Um all that information is online. Google it. But I love cars so I’m always reading and watching car shit

I like going to the dealer for these. I act super interested in the tacomas and 4Runners and supras and GRs and ask to test drive any manuals they have. Rarely they even let me!

I asked them if the warranty could cover me for 300,000 miles and 30 years instead of 100k and 10. I said I drove here in a 1990 model car so I trust the brand to last that long, why don’t you? The finance lady buttoned up her shirt at that point (metaphorically). Conversely the guy who bought a warranty after me she walked out of her office to get the paperwork for him with a pep in her step ;)

My favorite thing to do is to buy the parts on the counter on my way out and install them in the parking lot. If it’s bulbs, filters, etc.

I really feel bad for the old ladies in the dealership paying $100 for a cabin air filter. The last lady I saw getting fleeced probably bought her first car for less money back when she turned 16. Then again I hate the dealer because they refuse to take my money sometimes- refused to do timing belt and valve job on my 4Runner because they said “we don’t want to be liable when our techs break something” had to snitch to corporate to get them to work on my A/C too

My 4Runner “has trouble” going up hills. Only 150 HP and takes a longer time to accelerate to traffic speeds.

The fact is most new cars these days (in US) can do 0-60 under 8 seconds and have like the equivalent of 250 HP- while being pretty comfy.

For me Toyota (including Lexus and Scion). I’m on my 5th- my fiance has one as well I’m not even counting
