Can you post a link to any of them?

I did that once with a 2001 Corolla. I got spooked by almost hitting an animal. It was perfectly fine 10 years and 100k miles later, but I don't recommend it. The car fell apart eventually, but the transmission ran perfect. I think they've been designing them with fail-safes for like 20 years now.

If there was a simple plug in play upgrade (2 mounting bolts and 1 wire nut to make the change), I'd buy it.

Yeah, that looks nasty. Very nice of him to warn us. Not everyone would post pics of that.

I ran some tests, and the high revving when using the cruise is not engine braking. When the car need to slow down, it uses the same system as the brake assist, meaning the car actually applies force to the brakes pads, just like the brake peddle does. The high revving actually happens on flat...

Here are some of my sources. I hope they are right: https://www.quora.com/Is-engine-braking-when-going-downhill-bad-for-automatic-transmissions https://www.drivespark.com/four-wheelers/2018/engine-braking-good-or-bad/articlecontent-pf83928-025078.html...

That's not how it works. The higher RPMs come from the wheels, not from fuel. That's why a Prius creates energy from braking. It does not mean engine wear, but it does mean less brake wear.

Will Toyota will offer way to upgrade TSS-P to TSS 2.0? Since these updates are almost certain to save lives, Toyota has a ethical responsibility to offer this update if it reasonably can be done. The owner should pay for the upgrade, I'm not talking free, Toyota can make money on it, but it...

My 2018 Corolla came stock with Toyo Proxes 4 PLUS tires. I guess I got lucky!

I just checked and the 2018 Corolla is #1 out of 21 compact cars. And #1 out of 33 for small cars. And it's not a small car.

Why would you want to do this? Wouldn't headlights will make it harder to see in fog, compared with DRL or foglights? https://www.wikihow.com/Drive-Safely-in-Fog

Keep in mind mpg is better when it's warmer, so given the time frame it could be the temperature rising that gave you better mileage.

So not Mobile 1 then? Super isn't a Mobile 1 oil. https://mobiloil.com/en/motor-oils/mobil-super/mobil-super-synthetic

They might have some the 2018s are trying to unload. The 2019s come out this summer.

Cops like seeing that you applied the breaks when seeing them, it shows you respect them, which is really important to them. They already know you were speeding, due to their radar.
