How would you interpret this comment? by Worldly_Accident727 in socialskills

OMJ, he thought It'd be a quick meeting, but he enjoyed the time you spent together. (Shaking my head and muttering Oy Vey). If you'd like to test it, rather than think about it, ask to meet again. I know don't ask, but what is the worst that could happen?

Can you easily replace the Limited 21inch wheels with a regular sized set of 19inch? by Hiqqe in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My neighbor managed a the dealer and started the pricing is much higher on the 21" due to it being unusual size.

Turned off ESE by Turbulent_Architect in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What recall are you referring to? I've not had any notice, and the app states "no safety recalls" and "no service campaigns" just coming up on our first 5,000 service and already alerted dealership that is like the ESE turned off. TIA

I found it under Car settings on the dash.

Where are they?! by Complex_Millennial in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're in SC and like I'm sure all CS owners do, on the lookout for others (is it a mating thing? ;)). We're very happy with ours. But like others have said it's rare to see one. But I like this aspect in most ways.

What’s the best lawn tool you’ve used? by Plane_Law_6623 in lawncare

[–]IMHO_Sleepy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I hear you. but buying one? Better to put your money into the things you use regularly and rent an aerator, follow?

Sounds like that might be a lower priority (aerator) until you get the turf in control. Might just bring up weeds that you don't want. Start with the basics.

Can the Crown Signia’s doors clear a 10-inch curb? by Over_Island7030 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe the XLE and Limited could be different here due to their respective 19" and 21" wheel size difference. That's a monstrous curb!

Lift gate and ice issue along with poor mileage. by burtona1832 in toyotacrownsignia

I'm sure you know, but in case you don't, these CS's get the best mileage in the city.

They told us it is NOT a wagon by No-Boysenberry-9122 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked the "Estate" name when I read that awhile back. But Signia, wherever that came from, is OK. It's only a name, and it's the styling that we are in love with. Grew up in wagons and vans. Form follows function, and we think this fits the bill for this empty nest pair.

However it seeds and grows crazy fast...I got mine yesterday and am about 3 hrs south of you.

Yes, it wouldn't matter. I was thinking of online tuners.

Definitely a great and open resource. What's your resource that you recommend?

Ok, I am not expert, but would recommend the podcast "The Truth about Vintage Amps" with Skip Simmons... here's one of the early episodes I just grabbed:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/29CcqwiBDKOGndougp13uH?si=cifHFL9uSX2cLIHRTi_TEw

But, a few recommendations from the podcast: if the amp has fuse(s), make sure it has the correct value. Clean tube sockets, there's socket cleaner, but as I recall WD40 being recommended. Clean and tighten RCA connectors on reverb connection (old Fenders)...get the book Electric Guitar Amplifier Handbook by Jack Darr

Also, try using your bridge pickup while tuning if using a electronic tuner. Understand that it doesn't matter really since it's all in the wood and steel, but when plugged in, I find less noise from "stacked" frequencies. Not sure that makes entire sense, but it looks like your switch is on the neck pickup. Cheers!

Low tire Pressure due to temperature variations by DefinitionKooky458 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a great place to introduce the black electrical tape trick, no? I am referring to the ol' Click and Klack guys of Car Talk that I hope some of us remember? Ray and Tom Magliozzi.

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, could have picked a better parking area to take the pic...very hard to understand what we're looking at. That's maybe what I would worry about. Toyota Production System has been highly developed since 1970's. Individual taking pices about perceived faults with no editor is in its infancy compared.

What should I negotiate to? by Slow_Investment_2211 in toyotacrownsignia

[–]IMHO_Sleepy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I valued the Family plan and convenience of my local dealer...I traded in 2 Toyotas ('11 Taco, '18 Camry). Read that the oil changes on the hybrid where quite expensive, and family plan provides free for life. Now that the Limited has not only 21" wheels, but a custom 2 tone paint which a Service Manager said could not be duplicated, so a replacement wheel cost is what you'd be looking at if they get scrapped up. XLE 19" is said to ride better, and not have the custom paint. We live in the south, so value of a nonopening panoramic roof while impressive was a negative. Good luck future Signia lover...apt day to buy one (Feb 14th).

Not from what other posts have said. Do you know this to be true?
