    202 Toyota Corolla SE premium Pg First impressions video

    Thank you. You have produced a very informative video. I especially appreciate that you aren't a fanboy and give an honest opinion of both likes and dislikes. I won't use most of the tech so the SE model probably isn't where I will go when I trade my '17 LE. I am surprised that Toyota hasn't...

    What's the Worst Car...

    I bought a new '74 Mustang II V-6. Absolute junk. I paid it of early so I could get the title. I needed the title so I could junk it because it wouldn't pass inspection due to all the rust. Never bought a ford again.

    2013 Corolla roof paint delaminating

    You'll always be putting money into a house or a car. I hope it works out and you get many years out of it. As soon as any warranty is expired I always go independent. It saves a lot of money and they care if their customers are happy, or so they pretend. Dealerships are nothing but huge...

    2013 Corolla roof paint delaminating

    Thanks Supercharged for stirring my memory. I forgot all about the no primer cars. My ex had a new '74 Mustang and to save a few bucks Ford left the primer off her car. She had paint problems and Ford wouldn't stand by it. They told her it was the brand of car wax she was using. She said...

    2015 Toyota Corolla S - Carfax Showing Structural Damage

    A car today can have a lot of damage and not be a total loss (due to the value) or carry a salvage title. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the crumple zones are a one time use aren't they. They can be pulled out and look good, but won't function in a bad wreck again so this can be a major...

    2013 Corolla roof paint delaminating

    Anybody remember that water based paint on GM cars of the late '70s early '80s. I blew huge chunks of paint off a new 1978 Olds Calais in a car wash. GM gave me a hard time until my lawyer called them. They repainted the whole car In lacquer (my demand) and it held up great for me and the...

    NEW RECALL!!! NEW RECALL!!! CVT TRANNY

    Got my notice in the mail two days ago. I've bitch about that CVT since I got the car last year. My next car won't have one in I promise that. That tranny really hurt Nissan's rep and Toyota is next if they are not careful. I hope they extend the warranty like Nissan and I'll keep my '17 for...

    2014 Corolla S Transmission Fail afer update

    yes most were upgraded, but only two years later the Hurst Olds 455 with the W30 package handled right from the factory and with the exceptions of a modified Supra or Nissan Skyline there aren't too many other rice burners that stood a chance. I don't argue because it is pointless, if people...

    2014 Corolla S Transmission Fail afer update

    I enjoyed driving much more years ago when I had my 1969 mustang cobra jet with the 428 cid mill, 4 pull, 350 gears that loved being thrown into a 4 wheel power slide on a back road. Front wheel drives just don't cut it for me. Then in 1971 we started the downhill slide with detoxed engines...

    2014 Corolla S Transmission Fail afer update

    It will just get worse. They will force autonomous cars on us want them or not, and the younger generation are all for it. Man driving is boring and has been for some time.

    My First Rolla

    Maybe we'll start getting some colors other than gray, black and white on cars again. Driving down the road is like watching 1950s television. Black and white the whole way

    Wax advice

    Thanks Rob the Bob. Off to auto zone to get some before the New Mexico-Arizona trip. By the way P21 (and I'm sure it is no secret) is identical to S100 available at most Harley Davidson shops for half the cost of P21. I've used it great shine lasts a long time. It quit attracting dust after...

    I love it when you guys show me a trick or two. I always took mine to a shop. Next time I'll do it myself. The last time I really worked on a suspension the car had leaf springs in the back
