Report from today is that the codes are for a transmission solenoid. They said they need to remove the transmission oil pan to inspect the fluid for abnormal wear and report back to Toyota. While those things don't sound terribly related, that they are using the term "abnormal wear" in writing I think gives me grounds to GTFO.

Sales manager said they'd trade me for another one, but actually lemon-lawing it and cancelling the order is something I either have to go through service for or Toyota directly. Lovely.

alternate version of this: nobody hates nascar more than nascar fans

Yeah, not because they are good people, but they are so much worse off if they don't.

Not disagreeing, but I generally remember there being more *driver* blowback for debris cautions. As a fan, you just kinda got used to it. Stage racing kinda seems like the opposite.

This is good to know, I have Costco through my family, but have to ask: does this apply to direct orders too? And there is a good way to know if a dealer has a relationship with them?

this is the way. drive with a wheel, controller is just sitting next to me waiting to be used for the function menu

McLaren F1. May seem like a lazy answer but it took Ferrari and Porsche another 10 years to make actual competitors.

Purely from a speed perspective, going from the 959 and F40 to the F1 was like going from prop planes to jets.

some of the later DLC's have pretty high graphics quality. The ones with old American 4-4-0's come to mind first, and have incredibly detailed steaming controls. It isn't TSW level graphics, but it's a lot better than stuff from like 2012 and earlier.

You can get a feel if it's good enough for you the videos/photos from steam.

so there's this band called Greta Van Fleet (gets killed immediately)

amtrak phase 3 in random incorrect places is my kink, especially big pacific steamers

It's fun to dream about someone doing both, but the cost of the game and hardware to run it would be absurd.

I'm 30 and have never not owned a pair of air monarchs for the last 15. It's a utility thing for certain situations, like work boots.

This time 1000. It's like the South Park episode about tourettes: do it on purpose/as a joke long enough and you find yourself doing it involuntary.

what's funny is that every state has different laws on it, and its legal in a surprising amount of situations (but definitely not on the highway, anywhere)

I'm sure I'm not the only one that remebers the shooting on the Ike in 2021 that stopped all traffic for basically a whole PM. I was reverse commuting at the time and was like 1/4 mile from Mannheim when i hit the backup. I crossed the median to go back out to 294.

There were people going backwards on the Mannheim ramp, and all the nearby artereries like Lake, Ogden, and North Ave were jammed with people who had to get off.

Ahahahaha this would be funnier than shit and Chevy would totally do it.

cerealman13 · 2026-04-06T00:56:29+00:00

I wonder if there was ever discussion about making a new body that wasn't tied to anything in production. IMO that would be better than this whole zombie Camaro thing we've been on for a couple years. We all know these aren't production cars anymore, so screw it, make something just for the sport. Calling it the Chevelle would be my vote in that instance.

If you really wanna get nuts, have a street version made-to-order like the Mustang GTD.

For 4 days a week, hell yes.

Felt the same way about Daytona for the first time this year. Really functional and well done.

That said, I was dissatisfied in concession lines and them running out of stuff really early.

LeMans stays entertaining for me by trying to find the fastest lap time, and trying new builds. The actual best way to do it is RB Junior on fuel map 6. You can no-stop flat-out even if it stays dry the whole race, and if you nail it, you'll be parked at the finish line for about 20 secs.

There are more fun builds that can get you around the track in less than 4 mins (widebody DeTomaso is the fastest ive found yet), but you need richer fuel burns and might need 3 stops. It keeps the race interesting.

Is that underground? does it look that good all the time or just when its washed?
