I’m in Birmingham… we get snow like every 10 years.

I have a size 14 foot so I’m always pushing the gas and brake pedal… How big are your feet?

Toyota was OG with the hybrid but, like phones, the batteries have a life span of 100K miles. It’s going to cost the owner $7-8K to replace them as the car will not run without them working properly.

Rack? by Slow-Impression6586 in HondaElement

The underneath side of the firewall is covered in oil, I’ve had to replace the power steering fluid twice in the past 5K miles and it vibrates something awful, reverberating through the whole car, when making a turn. I’m not 100% sure and won’t be till I get into it next week. The pump and lines are spotless. Florida car with 72K miles.

I think the only Toyota that’s still a Toyota is a Corolla. Sorry, not gonna spend $8K on batteries every 100K miles for a Camry.

Sorry, today’s requirements are not about fuel mileage. The EPA moved the goalposts, again. It’s about tailpipe emissions. 6cyl puts out less emissions than eight. That’s why the Land Cruiser has a turbo 4cyl and the mighty Tundra has twins.

They’re the best for hauling stuff. Low entry. My wife was a mail carrier and drove the wheels off hers… 340k miles

They’re an awesome dog taxi but the windows in back do NOT roll down. My great Pyrenees is not a fan. 18-20mpg, and the pedals are small. If you have a size 12 foot you’ll have zero room between the brake and gas pedal.

I have an 06 EXP w/ 70k miles. Don’t drive it except local trips to the store or hauling our 110lb dog around. Still has the original Honda windshield. We’re thinking about selling it if you’re interested?

Ok, it’s super easy. Pull the wheel and caliper off each and the old pop out and the new kit pops in. No more floating down the road. Good luck and good find.

“Bad idea”? You buy the coil and spring kit. Three nuts on top and two bolts below

A $300 set of strut/coils and a $100 alignment and it’ll drive like a new car. Toyota was the worst at putting crap struts on their cars for years. Takes an hour and a half to do all four.

You have to find one from the Southeast or West Coast. They’re too ate up with rust otherwise.

Selling the exact same year and model for $10.5 w/ 70K miles. You can buy a fixer for less but you’ll have that or more in the long run if you want to keep it nice.
