It was on the first truck to Florida, so yeah a very early car. The 6th gear whine happens in a bunch of them, might as well get it replaced under warranty before I sell itSolar wrote:Yikes ! Hopefully Toyota has got these issues straightened out by now. Didn't you buy your car the first week they came out ?Dave-ROR wrote:It has a 6 gear whine so it gets a new trans. Also needed a new battery, power window switch and something else. Shockingly it doesn't need another coil pack.... Yet.
I'm also assuming that you've have driven the car delicately since day one.Not saying that your driving habits caused the power window issue though...

If you are there in the PM you can co-drive my Z51 Vette Vert assuming you can still "slap stick" and "take names".

Chasing cones is more fun than chasing tents. They also tend to damage cars when they hit them.

I know you were. But, I've had to chase the damned things before, and listen to people complain about cars getting dented or scratched.
You're in Florida. Regardless of the forecast, the weather is going to do what it wants. The official Accu-FAST forecast is mid-80's, partly cloudy with a slight chance of some rain. It's going to be a beautiful day!

Re: March 14 - Championship Event at Brooksville
I understand completely. I am just as tired of replacing them. I loan them out and then they come back in pieces because nobody ever anchors them. I do and even that is no guarantee. at any rate, the one O was thinking of bringing is more like one of those small beach shelters, just to have a place to get out of the sun or keep our things under if it rains.Loren wrote:I know you were.

Partly cloudy with possibility of afternoon showers or thunderstorms, increasing towards 5pm. From December to February, substitute: Cool to moderate temperatures. Light wind, variable. Possibility of morning ground fog.Professional_Slacker wrote:does anyone have a "reliable" weather forecast? everything I'm looking at is all over the place. it's like they just flipped a coin or something.
