Oh yeah, also wanted to update... Drove her from Pittsburgh to Dayton OH and back last weekend. On the way there, I averaged probably 70-75 MPH and got about 18MPG. On the way back, I set my cruise at 64 MPH and let everyone and their grandmothers pass me and averaged over 22 MPG. Holy crap...

Finally took Betty in to get her ball joint replaced (still under the recall) and also had them rotate and balance all four tires because I had noticed she vibrates at higher speeds. Should have done that last month. She drives SO much smoother now. Life a different car. Creeping up on 60K...

Considering I bought the vehicle used and it's my first Toyota, yeah, the book has been very helpful. Sorry I'm not the savant you are. How the hell was I supposed to know what "ECT" button did?

No, I didn't see any on ebay. I would have rather had a new one anyway. Can't agree more about they should have had the manual online. No reason to not offer that in this day and age.

Step 1: Call Toyota - 1.800.622.2033 Step 2: Wait for manual to arrive in mail! Hopefully this information can help out others. I did a pretty thorough google search to find this information and came up empty. Finally went to a Toyota dealership and they gave me the number. Took about 4...

Whoo Hoo!! Got my owners manual yesterday. Pretty good service. Ordered on Wednesday and delivered on Saturday. Went on my first road trip yesterday. Averaged about 16.65 MPG mostly all on highway. Is that pretty standard?

Ugh....I don't even want to think about it. '94 Pontiac Grand Am. Freaking thing was a P.O.S. A lot of that was probably my fault though. :)

thanks everyone! Any advice on where to get floor mats? I also didn't get the retractable thingie in the back. Anyone know what I mean? What do you call that thing?

Thanks. I stopped at a Toyota dealer today to have the car inspected and it got flying colors. It turns out it was originally purchased at that dealership and has had all it's service performed there routinely. They had a complete history of all service issues. They said I could buy a new...

Just got back from the dealership a bit ago. Drove home in my new ride... Sorry, I will post better pictures later. So, I'm new here, but I assume I'm going to become quite a regular. I'll be seeking out much information and advice in the coming months/years. First off, can anyone...
