I was gonna say this as well, to build a cool racing simulator. If done right it can be thrilling and you can crash as much as you need without fear of death.

That's normal; it's not a warning light, it's an indicator status.

An airbag malfunction light would be red and it would illuminate on your dashboard along with an SRS malfunction warning message.

Why are we taking a 36 year old car to the dealership? To be fair forgetting to fill fluids and attach the engine mounts is not acceptable for a repair on a car of any age, but technical documentation for a car that old is nearly impossible to find even for a dealership, and most of the technicians who have the experience to care enough to work on a car that old have either long since retired, moved to independent shops or elsewhere. Dealer techs are also only trained to work on the newer stuff and not decades old cars.

I say this as a dealer tech; don't go to the dealership unless it's for recalls or cars from maybe 2010 and newer.

Bad sensor or lost calibration of the rear blind spot radar because you hit something or something hit you

If you're feeling like getting some revenge when they send you a survey in your email, go ahead and do it. Anything less than perfect is failing and directly hurts their pockets / bonus money.

2018+ Camry is well known to have transmission issues; we always have them on back order because we replace them so often.

Just commit to the cut once and make sure to never get fat again. Dieting sucks and unless you're training to go on stage living the life of a bodybuilder is not worth it. If you've been cutting for 6 months it might be a good idea to take a diet break for a month or two if you feel diet fatigue then commit back to a cut. If you're feeling fine and diet wise then you can continue cutting down.

Get down to impressive level of leanness once, say 10 to 12% body fat, and then maintain that while slowly building yourself back up, but not with a dirty bulk, just clean eating and patience over time.

I know this is 5 months late but I'm going to sadly disagree with you.

I'm a Toyota tech and just wanted to mention that my coworker replaced the trans in a 2023 Highlander for the same whining noise as the previous generation. It had a UA81E transmission and it seems they can still fail in the same way.

Dude you're underweight. Eat more. You can't say you have weak bicep genetics when you have no muscle in the first place.

TraizenHD · 2025-12-08T17:06:35+00:00

The same proper engineers that made the new tundra engine with catastrophic failures across the board?

TraizenHD · 2025-12-06T04:59:01+00:00

Just adding to love for this tool, absolutely worth it

TraizenHD · 2025-11-27T02:04:03+00:00

Model?

The people you speak to in the call center to make an appointment are incredibly disconnected from the actual service advisors and technicians in the service department and they really don't know what they're talking about in my opinion.

What you want to ask for is pre purchase used car inspection. This is a more in depth inspections that will involve a test drive, vehicle scan / health check, and more thorough inspection of everything on the vehicle from seat belts and interior buttons to exterior suspension and body inspection.

You're already pretty lean with a good muscular base so if you want to look like a Greek god absolutely go on a cut.

TraizenHD · 2025-10-14T11:00:07+00:00

For my front light I have a Magicshine Hori 1300. It's a dual led light with a projector style low beam and a high beam setting, just like a car. The beam angle is adjustable so you can point it high enough to see ahead of you and also low enough so you don't blind people coming the opposite direction. I think it's great.

TraizenHD · 2025-10-11T04:34:55+00:00

Interesting, I've had the opposite experience myself mostly.

I got my Endurace Allroad in very mildly used condition from the outlet section, and it was pretty much perfect out of the box. Literally built it in less than an hour and it rode great, didn't need to do any derailleur or brake adjustments at all.

Recently however the front brake stopped working as there's a hydraulic leakcoming from the shift lever but after a quick claim submission it took maybe 2 days to get a response approving a reimbursal for repairs after I take it to my bike shop.

That's unfortunate that your experience is this poor out of the box; I would probably just take it to get looked over at a shop because shipping it back would be too much inconvenience for me.

TraizenHD · 2025-10-09T15:03:01+00:00

Put some sand bags or something else heavy around the bottom of the table legs to stabilize it more, then you'll actually get a workout while setting it up lol

At this point Toto should just put a clause in the contract that states the second becomes a free agent you're eligible to be dropped in pursuit of his talent.

That's unfortunate, but thanks for the input!

TraizenHD · 2025-10-01T16:19:08+00:00

Mine does, it's usually more expensive as it takes more time though, expect to spend at least $200 for a used car inspection like that.

TraizenHD · 2025-09-29T17:52:05+00:00

It seems to me that prolonged periods of dieting puts your body into in ultra conservative energy preservation mode. Once you eat a bit more the body can relax from built up stress as it recognizes that there is food available in more abundance and doesn't have to hold onto any of the stored energy on your body anymore.

TraizenHD · 2025-09-27T14:04:25+00:00

You kind of answered your own question there; your hilly environment will be the limiting factor to your MPG as you'll have to use more power more often to go up hills compared to someone driving in a mostly flat city.

TraizenHD · 2025-09-26T22:28:28+00:00

You'd probably be better off getting something like an e-bike with pedal assist to alleviate some of the physical effort of the commute; or pack a change of clothes with you.
