    Duratrac question

    Hi all, I ordered a set of duratracs for my 4R. When I got the conformation email it said "commercial tire". The place I ordered from, Town Fair Tire, had three different duratracs listed. The ones I bought, load range C, and load range E. Are all duratracs considered commercial? Thanks in...

    Super Bowl XLIX

    Seattle has a great defense. They only allowed 15.8 points/game in the regular season compared to New England's 19.6. However the Pats improved to 19 in the playoffs and Seattle fell to 19.5. Both teams averaged more points/game in the playoffs. NE went from 29.2 to 40. Seattle from 24.8...

    Italy travel help!

    Sounds like you're going to have a great trip! I've been to both Rome and Venice. Before I went to Rome, I took an Italian class at the Boston center for adult education. That was a lot of fun and made going there easier. If there is a similar place near you, you may want to consider taking...

    New England B.S. Thread

    Alex and Grey, thanks for replying. I might head down in the next week or so to get the permit. Was there a movie you had to watch to get the pass? Where is Pilgrim Hill? Is that right near the lighthouse? Thanks in advance, Jim

    New England B.S. Thread

    Have any of you bought a pass for the over sand at Race Point in PTown? I was thinking of doing it for this year. I went there last year a couple of times and got a ticket the second time for not having a pass. Driving on the dunes was pretty cool and it was nice to be able to park right next...

    What hobbies do you have?

    I like to ski and travel. I've combined the two for some great trips: Colorado, Utah, France, Switzerland, Alberta, British Colombia (2 times), California, Nevada, Italy and Quebec (4 times). All over New England too. Also done a few great road trips out west. One in a Cadillac and the other...

    **How To Change 5th Gen Factory Wiper Blade Inserts - Pictorial

    This was very timely. I did mine yesterday. The guy at the dealer did the switch for the refills as I said I didn't have faith in them. Took him all of 30 seconds. Took a lot longer for me to put them back on.

    VSC Saved Me

    I finally got my 4R in the snow tonight. In a parking lot I thought of this thread and figured I'd see what it would be like to use it. Pretty cool stuff! Glad to know it's there and what to expect if ever I really need it.

    New England B.S. Thread

    I went to Freetown State Forest with a friend yesterday. We mainly stayed on Copicut (I think). It was a good time and neither of us are experienced off roaders so we stayed on the fire road type areas. For those of you who go there, where do you enter? What trails/roads do you do? I looked...

    Don't be shy! What was your first car?!

    I got my first car right before graduating high school in 1986. It was a 1981 Celica ST. Don't think I have any pictures. Remember having a lot of fun with it and experiencing all the freedom. Had it for about 2 years. After getting hit I got a 1984 Celica GT hatchback. That was an...

    Oil change and oil filter O ring

    The end result was the first dealer, Route 44 Toyota, detailed the engine bay (without an appointment or calling first) and gave me a check for the out of pocket expenses. I'm satisfied and will continue going there for service.

    Jeff - I appreciate your reply about the two O rings, will definitely speak to dealer 1 about it. On a side note, I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts and hope your spide bite clears up soon. Froggy - thanks for that link! Very interesting that it seems like the same issue I experienced...

    Oil change and oil filter O ring

    I asked that it be towed to the first dealer and was told they only tow 25 miles or the nearest dealer. Thanks for your answer. I just wanted someone else's opinion before I seek recourse. I can't imagine they'll balk on reimbursement, it's the cleaning I'm curious about.
