Post pics and discuss Yotas you own(ed) or wish you owned
Share tech advice and tips, when asking for advice remember it really helps if you include year, make, model, chassis code, where you are in the world generally speaking, and any other relevant details like engine type if it's engine related, etc
Complain about rust, teach newbs how to wrench, laugh at muh truck engine, brag about your high odometer readings, and bask in the general greatness that is old school Toyota!

My question is, will it run better if I disable 2 cylinders, balancing it out, or just disable the 1? and if it will run better with 2 disables, which other one should I disable? the one of the opposite end of the engine or the opposite side of the firing order?

What’s wrong with Japan?
I have a shorter commute than I used to, and am making more money to boot. When my car experiences it's next catastrophic failure, I am considering going and getting a full electric.
Electricity is reasonably priced as my electric company has a program that rewards you for shifting demand with lower electricity prices per kw/h. Even peak hours are decently priced.
My commute is 25 minutes one way compared to 45-50 one way.
For long trips, my wife's car is viable. If I need to tow or haul something, I have a '95 F-150.
>used cars too fucking expensive right now
I need a new car so I can get to work.
Why did this have to happen now?
Who else has been driving here recently? And don't tell me you're a califag, that's extremely cancerous.

What performance car should I buy for the weekends? its going to be new
Maximum budget - €250,000
You can see your score in real time.
If everyone had this, there would not be so many assholes driving like maniacs around.
What else is out there, I cant think of anything else. Will be daily driver of course.
Ff
i need a new truck and theyre all expensive as fuck but i found this 2007 chevy with the 5.3 engine and 4l60e tranny with 350k miles for cheap
I test drove it and it drives like new, interior is spotless and its an ltz so it looks really good. Exterior is also pretty mint, according to the owner he used it for his business and its all highway miles, and he replaced the original tranny like 8 years ago at 200k miles.
should i seal the deal? i feel like its a great deal, but is it just gonna blow up soon?
hpdm
Meaning out the door price is $31,733.
What a second, why the fuck does adding tax cost 6 grand? Sales guy tries to change subject and point out that kbb price is $29,000 so I'm getting a great price. I repeat, what are the extra fees?
1495.00 inspection fee
1999.00 "certification fee"
You are charging me 3500 dollars to check that the car is in good condition?
Well we have a buy back program so if you have any problem with the car, we will buy it back.
Yea I don't want that, just take that off.
Sorry all of our cars have these fees, this is nonnegotiable.
Ok thank for your time, have a nice weekend.
OK fine, what do you want to pay for this car? What is it going to take to get you to buy this car right now? I want it off the lot tonight. Give me a number.
$400/mo for 36 months.
If I get you this number, you are gonna buy this car tonight?
lol no. maybe tomorrow bro.

I fucking hate cars so much I hope Henry Ford is burning
>go see a $10k Toyota, get there, woman showing me the car gives me the keys, huband tells me I’m “not allowed to test drive it because even the dealers don’t let you”. Husband and wife literally argue with eachother infront of me on whether or not I should be able to test drive it.
tell him that I hope he has a prenup because his wife’s going to divorce him because he’s a giant fucking baby, leave
>go see $7k toyota, get there, guy tells me that he took insurance off the car so i cant test drive it, ask him how he expects to sell a car for $7k if people cant test drive it, leave
>go see a $8k toyota, price “firm”, dinged up everywhere, mirror is attached by duct tape, not visible in the ad, drive it, find out duct tape mirror doesnt adjust, rear window doesnt go down, tell her i dont want the car bc of those issues, she asks me what i would consider paying for it, tell her i wouldn’t even offer $5k, leave
>go see another 7k toyota, confirm with owner over text that it passed mandatory state safety inspection, get there and he says its not certified, tells me if i want to register it, i have to pay the certification. Read him the text where he said he would do it, tells me “its like that, take it or leave it, there’s an Indian couple coming at 7 to buy the car but i’d rather sell to you”, tell him he has no grounds to be racist if he cant even understand basic english in a text, tells me to get the fuck off his property, leave.
Why is it such a nightmare? I’m not buying $1000 beaters. I think I might just go to the dealer but I really don’t wanna pay fees out the ass. How do I clear out any Time wasters before going there?

It's a 2.3 L DOHC inline 4 that was rated at 180 hp. Sounds pretty based to me, but they're old as fuck. Are they even slightly reliable?
There's been an influx of motorcycle riders here (specially women), the difficulty of the road exam was lowered due too many failures and it is now accident heaven since every retard is on the road now.
a youtube video showed me this illustration but i dont really understand the physics of it
i get that the combustion process of burning coal creates energy (heat) which is transferred to the water which is then transferred to stream which then creates pressure which is what drives the crankshaft back, turning the wheel. However as soon as the crankshaft goes back far enough to where the steam gets released into the exhaust, then what drives the crankshaft forward again? like where does the force come from to push it back into position? The video i watched just said the wheel turned it back, but how is that possible? like how can the wheel just "turn back?" wasn't all the energy used up already to put it into that position?
Any additional energy / pressure from the stream should just flow out because the exhaust is open, right?
sorry im a smoothbrain
every time i drive it and stop after 15 or 30mins, the heat rises up for a bit and it goes back to normal. should i worry?
Audi-newer models are very comfortable as dailies. I've driven a SQ8 for a week and it was the most comfortable thing I had ever driven. I own a less comfortable 2019 S5, and use it as my daily.
BMW-Very fun to drive, sedans are not comfortable and SUVs are kinda overpriced. Older models were very unreliable but nowt anymore. Used to own a f10 535i xdrive and was constantly having issues.
Bentley- drove a early 2000s convertible once, did not like. ugly interior but pretty nice little buttons and gadgets. Don't know much about newer models.
Mercedes- my first car was a 1997 Sl500. Felt like a real boss driving that around in my high school days. Very good quality, however, after 2003 most mercedes cars are shit quality compared to before. the newer ones (2021 and newer) are even more shit in quality. It used to be a baller car, now its just the status symbol tool for obese sheboons and bonqueeshas.
Aston Martin- God I love these things. They would come in to the dealership I worked at and they are so fun to drive, especially the convertibles. Made you feel like james bond. Also mostly driven by old white men, which is something I like. you won't see niggers driving this.
Porsche- Best manufacturer oveall IMO. The SUVs are basically rebadged Audis, but the 911 is the best thing to ever exist. I have owned a manual 2009 Carrera S since 2014, and I love every bit of it. Will probably sell and upgrade to a 2021 manual carrera s soon inshallah.
Ferrari- words cannot describe how much I love the new 812GTS. Not very comfortable but very fast and sounds really good with the novitec exhaust. Also driven a f430. sounds very good in tunnels.
Maserati, Cadillac, Lincoln- Fuck these brands all my homies hate these brands
Feel free to ask me questions about other euro luxury cars, I worked at my father-in-laws porsche dealership for 3 years and drove every car you could imagine.
Silverados/Sierras, Tundras and Ford F-series never caught on as hard as these.
I finished my 3rd lesson yesterday but i cant figure out a few points
How do i know somebody can go frist? Shark teeth point at them but they are somehow still allowed to go first. My teacher said if you see their neck or face they are allowed to go first
Why does he say i have to stop infront of biking lanes in gear 1 but he keeps saying to me keepit rolling?
Why does small roads to my right are first choice above me?
Im still a bit confused about the rules of who goes first and where to stop
When i start the car it starts very slow unlike other cars on the road, but when i press down gass in gear 1 it goes BRRRRR wich scares me. Shifting to 2-4 is no problem but when i sometimes try going 4to5 i accidently go to 3
Pic is inside of my car that i bought for my mom (not learning car)
why are bikes now making 200, 250, 300 hp, when 99.95% of riders could barely handle a 100hp machine?
Meet at 9:30 at Fresco San Jose

FAQ:
Can I bring my gf / dog / shitbox?
>Yeah as long as you don't make it anyone else's problem
How fast does everyone drive?
>There's a slow group, fast group and medium group.
Common Convoy Etiquette is expected.
Bring water and an FRS radio.
Also any tips and advice would be appreciated.
What are my options?
I'm thinking Koni STR.T or shill me some
wouldnt this be able to turn performance street cars into daily drive cars and vice versa?

What the hell is this? Gen 1 CRV. From time to time when I put it in reverse and then accelerate it makes a very loud PING just like an M1 Garand clip ejecting, just lower pitched. Coming from the middle to rear of the car. It's very loud and has had some passengers ask about it. Sometimes it happens as soon as I start to reverse, otherwise not until I start braking. Sometimes it's very loud and sometimes a bit quieter, like in the clip above. It's just the sound, I don't feel any grinding or anything. Seems to happen more often when I reverse after my car having sit for a while but I am not sure that this has anything to do with it.
What is going on here? Thanks in advance anons.

What I am into? So besides it gets stuck on max. wheel turn are there any serious dangers if I hit the fender on damper compression?
>f10 528i 2013
Or
>f30 330e 2016
They cost about the same and have the same output of power.
I'm thinking of getting whichever is more reliable, or at least cheaper to wrench on.
Which one should I get?

>Body Control Module blocks your path
Every single time you charge and drive your cuck mobile, the battery degrades by a measurable amount. That means the range you're getting next months will always be less than the range you get this month.
>b-b-but I'll just swap out the battery pack
No you won't. You'll throw it away buy a new one like the bugman faggot that you are, just like you do to your smartphone every year. Go look up prices on EV batteries and get back to me.
This is exacerbated by the fact that when you drive in hot/cold weather, use heat or ac, every accessory draws power, your range is going to be laughable a few years into your ownership and you'll be looking to get another disposable cuckbox to drive to your diversity coordinator job at globohomo corp.
I drive ICE vehicles that perform every but as well as they did 20 years ago. They get the same gas mileage, they work exactly the same as they did before with maintenance. Because of your gay bugman sensibilities, you will gladly pay a subscription fee just to exist so you can have the latest firmware and onions latte maker in you cuck mobile.
Batteries are a shitty way to store energy, and it's going to be fun watching you faggots bring the copes when your gold cart starts getting 40 miles per charge and you start zapping out in traffic jams with your a/c running.
What are your favorite companies or companies you'd recommend for new truckers?
What's the colour?
Is the spoiler a standard porsche one from that era?
Internet Movie Car Database says it's a 2012 model. Don't know whether there's any difference between the year models in the 991.1

>WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOYOTA IS THE ONLY CAR COMPANY MAKING MONEY RIGHT NOW
I never knew so many people hated me for having a Prius. It saves me tons of money. I didn't even buy it, my parents got it for me around graduation. People say it's ugly but I think it looks quite nice aesthetically except for the newest versions. Sorry for having different taste. Don't get mad at me and try to run my off the road and endanger my life and others' just because you want to justify your monthly car payments on your Challenger. I don't give two shits about the environment since it can fend for itself. I'm not making a statement. I'm just trying to save up for a used Rolls Royce. Get over yourselves.
I need about 7" of ground clearance minimum. I don't want a full sized body on frame truck or SUV and I don't want a front wheel drive crossover. I've been looking hard for smallish relatively fun to drive RWD crossovers and the only three I can think of are the BMW X3 and Mercedes GLC/GLK and Infiniti QX70 / FX. I looked at Outbacks and Rangers but would prefer not to.
I'm kind of steering more towards the Infiniti as I've had previous nightmares with German cars even though the X3 has been the most fun to drive. VQ engines are pretty based too.
What do /o/?
spraying the tire with a water hose, high pressure
lightly sand the letters with a 220 grit sandpaper
blast tires with water again to remove rubber bits
splash of denatured alcohol
paint with a paintbrush

Anyone got any experience with this paint?
