Let me guess: a genius solution to warm the cabin.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Fun to do from a stop sign. Toyota doesn't let you engage cruise control until you hit 25 mph.  It also has a slow ramp up, like it'll accelerate reasonably for ~4 seconds and if it hasn't hit the target speed yet THEN it will drop the hammer and do whatever it can to get to speed asap.

Sounded like hell itself was breaking loose underneath you.

Well, i can tell you that you get yelled at right quick for using the tiger torch to heat it's own tank, but when it's -40, you're hauling water and don't really give a gently caress if you explode or not, it works.

Was thinking the same thing. I figured it'd probably be a bad idea. Too many people would idly stand by and not actually help. Plus if the would be jacker had a gun gently caress that, Ill drive till the gas runs out or find a cop, whichever comes first.

Hell no don't stop at the gas station. That's putting your life and your car at the mercy of a garbage CCTV system and the kindness of strangers. He made the right call.

I did once when i was visiting my brother in NC a couple years ago - was driving a rental and some douchebag in a pickup was tailgating me, driving aggressively, and flashing his high beams. Dialed 911, pulled into a gas station right up by the doors, guy pulled in beside me and I kept my doors locked and gave them all the vehicle details. Cops show up, guy gets pissed and starts ranting about how I supposedly "cut him off" and "was speeding and weaving between lanes" even though it didn't happen. Gave cops my info, told them what happened, they pulled the dude's license and wouldn't you know...he just got it back after a suspension for failure to appear in court for another driving violation months before  . Felt good seeing that rear end in a top hat get cuffed and stuffed.

It would do 120 no problem and from a stop I could just mash the gas and do rolling burnouts. Probably not the best car for a teenager to have but drat was it fun. One of the best parts was seating for 6 and another 6 in the trunk.

Cruise control chat cont: Toyota has the best control stick. I wish it was the standard for every vehicle. For hills, I learned early on to anticipate and apply throttle gently to keep it from kicking down unnecessarily. With a little practice you can keep the car just over or at the set speed on almost any incline.

dee eight posted:Cruise control chat cont: Toyota has the best control stick. I wish it was the standard for every vehicle. The only modern Toyota I've spent a considerable amount of time with is a first-gen Highlander, and its cruise stalk was the worst one I've ever used. Mounted to the wheel itself and so low that it hit my legs during steering. Kia Spectras had a similar one which had the same problem. I'll take wheel face buttons over any stalk any day, but if you're going to do a stalk attach it to the drat column not the wheel.

dee eight posted:Cruise control chat cont: Toyota has the best control stick. I wish it was the standard for every vehicle. +1. My first CC was on a friend's Toyota and I took for granted how intuitive it was. On every car owned/borrowed since I feel like the designers/engineers just chucked buttons all over the steering wheel haphazardly.

I like to be able to operate all the switchs and buttons without looking at them. And the cruise stalk on my corolla is always at my fingertips even when I'm turning. I like it just fine.

Best cruise ever was on my old '80 280ZX. On/off button and 'Set' button, that's it, on a 5-speed manual no less. Even when going well past the 85mph speedo, it would keep whatever moon speed you were doing. My 94 f250's CC is alright, classic Ford steering wheel buttons, ergonomic enough. It was only after installing an EGT gauge that I realized that it will try to melt my inconel exhaust valves at highway speeds if I'm not careful on hills.

Empty highway yesterday, I'm cruising the right most lane. Catch up to and pass a car sitting in the passing (left lane) doing 5 under the limit. That prompted them to speed up, cut me off, and slam on the brakes and give me the finger. Jesus christ.

Entirely unsurprised to hear "blyat, yobani vrot!" As soon as he went through the ice  (gently caress! For fucks sake! Though it translates more directly as "bitch! loving in the mouth!" Iirc) MrLogan posted:Empty highway yesterday, I'm cruising the right most lane. Catch up to and pass a car sitting in the passing (left lane) doing 5 under the limit.

I wonder at the disconnect in someone who is aware of the "don't pass on the right" rule and are willing to risk a confrontation over it yet somehow never learned that the left lane is for passing only.

I had a rental Chrysler 200 a month ago and I was frustrated that I apparently had to take my hand off the steering wheel to change the stereo volume or skip tracks. Then I found those buttons on the rear surface of the steering wheel. It also had a dial as a gearshift. Like, a big circular knob that you turn to put it in drive or reverse. It's located right near the big circular knob that you turn to change the climate control fan speed. Seriously gently caress that car, what a useless piece of poo poo.
