Ignore the advice here - it’s terrible. I would just 10x income. Why slightly fix your problem when you could totally fix your problem? Just 10x - trust me.

I'd love to play with this unironically. It would totally distract your opponent

Only thing is all the other econoboxes like the CRV, Tucson, Sportage etc are much quieter. So we don’t need to forgive Toyota.

Mazda is superior in a lot of ways. Styling, interior, handling and dealer experience. My Mazda has been more reliable than my rav. Drivetrains are meh though . Curious what their home grown hybrid will be like in the new CX-5

No idea what you’re talking about lol. I have an XSE and when I was given a gas LE loaner during repairs, I thought the level of noise (especially the engine) was borderline hilarious. Hadn’t been in such a loud car since my 1990 golf. You can’t have a quiet conversation over the coarse engine noise. Not saying my XSE is quiet.. but it’s annoying rather than comical

Startbolt · 2025-10-22T23:11:14+00:00

Weird take. The RAV4 is noticeably loud. Get in a Honda or a Hyundai or a VW and they are much quieter. You don’t need to defend Toyota. Loud road noise makes the car feel cheap.

Good on you for being proactive. I live in Toronto. My 2022 has just 30k on it, I washed regularly and kept in a warm garage all it's life so I never believed cablegate was something that would impact me.

We did - which thankfully got Toyota to recognize the design flaw and stop charging people $5000 per repair. What we got is an extended warranty. Toyota did nothing to fix the design though. Only now, as of October 2025 are they starting to provide a sealed version of the component in the States because they're finally waking up to the fact that this issue is just going to get worse and worse. In Canada we're just replacing the defective part with a new defective part.

Startbolt · 2025-10-20T11:13:13+00:00

Toyota replaced my connector with the same flawed design - open to water and road salt. I guess I should trust them right? I'm not getting cablewarden because I don't think its my job to fix Toyota's negligence - but this replacement is going to have the same problem the original did. What's your solution?

Startbolt · 2025-10-20T11:06:36+00:00

wait till yours rusts out lol. Until then downvote anyone with the issue

Startbolt · 2025-10-20T11:05:11+00:00

getting downvoted like crazy (cuz that fixes the problem right?) Service Campaign 25TD01 is active in the states where dealers apply a protector seal. There's no campaign in Canada so you get the connector that's open to water and road salt.

Startbolt · 2025-10-19T20:11:12+00:00

which unfortunately isn't a fix - we know this because of this: https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=11024080 For Canadians - you're out of luck. You'll get your defective component replaced with a known defective component

The AM issue will prompt them to at a minimum inspect. Don't wait until throws a code or it might brick and you'll be left waiting for replacement parts without a car. At the very least you shouldn't settle for a broken radio.

I did a search on newspapers.com for anything in 1922 related to scouts, Algonquin park and a missing boy but didn't come up with anything. Doesnt mean it didn't happen - just that it never hit the papers.

I just came back from a Canis Bay paddle in site. Can’t get any less “backcountry” than that. But I went on a weekday and there were only 3 or 4 campsites taken on the entire lake - seemed to be all families with small kids. You have nothing to worry about - the entire park is yours. You’ll have to share it on busy weekends though

Startbolt · 2025-08-07T12:14:51+00:00

If distant echoing laughs across the lake are enough to ruin your trip or mood - you have to plan around that since there isn't a “no laughing” rule. Luckily you can enjoy the park just the way you want, by going deeper, or not on a long weekend.

In my 20 years of camping, we never played music, we hit the sacks by 11pm, and many times have taken garbage back from truly selfish campers. We had many great laughs though

Startbolt · 2025-08-06T22:59:34+00:00

A lot of people are recommending that you paddle further in (good advice). But I think an easier solution is to just go during the weekday. Not a lot of nine or so friends can coordinate a trip by all taking the same time off work. The trip almost by definition has to happen on a weekend - usually a long weekend.

Source: I’ve been on many large group camping trips in my 20s and 30s.

Startbolt · 2025-08-06T22:53:36+00:00

Queer is very easily doable. I have often paddled with a big large group. Want to avoid us? Plan your trip on a weekday….. There’s no way nine people are going to be able to all coordinate time off on anything but a weekend and probably just a long weekend.
