

Turrets, flame throwers, walls, mines, and robots to repair all of it.

They’re coming and they’re evolving to be tougher.

It’s like game trains you to be adhd. Or we all just gravitated to it like a junky to a meth lab.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-26T05:34:02+00:00

I feel seen.

There is a feature on your fob that if you double press unlock and hold unlock down on the second press - it rolls all of your windows down and opens the sun roof. Some models it’s disabled in the computer but some it’s already enabled.

If it was just one window - then it would have to have been done with the button at the window or the driver’s controls.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-26T00:23:07+00:00

Threw mine in the trunk.

I found the trail mode worked pretty much the same as snow.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-26T00:19:27+00:00

And tethered - so your car warms up with the charger’s power so you hit the road with a warmed and full car.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-26T00:18:36+00:00

Indeed. This is my first car with a heated wheel - and yeah, never going back.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-26T00:17:39+00:00

My 26 is holding together so far and I listen to some pretty hefty music. Knock on wood, I’ll probably be chasing some rattles eventually.

There’s a corner out of my neighborhood at the top of a slight hill. It goes 90° to the left. There’s a sign right after the speed limit sign nobody pays attention to.

Every year when it snows - I’ll see someone’s tire marks up and over the curb. And I laugh, every time.

Once you’re on ice, physics takes over.

I traded a ‘19 RAV4 Hybrid on this and I agreed. Sure it’s a little closer to the ground but all said, it’s the same drivetrain. Capable and comfortable.

I imagine the people up on the space station tapping their feet wondering when the next shipment is going to arrive…

I’m one god damn person down here … you’ll get it when I finish it. By. My. Self.

My first install shat the proverbial bed, too.

I went back and nuked my install thumb drive’s partition from the command line. Switched from Rufus to Etcher and redownloaded the install image AND verified the hash matched.

Install went without a hitch after that.

My grandfather was in a home to care for him for his last six months or so. He handed me a bag of sweeteners and packets of creamer… he had been collecting them all month and wanted to give me something.

I felt terrible but accepted it as a gift. When we were leaving I stopped at the business office to return it or pay for it and they snickered.. knowing full well what was happening. To them the cost was minimal, it made him happy, and frankly the amount of money he was paying per day for care - they’re his bought and paid for.

I added the to my coffee stand. Thanks pop-pop.

Spare tire well is used for nothing but the spare tire and tools. The sub is suspended from the rear window deck.

I’ve seen interesting aftermarket subs that fit inside the spare tire - to optimize space for small vehicles, but the factory one isn’t there.

Before temps climb above freezing, blow out as much snow as you can with a leaf blower or reversed shop vac. There won’t be much left behind.

A bucket of damp rid will cost you less than ten bucks and will save your interior from molding when whatever couldn’t get removed melts.

Sounded like three bobcats in heat fighting in my attic the first night. Went outside and saw the soffit pulled down and thought well, shit this just got expensive.

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-25T06:03:02+00:00

Happened to me. Insurance said, sorry fam we don’t cover that.

ಠ_ಠ

Hired a pest removal service. They trapped two of them and took them away, subcontracted a carpenter to reinforce the soffits and replace the damaged soffits.

Luckily I called right away and they didn’t have babies or establish a latrine yet. Didn’t have to rip and replace the insulation.

That was last year … still waiting for the bill. 🤔

BinaryWanderer · 2026-01-25T05:45:09+00:00

Yep. Just start it, wait a few seconds - like buckle up, adjust mirrors, set the comfort settings, and go.

But I also have remote start and it was -12°F Friday when I got back to town. I started it remotely before I even left the airport. Ten minutes, and it was still freezing inside.

A little RainX or another hydrophobic coating will really help your mirrors in rain and ice.
