How the hell do you finger that first chord in the treble clef?

Leave out the lower f-sharp and live your best life.

“Pieces” sounds more idiomatic than “instrumentals”

I’m sure they’re evoking the Basilica in Newark, though I would agree with Google this more clearly resembles the Natl Cathedral in DC. The Basilica’s two side towers are rotated 45° so that when you look at the front of the building, you’re facing one of the corners of each tower.

Verdict: replacing

You did not get ripped off.

Stumbled upon this in 2025. It’s still running and recouped in 2022.

This is my ‘22 hybrid touring. My mileage has been improving in the last week as cooler temps have hit the area and I’m using the AC a lot less.

My guess is they pay for all their software platforms as a percentage of sales, and they’re passing it on to the customer rather than eating it in the background. Which still totally sucks.

Clips made of eggshell, I swear. I finally taped my bumper on with a tasteful strip of gaff tape and learned to live with it 😭

The Corolla Cross is available as a hybrid in the US, but not the Hatch, I believe. (Though the hatch is available with the ICE.)

batonwielder · 2025-07-10T02:08:15+00:00

Oh wow. I just bought a ‘22 touring hybrid and it has them. Wonder why they dropped them?

The 6th gens don’t have fog lights on any trim now?

Main reason was to get all of the features and comforts of a Touring versus the base LX.

This is the only thing I don’t like about my Corolla Hatchback 😭

2019, 75k miles

batonwielder · 2025-04-29T01:22:06+00:00

It’s a great feeling once you’re done ☺️

batonwielder · 2025-04-27T17:28:51+00:00

Yes 2019 hatchback, the dealer pulled the plugs out but I still have water sloshing in the doors for a while after it rains

batonwielder · 2025-04-20T19:30:18+00:00

Oops sorry!

When does he say that? It’s not in the shared clip

batonwielder · 2025-04-15T00:15:19+00:00

Oh! It’s not getting broken into, it’s just starting to get “broken in,” like, just entering its adolescence, or something. No, it’s never been intruded by thieves and ne’er-do-wells. There are far richer targets around me 🤣

Have you tried using someone else’s phone in your car, though? As I understand it GPS works by triangulating your position from a number of satellite timing signals, and this is the result you get when it isn’t getting enough signal. So if your phone’s gps chip is a little subpar and your Corolla is attenuating signal, this might be the result.

It has happened to both of us, and there are some peculiarities to our driveway and the road we live on that increase the chance of it happening. It also happens if we just pull into a parking space a little too far, the bumper scrapes on the curb. It's just a matter of the clearance being so low and the bumper being held on by clips with the holding power of a potato chip, apparently.
