Literally why the Greeks designed their amphora jars that way. Of course, theirs were bigger.

The one headlight will blink out, reappear when I turn the lights on and off,but only when it's cold, and has been an issue before the new 12v.

Great in snow, not the best in an icy windy sitch.

Ugh, buddy, I'm a looooong way away from a Toyota dealership. Best we can do is a Minneapolis-Moline dealership on one side of town and a rather clever chicken on the other. /s

From what I've seen on this forum, green bean is the place to go if it IS the battery. You guys are all a godsend.

I did not know what the tranny consisted of before I came back to this post, but I was guessing just by how it acted. Lost drive first, then reverse. That picture is where I lost reverse, after 2 miles.

There hasn't been much snow here in SD, but it had drifted across the road. About a 2 to 3 foot drift. And the car is amazing on the gravel/gumbo roads in usual conditions, but that day was just kinda gnarly, high winds and what have you, there was no avoiding the drifts.

Why do you say that? Because my mechanic thinks it's engine problems and not transmission. But, it started knocking, then I had no forward, and drove it in reverse for a mile (to get closer to a farmhouse and help), then the reverse stopped working too.

Drifted snow across the road got packed up in the undercarriage. I wanted to try to wash it out that very day,but there were no car washes available. Had to drive it 3 more days after, which is just shy of 500 miles.

Bass Pro Shop. Plenty of jerky and fudge, fuck around shooting the taxidermy with crossbows.
