    Toyota Economic Loss Settlement

    Hey, have not posted in a while my 4r died last year. I got a check for $49.85 yesterday and was curious how many other people have got one. I assume it was because of my '05 4r or my wife's old '05 rav4 or both.

    Another Blown Head Gasket

    I needed something more practical and cant really afford a huge car payment right now. I drive 50 miles/day so the 28mpg is nice.

    Another Blown Head Gasket

    Yes, that was the case. I felt guilty at first, but if they had taken the time to do the comp. test they would have known themselves. Any normal person prob. would have wasted the $600 on the injector only to have the problem come right back. I would never even consider selling that car to a...

    Another Blown Head Gasket

    I can do basic maint, but this repair was way beyond my comfort level. The local shop said it was at least 20hrs of labor. My 4r was right at 127,000 when I traded it in.

    Another Blown Head Gasket

    My issue started a few months ago with a rough idle at startup. It lasted a few seconds then stopped and the engine ran fine. Then a few weeks later the rough idle lasted a bit longer and the check engine/vsc/atrac lights came on. So a quick diagnostics scan and it came back with the dreaded...

    What car / truck would you buy if you spent $20k - $25k?

    Funny thing, I saw the title of this thread and the first car I thought of was a IS250. I always liked the way they look however i have never driven one. I also like the RX330-350, I tried to get my wife to test drive one before we bought her Rav, but she refused. Her exact quote "we are not...

    Doomed Italian luxury cruise liner Costa Condcordia

    The captian of that ship is an idiot, he deserves any punishment he gets. I am doing a cruise in march on a Royal C. ship, thinking about springing for a balcony for the first time. I have cruised Princess and Carnival and enjoyed both for different reasons. Anyone have an opinion if the balcony...

    St Louis MLB fans morn......

    I am sad to see him go, but I think it will be for the best. The amount of money he wanted would have put a strain on the Cards who are still considered to be a small market team. The Cards will be fine especially if some moves are made with the extra money now available.

    Best iPhone 4 car mount for T4R?

    Check out proclip.com, I bought my sat radio mount from there. It works and looks good. My iphone sits in the ashtray as well.

    stuck pads to rotor

    Are you referring to the entire brake assy (pads/calipers) are rusted to the back of the wheel assembly? If so, try pb blaster on the 2 bolts, and or a breaker bar on your wrench. I just changed mine a few weeks ago, they were a pain but I got them loose.
