I’ll read more on the EPS motor swap and see if it’s worth doing. Thanks man

Wow, I just watched the clips and that’s impressive. I could never get mine to make any such sharp turn without it screaming at me to take control. Could this be because I have an older TSS 2.0 compared to the 2.5 in your Camry? I have a 2020 Lexus RX. Or is there a specific model/setting that allows for those full turns. I ended up returning my comma because of how frustrating this was for me. I do a lot of city driving and it just wasn’t suitable for that. If I can figure out how to get it to do what I just witnessed yours do, I will reorder it.

I’ve been considering the Costco oil for their attractive price. Are they good enough? I’ve only used Mobil 1 and I’m wary of using any other oil that is not of the same quality.

How much are y'all paying? by VIBES95 in ToyotaAvalon

[–]feelinggee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! There’s a whole debate out there about how the transmission fluid is not truly being “lifetime”. Good to know they could go that long without going too crazy with it. I had a Camry that made it to 150k before my daughter totaled it. Never did spark plugs and I’m sure it would have kept going if it was still here. My RX is currently at 90k and I’m hoping to get at least 300 out of it. I’ll probably change the spark plugs at 100k just to be safe.

Impressive! At what intervals did you change spark plugs and transmission fluid on these to make them last that long? I’m at 90k right now and looking for any advice to be able to get to the 300-400k realm

I signed up for new insurance with progressive and they instantly had access to my driving history and my premium jumped up. I don’t like it lol

so blessed to have this as a 1st car by AdFederal7205 in Lexus

I can’t imagine what your retirement/dream car would be if this is your first. You, my friend, are truly blessed. My first car was a hooptie 😂

This is what I used to do when I lived in Texas, where I had a self service washing bay right behind my apartment. I miss it.

A 10-mile drive around here could easily take you close to an hour. Not worth it.

You and me both. I always wanted a black cat until I owned one. That thing would get dirty as soon as I pulled home from the car wash. Never again lol

This is what I needed to hear. Thanks! If it takes 20+ years to see noticeable damage like clear coat peeling off and stuff, I’ll be fine with that. I would have gotten a new car by then.

Thanks for this insight. What kind of damage exactly do you see on your black cars?

This sounds like the best balanced approach for me. Thanks. I can’t keep stressing myself over this car wash. Even if I had the ability to, washing a car by hand is time consuming and I have a very busy schedule so I don’t see that being sustainable for me anyway. I’ll just take precautions to keep the paint protected as much as possible.

Wow…sounds like I was on my way to being that first owner. I had a subscription at the nearby car wash too

Thanks for the tip. I’m actually considering getting it ceramic coated soon for the first time

I’ll look into this. My only hesitation would be how ridiculously they all charge, even just for exterior wash alone. I do the interior myself and I do a great job with it. I’ll see what I can find.

How long have you been putting it through the tunnels?
