It sounds even better when you take the whole exhaust off!!!!! Just remove it all the way to the motor and run completely open! Girls will be trying to hop in at every light.

Most any car with a clutch feels that way at those temps. The fluid is just cold and thick.

You should be fine pushing it anytime. I think it just tells the transmission to let the RPM's climb higher before allowing it to shift.

Somewhere in the manual it says something about this happening. It's using the engine as a brake on the downhill slope. I explained it to my wife shortly after I read it in the manual. A while later on a roadtrip, the car did what was described while going down a hill in cruise control. My wife...

My dealership adjusted them down. They actually put the driverside one down lower than the passenger side. Now it looks a bit goofy coming down the road, one looks brighter than the other. The good thing is we don't get flashed anymore. The bad thing is our lights don't light up as far down the...

I'm not condoning this action as I would be completely irate if this happened to me, but were you taking up more than one spot? Even if you're in the back of the lot some jerks would still see you as arrogant for taking up multiple spots. That's why I park next to a curb at the back of the lot...

We use the AUX cable over Bluetooth.

I say you're fine as long as you keep up on the oil changes and wait for it to warm up like you said. These motors are made to run forever. The thing I worry about in this car is the CVT, when I'm beating on it, it acts funny. I bought the Toyota because of the historic reliability, same...

I'm not with my Corolla at the moment. Could you show us a pic of the area in question?

Wow and wow...... you drive a lot.

Fiji Blue was only available in 07 and 08 then they changed it to something else not as good. I still think they don't have a very good blue on the new ones. I tried to get my wife to get the Corolla in that Blue Crush color. In the end, we got a white one.

Pretty nice color. When I bought my Civic, Fiji Blue Pearl was the color I ordered. I've always loved blue cars.

Chevy has along way to go before they will be able to sell me another car. It's all about reputation and track record.

Sorry I can't help with the CVT question but I was curious of the Prius. I always wondered how good the heat was on them considering the gas motor doesn't always run. An older couple moved in next door to me a year ago and I asked them about it, they said the heat was fine. Sorry to go off...

This is normal.
