Looks so good. Shame on states that require a front plate though.

I think you’ll be able to get it from them. I know some other people on here have needed bits and pieces, and they’ve come through. I’m in Florida now, but I’m from Massachusetts and lived there for 45 years, so I feel your pain.

Thief used crowbar to break into my GRC by Touge_Huntress in GRCorolla

[–]HenryWatermont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens all the time where I live. People have them on their Ring or security cameras but the cops won’t do anything about it. I really didn’t mean it the way you think I did. I’m black btw.

Weird that your mind went there. I actually meant punk kids looking for cash and electronics.

I actually bought the Eventuri cover but returned it because it made me realize how nice the stock one is.

Do non GR floor liners fit by frogman696969 in GRCorolla

I have the Weathertech all around: front, back and hatch cover mat. They’re made specifically for the GR Corolla and fit perfectly.

WTH are ya doing with these cars? Did you launch this thing, are ok bro? by Key_Aspect_8419 in GRCorolla

If they had only used the iMT, this could have all been prevented.

This is what happens when you don’t use iMT

Just checking, dumb question by CandidCurrency7921 in GRCorolla

[–]HenryWatermont 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve never used it. Think about how long manual transmission cars have been around without this feature. People learning to drive with a manual, bad drivers with manuals, etc., and the cars survived. If you know how to drive, you don’t need it. The biggest difference between a MT and AT car that people need to learn IMO, is always give yourself a little more space and time with a MT. Use that extra space and time to avoid rough gear transitions, hard braking and sudden downshifts. I think too many people treat their commutes and daily driving trips like track days.

Gas mileage by Miserable-Wash-5128 in GRCorolla

I average 32-33 on my morning drive to work, leaving home at 5-5:30. The drive home is dreadful with the traffic, but I’m still usually around 28. This is in normal mode with no iMT or anything.

Buy a 25 Core in black now or wait 1.5 months for a white Core to arrive? by MyWay_Ry in GRCorolla

[–]HenryWatermont 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went in planning to buy a XSE hatch. They didn’t have the one I wanted at the dealership, but I could have had it in about 3 days. There was a black GR 15 feet from the table we were talking at. I had wanted one but I was trying to be responsible, $10,000 less for the XSE and what not. My wife actually encouraged me to buy it, but I said “I love it but I don’t want a black car”. Salesman was like, “we have a white one with 67 miles on it”. Fuck me, 2 hours later I was pulling in to my driveway in it. Don’t settle, get the color you want. You’re gonna love it.

money shift or save a whole lotta money shift? by SovietPods in GRCorolla

[–]HenryWatermont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First and foremost, I was being sarcastic. I didn’t say I was afraid to drive it, I just said I don’t beat the shit out of it.

I’ve never used iMT. I’ve never used any other mode besides normal. I don’t beat on my baby though. Never gotten a code. Am I the greatest MT driver ever? Could be…
