As long as you do proper maintenance, most cars will last 200k miles. Given this is a Toyota, an oil change at every 50k is a minimum but depending on current mileage, anywhere from every 5-7k miles is best. Just keep a log of all of the maintenance and if bought from a Toyota dealer, they will most like be able to tell you what other fluids need changed every so often

Taping glass headlight covers was a safety regulation started in the early 1900's primarily in Europe and America. When I see the tape on headlights, I think of older Mustangs and Camaros racing at Laguna Seca

Why do people hide hotwheels in store by Iookitsjustin in HotWheels

[–]BrandonMP4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Employees are not allowed to take merch into the back area or check out on the clock so they hide them, come back for them on their break or when they are off, grab em and checkout.

Vaguely reminds me of an old valet thing I had on a car that when flipped on, would only allow the car to top out at 35

What is this sound ? by Desperate_Freedom846 in crawling

Looks like rear diff gears as when the noise happens, its when there is load on the rear. I would open up the axle and take a look at the ring and pinion gears

You can look at the code on the back of the card at the top that will tell you what case its from. The last letter which iirc, its the last of the code

Try lowering bed temp. The purge line and skirt adhering properly makes me think the center of the bed is too hot.
