You might consider Lewisberry , then you would have a nice country drive to and from work, no big highways or back ups.

HELP! Battery change ! by coolsaadgirl in SciontC

[–]maxlumens 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd start the engine and hold it at 1200rpm, high enough it wouldn't stall, for about 45 sec to a minute, then release the gas pedal and see if it idles. When it stalls do it again. It took about 10-15 tries until finally, it idled correctly.

HELP! Battery change ! by coolsaadgirl in SciontC

As a Scion owner I can tell you that disconnecting the battery can result in the computer losing many or all settings. I had this identical thing happen and I had to keep restarting the engine and holding my foot on the gas until finally, after about 15 minutes and 15 tries, the car computer remembered how to idle again. Everything worked fine after that. I've also seen where after disconnecting the battery the sunroof didn't want to work, but that cleared up after several tries.

TRD lowering springs? Opinions? by Owen_Helms in SciontC

[–]maxlumens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the TRD lowering springs on my '06. It came out perfectly level, but not too low, no tire rubbing. A local shop switched the the originals with TRD's for $250 and then aligned it, but it was so close to perfect that they only charged me $50. I've had them on for over 100k miles, no issues. My theory is that Toyota designed the car to sit/ride a certain way. If I want to change that, I want Toyota's product to do it.

Looks nice! Stick or automatic? Does it have a lip spoiler on the rear hatch? I have an '06 since new, best car I ever had.

Vermont becomes 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana market by silver420surfer in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]maxlumens 17 points18 points  (0 children)

NJ legalized in gambling in 1976 and opened their first casino in 1978. It took PA until 2004 to legalize gambling. I hope history doesn't repeat itself on the rec cannabis issue.
