You should add it to the garage!

What's that think from anyway?

Great truck! When I saw the thread title, I thought this was going to be a C&G Curse thread

What's funny about a martini?

But sometimes boards like that just turn into echo chambers..... that is something I'm specifically trying to avoid with this site.

OMG! Win!

I've been looking through the site logs a bit and we have a good number of people who log in but never post. How about some of you lurkers stop by and say "Hi"? We can't be *that* scary.

Just have to get good gin. Hard to make a proper martini without good gin. tanqueray 10

Gin is good. Too much goodness can be bad.

It's only a matter of time before one of the states starts implementing those same pedestrian laws.... so might as well get ahead of the game.

Never had any problems running Ubuntu on Virtual PC2007

Cadillac seems to be updating theirs to the logo on a grey/silver pillar

I've run virtual machines on a lot less than that.

What Toyota covered up is less relevant to me than the fact that they did. The engine sludging problem in their 4-cylinders killed no one.... but that didn't stop Toyota from covering up, deflecting, and denying. The transmission problems in the Camry and Avalon killed no one.... but that didn't stop Toyota from covering up, deflecting, and denying. The frame problems in the Tacoma, Tundra, and FJ Cruiser killed no one.... but that didn't stop Toyota from covering up, deflecting, and denying. It's the pattern of bad behavior that I'm concerned with.

Yet again, you miss the point entirely. This is about Toyota's coverup.

Wait.... did you just suggest a punitive tax?

I do accelerate more gently, but I still do my typical 5 over the speed limit unless the limit is 45mph. At 45 mph you can run in EV mode for a while if the road is level.

Tach? There is no tach.

Well regardless if they charge for personalization ability or not, they should at least have a default bootup sound so that there is audible feedback that the car is ready to go.

Post pics!!

Should just be part of SYNC

Oh yea, trip home: 9.3 miles, 38.3 mpg, .3 gallons used mostly uphill, stop and go traffic with the heated seats on.

Don't you have a Miata?

I have not. Two suggestions I would make to Ford: 1. Make a boot up sound. Since I still have to crank the key to "start" the car, give me some more feedback than the small green light on the lower right dash. Extra points if you make the bootup sound programable so I can copy any .WAV file I want and assign that to the boot up sound. 2. Maybe I haven't found it yet, but a button to put all the LCDs into nightime minimalist mode without scrolling through menus would be nice.
