NEW, NEW and NEW

I love how everyone comes on these forums to pound their chest and speak so intelligently of themselves with subjects like "I paid xx,xxx.xx" too funny! I'd actually like to hear the numbers that folks actually see as the total financed amount. For SR5 with equivalent package dealer invoice is close to 33k, after most states tax/license you'd be close to $38 or $38.5. Your not too far off, drive the wheels off it and enjoy!

You have 1 post. Who cares what who paid, a deal is in the eye of the beholder. As a 4th gen owner, I think you all got ripped off on something that is no better in anyway (quality wise) than the 4th gen. In fact, its worse than the 4th gen in many areas.

Well there are 2 main factors here.... US vs Canada - BIG price differences for essentially the same 4R, it is just the way it goes. We in the US can not compare our prices to what he paid, only other fellow Canadians can. When I 1st posted I looked for any info on him and where he might be located as Canada did cross my mind, especially with the lack of foliage on the trees in the background of his images, then again it is the same right now here in the 'great' (cough) state of MA.

So far from what I have seen, for the most part, we have all gotten decent prices on our 4R's here. I don't think anyone has been bent over the barrel with their dealership, if they have they have not posted it at least :) There are a couple good threads of what people have paid and what rigs they have, always gives a good baseline to start from for anyone thinking of purchasing. Good ol' supply and demand plays a big part in it too, then again so does how much xyz dealership is hurting for a sale.

Enjoy your new 4R, winter is here!!!

Please tell me your not that ignorant? Who cares how many posts I have...my point was exactly that. It does care how much he paid as long as he enjoys. Sounds like a little 4th gen jealousy maybe? Good luck son.

Far from it. Thanks for restating what I said. Good luck dad.

PS Happy 2nd post!
 
Congrats on your new ride......love that color combo!!!

You just have to take alot of the remarks on here with a grain of salt.:redbrick:

Here's a good video Quentin made on setting up your iPhone. See if this helps. Thanks goes to Quentin though for taking the time to help people.:hello:

congrats on your new ride. looks great! I wish my TE had the blinkers in the side mirrors like that.

Dont worry about how much you paid for it either, you'll be able to get at least 200k miles out that vehicle without any major repairs, that in itself makes it well worth the price you paid!

What made you so miserable?
 
Using SolidWorks?

Yessir. It was, for the longest time not allowing me to enter a user defined perfectly plastic stress strain curve based on the material properties of ASTM 350 Grade LF 2 steel. Finally got that to work now Im having issues with it accepting the mating on my cylindrical faces.

Been in the lab all day.

Tried it in Autodesk Simulation it refuses to mesh as an assembly. I can mesh one part of it but it doenst like the boundary conditions that are needed.
 
*sad panda*!

Hope you get it figured out. I find it usually helps to take breaks on SW and running FEA. Are you a student?

Yea its a group project for my product development class.

Thing is, the company is seriously considering entertaining our idea. Its a ten million dollar motor/compressor/interface system. We're responsible for redesigning the interface which must remain pressurized. With the factor of safety its over 5000 psi.

Anyway 3 weeks until the semester is over. Its not necessary but it would be nice to provide them with a model that solves. Otherwise we have to resort to using our linear analysis, which solves along with the hand calculations form the ASME and API code.

You a mech e? Im a senior
 
very cool. I actually went to three years undergrad @ nyu for biochemistry and math before transferring to my home university (oregon state) to finish my undergrad in bioengineering with the intention of going to medical school. Where are you at for school?

Always glad to help!

I assume the OP was the one that left the comment on my youtube video (which I can't remember my password, so I cannot reply to it on there). Anyways, with the SR5 upgrade stereo, I've been unable to transfer contacts other than one at a time. To me, it isn't worth it. The iphone has "voice command" which is activated by holding the home button for 3 seconds. It will activate through the SR5 speakers and you speak using the mic in the 4Runner. Once it activates, just say "Call John Smith" and it will. Basically, the voice control on the iphone (and I'm sure Android phones too) is far more elegant than what is built into the Toyota voice command button.
 
Haha it was actually me =P. I'd been using the voice control on my Droid but it's sometimes inconvenient because I don't have a hot-key to it. I might have to end up doing that =(. In Oregon, it's illegal to be messing with your phone while driving so I've been keeping my phone in my pocket while voice-dialing people by their numbers, which I've memorized...

Do you think Toyota will ID and fix the problem?

Thanks again for your reply and your creative solution.


Can you root your Droid and add a button/switch widget to the dashboard? Also, Isotoner makes a glove designed for use with a touchscreen phone. My wife bought them for me. Works surprisingly well.
 
shouldnt this be moved under general discussions?? Really has nothing to do with original thread...please respect the rules of the forum.

Other than the discussion about some engineering project, most everything has been relevant to the original post.
 
Hmm I'm not sure if I'm technical enough with my phone to root it -- I want to be able to receive over the air updates from Verizon. I think I could do a voice-dial widget to my home screen, but I have to activate and unlock my screen before I get to the home screen.

Does the glove have a hole for your finger? LOL if so, I think I saw a few of those advertised and thought they looked kind of dorky =P.

I think I'll just complain to my Toyota dealership and see if they'll be able to do something. If not, I'll ask for an additional service or something small... Like a navigation system or something. Ah, I wish...

Haha, no. They just have a special pattern/material on the index finger and thumb.
