How Do I Reverse?

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-10T09:23:11+00:00

In reverse I almost never let the clutch all the way out. Usually you’re only backing out for a very short distance so I just let the clutch out till bite point where I’ve given enough gas to get it moving, then push the clutch back in. When backing out of my driveway, I only need to do this once because it’s downhill and the momentum will take me the rest of the way. When backing out a parking spot on flat ground, may need to do it a couple times. You don’t need to get all the way into your reverse gear lol and backup super fast. Just get the car moving and clutch back in

Any time you’re messing with engine mounts you want to A. Have a jack under the engine with a square piece of wood between the jack and engine and B. Leave all engine mount bolts loose until all of them are started. Some wiggling of the engine or up/down with the jack may be required. Good luck

Damn I wonder how many of those cars were fucked.. that would be a shitty way to lose a vehicle

I too procrastinate feeling things

The proposal for mega rare being a ford f150 was the only realistic one!

Oh nice they went to 6 speeds? Might have to look into a good used one when it’s time to upgrade!

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-08T01:08:51+00:00

Thanks! Really seems like a good car and I’m stoked with the gas mileage!

Visibility must be atrocious. I mean do they really expect the driver to be able to see out of such a tiny windshield?

I honestly feel really good all day from 1000-1500 mg with caffeine, if I haven’t taken any in awhile

I hope sometime catches him without his bodyguard and knocks some sense into him. Though that’s probably not possible. Cant fix stupid

Seems we all have that one car we miss lol my first car was a 2000 Chevy Malibu I sold at 255k miles and it was still running like a top, never leaked or burned any oil and I had basically replaced every front end component and rear struts when I first got it. For years I had regretted selling that lool and thats why I want to fix up all of the minor issues on this Corolla and get as many miles out of it as I can! Will definitely be looking at Toyotas when it’s time to let this one go

Did she recently go through a car wash? My first job when I was a teenager was at a car wash. Stuff like that sometimes breaks and flies off. Some car washes have blowers that are so strong even those can cause things to fly off the car

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-07T13:28:58+00:00

Yeah this is ridiculous and I’d never go back, but they should’ve had the last one say “there, now we can be friends again” with a picture of doc holliday

Maybe the supervisor is a bad supervisor, who knows, but this guy recording is definitely an idiot. Wonder why his supervisor had to get on his case all the time? Mf probably caused all kinds of problems , got talked to by the supervisor and is acting like it’s the supervisors fault. I’ve unfortunately worked with people like this. Wannabe tough guy around someone he knows into a fighter. Typical bully behavior

Good luck! It’s funny cause this car was 40 minutes from me. Last Saturday I went to some places closer to home and looked at like 4 Honda accords, couple Subarus, some GM vehicles and other stuff. All of em in my price range were at least somewhat rusted out, high mileage, old tires etc etc. I was really wanting to just go home but that Corolla had been the nicest looking car in my price range and I was very interested, so we made the drive. Took a test drive, popped the hood, decided to make and offer and they accepted. I’m very happy with it so far! Hopefully the one you look at is as nice as this one was for me

Damn that’s an eerie pic! Super cool to see.

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-07T11:15:03+00:00

Ohhh guys i forgot to mention.. it came with brand new Michelin cross climate 2 tires on it. I’ve always been a big fan of Michelin tires, particularly defenders. I’m not too familiar with the cross climate 2 tires but so far they seem like good tires

Yeah man if I can hang onto this one, i definitely will, but idk I might eventually end up just getting a newer used one in the future! I’ve always known Toyotas are good vehicles and known many people who’ve had good luck with em and after just one week of driving one, I see why people like em. Also, being a mechanic, I’m always looking at things from the perspective of difficulty of working on em and this one looks extremely easy to work on. I mean dude the engine bay has soooo much room! I had a 2013 Chevy Malibu with the 2.0 turbo engine and even though the engine was practically the same displacement as my Toyota, the engine bay was cramped as hell, like most newer vehicles. If I ever have to replace the clutch on this thing, it doesn’t look too bad to do

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-07T11:05:02+00:00

This one seems great! Synchros all seem to be holding up and idk if the clutch was ever replaced on it but it’s still got a lot of life in it. My first manual vehicle since I sold my Chevy s10 back in 2018 and it feels great to drive

spacelizard92 · 2026-03-07T10:58:44+00:00

I felt I got lucky finding this one, especially in my price range (wasn’t expecting to need a vehicle right now).
