    Um... Hi

    Why would you do any modifications, especially if this is a short-term vehicle?

    Corolla Brake Problem

    I'm at 233,000 miles. If my goal is 400,000 miles and I travel 11,000 miles a year, it's going to take me about 15 years to get to that point. May get sick of the car before then and purchase newer Toyota.

    Tire Source For Your Corolla - Good Prices

    Last year I had a set of Mastercraft 60,000-mile tires installed with road hazard warranty for $350. Unfortunately, I went with Goodyear and not Discount Tire.

    Tire Source For Your Corolla - Good Prices

    Only issues are 1) I have to pay installation costs and 2) Road hazard warranty procedures are a pain in the rear with Tire Rack and 3) I have to pay for balancing and rotations. I really don't see a lot of savings in the end.

    Coolant: Red or Pink vs. Green

    I'll just stick with genuine Toyota coolant. The gallon I bought last year was from eBay for only 25 shipped. The 100,000-mile change interval is generous. I only accumulate 10-11,000 miles a year, so I'm set for awhile. Also, on my Corolla, I discovered a coolant plug at the rear of the block...

    New Guy With a Grey Corolla

    Kevin, It's often surprising how attached we become to vehicles. I never thought I'd be so attached to my car. A real friend: Loyal and dependable. Every day, I enjoy driving it and every day the thought of my Toyota breaking down and/or leaving me stranded never crosses my mind. I can't...

    Replace the Mustangs with one Celica and one Supra Stick shifts are excellent in snow, especially when rocking when stuck in snow. . .

    New Guy With a Grey Corolla

    I'm also amazed so many people don't know how to drive a vehicle with a stick shift. I taught myself on a '96 Mazda B2300. It was so easy, and it's all quite logical. Perhaps some just overthink it and get flustered. I tried to teach my roommate on an old Geo Metro (those cars are so simple to...

    Hard to find the T100 in good shape, rust-free in Michigan. Harder to find a manual transmission. Harder yet is finding a used Tundra V6 with a manual.

    Coolant: Red or Pink vs. Green

    When I bought my used Corolla with 212,000 miles, I was pleasantly surprised to learn the coolant in the overflow tank was red. The previous owner was wise enough to use genuine Toyota antifreeze. I did some research online and learned Toyota's red or 50/50 pink is the best for our...

    So, it's okay to shift to neutral in an automatic when going downhill?

    Is the T100 a manual trans? I'm more interested in the truck now!

    New Guy With a Grey Corolla

    Unfortunately for me, my mpg will drop beginning late September as Michigan gets colder. My mpg will not return to 40.0 average until May. I usually drop to 50 uphill, but that only happens once on my commute to downtown on the highway. After the peak of the hill, the speed limit is 45-50 due as...

    Speed Up Your Slow Computer!

    I just don't understand why it's always updating/downloading/checking, etc. whatever. It was an absolute hindrance. By the way, I also use Zone Alarm Free firewall.
