AT first I thought you said Cannibis day. I was thinking finally, something I can inhale that makes Toyotas look attractive. I saw them building this when I was out there.

^ like I said; no reasons. ? - - - - - Merc’s Wrist-Twist was not a steering yoke, as it did not rotate, only the rings did.

I was kinda hopin' for something else

Dad picked up a brand new Encore GX, white. I like the red accents on it. Traded in their Cruze sedan, nothing wrong with it and the miles were still pretty low (in the 50s), but wanted something with a little more room... and height.

We all need to start somehwere....

Water tower for Plover, near my old home town of Steven's Point Wisconsin. Thought of Robert Hall and his small Dogs...

All I know, from the facts presented, is that Toyota is still well above average in the reliability and recall area.

My inlaws celebrated 60 years married yesterday.

But Toyota is just ”average” in reliability lol. Listen. I get the hate for them. In the realm of design, latest tech (outside of their hybrid tech), and power trains, they are lacking beyond belief. They are, for the most past, boring as hell and inspire very to no enthusiasm among the “enthusiast” crowd. However, none of that changes the fact that, overall, they are built to last a long long time with minimal expense compared to the competition. Thanks for posting that @David. I did indulge. You’re just not paying to attention to the simple facts. You set the criteria for reliability by stating that too many trips to a dealership for recalls means it is not very reliable. I showed you where it happens more with most domestics than brands like Toyota. You sidestepped that by calling them “no better than average” when that’s clearly not the case. (Again, 9 recalls on ONE trim level GMC to 0 for the maligned Tundra, for example). However, I think David covered nicely on this page with the data above.

Standard procedure, either in case of a crack, or in building custom frames.

This is a very cool story and proves that Tesla and their blathering CEO is idiots about the history of companies that already did cool things like the yoke on the Tesla S Plaid that came out on a Mercury 5 decades earlier. Mercury “Wrist-Twist” Steering Tried a Tesla Model S–Style Yoke in 1965 (motortrend.com) Plenty of reasons and more from better tech to less complexity and maintenance. Quieter, faster, better balanced with a lower center of gravity for a lifted SUV and a hug FRUNK! Plenty of reasons to ditch the old stuff for better newer stuff.

I am more than happy to convert my 1994 Suburban to a BEV. Time to leave the smell and mess of ICE behind.

No need to flush all that money- it's grandfathered. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Since you guys started this discussion, I go by the numbers, so had to see what they were. If we go by the reports, then this is the list of longest lasting auto's going past 200,000 miles. Longest-Lasting Cars to Reach 200,000 Miles and Beyond - iSeeCars.com

Except that is factually not true. Like them or not, they are above average reliability and have been consistently so for many years compared to companies like GM and Ford. They are not "no better than average" and it can be proven again and again. Sorry. Not praising Toyota here but facts are facts.

Yeah... but it burnt to the ground FASTER THAN ANY OTHER SEDAN!!

This is a video of the north end Lite Rail overpass that is going in by my neighborhood. I am less than 1/2 mile away from this north. The lake seen is the local lake here in Mountlake Terrace. More pics here if your interested in what the area looks like and our lite rail that is going in. Fresh pics: Lynnwood Link rising along Interstate 5 | Sound Transit

Yes, a hearty Happy Canada Day greeting to our Canadian members - and Canadian members we don't see much of anymore - from those of us, such as me, who like Canada a lot!

You were really wanting this: Poor Mustang!

Happy Canada Day! At the same time Go HABS Go!

Les Blue Blanc et Rouge to be exact. Les Sainte-Flanelle if you will! He re-did the song for this year. As much as I hate this hockey club, I got teary eyed listening to this song. Im really proud of my city. I love Montreal. I must admit, I still am a Montreal Canadiens fan deep down inside. He re-did this one too.

Beaver What were you expecting?

I would never even consider gutting my vintage vehicles; there's literally no reason to.
