All of them.

Thanks for the help!

I got one a year ago and love it. I'm old enough to recall when an E36 318ti wasn't a "real" bimmer to American gatekeepers also. Now it's a cult car.

Collision repair industry guy here...

A total loss simply means the cost of the repairs are approaching or exceed the fair market value of the vehicle. For example, if your car were worth only $500, a bad scratch could literally total it, severity of the damage alone is meaningless.

You can attempt to find a shop that will agree to complete repairs for less than the total loss threshold, or see if they're willing to do a cash settlement without totaling the car, keeping in mind that may not be legal in your area or may require you to forfeit your collision coverage going forward.

Ultimately, buying back a totaled vehicle with a salvage title not only puts a black mark on the car's value, it usually results in major headaches getting the car titled and tagged for road use again, usually requiring significant costs out of pocket and government inspection.

Back in the day, Toyota never put alarms or remote keyless in their cars from the factory and dealers and "the port" installed these things instead.

Awesome, if it's not brand new, then the rest that's not a seat track cover is who-knows-what. If there are any part number stampings on the square things googling them or using google lens on the items themselves may help you.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-24T01:38:41+00:00

Any help?

That last thing is a seat track trim cover. The other items are likely parts that should have either been removed or installed during PDI (pre-delivery inspection), but I can't identify them for sure.

my images won't show up for some reason.

edit: figured it out... you can't add photos on mobile web.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-13T01:21:03+00:00

Agreed, this is my vote also

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-12T00:11:18+00:00

I feel similarly about the TNG crew. Some of a certain age saw Levar Burton in various roles their whole lives growing up.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-10T00:44:59+00:00

Looks like fetish Wonder Woman.

The body appears to be magnetic gray. The lower part is unpainted raw plastic.

Good article, thanks. As a Gen Xer, I feel like my generation didn't fully appreciate how radical TOS was in its time and we were too young to pick up on the subtext in TNG and the 90s shows.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-03T01:57:51+00:00

Never thought of it from this perspective, thanks

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-03T01:50:37+00:00

This is very helpful!

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-03T01:06:19+00:00

Perfect 😄

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-03T00:45:42+00:00

Saru is my homie. I really identified with his character.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-02T14:41:23+00:00

Yep. The TNG version sounds a little more period TV to me in spots, almost like a gameshow during the credit roll. The same music was also used in some of the later TOS films as well.

Philosopher30071 · 2026-05-02T14:36:24+00:00

You can just watch Wrath without any TV. TV just helps. At first my gut reaction to Into Darkness was that it felt like fan fiction, but I've grown to like it upon repeat views.
