So Walmart now carries OEM Toyota oil filters. Like, in the Toyota box.

Also they had a person roving around behind the registers that was a mobile checkout, if you were paying by card and didn't want cash back. Perfect for a jug of Mobil 1 and filter. Hopefully this will make my two-or-three times a year pilgrimage to get cheap oil slightly easier.

The only time I totalled a car, I had an agreed value policy. They gave me that, which was over market, and even acknowledged that.

dealer bullshit

God absolutely gently caress dealers. As I've been complaining about in Slack, I've had some pretty incredible experiences with dealers during my new-to-me car search, including:

-A dealer that was advertising a car as "gently used" and "in no major accidents, a real keeper!" when in reality it had new pistons and rings installed (forgot to mention that one in the Slack lmao), had been in an accident and had been declared a total loss following a theft;

-A dealer trying to convince me that a $13,169 collision claim was "just a front bumper";

-A dealer telling me the car is in fantastic shape when it had been owned by a rig pig who basically didn't do any maintenance on it - when he actually had a license between his DUIs, that is - and was covered in awful cosmetic issues, like a big rusty, bubbled-up paint chip on the roof;

-Finding an actually decent car at a dealership, only to find out that the dealer dropped fifty large into a PAC to get the most regressive government in the history of Canada elected into office.

And of course you get the usual poo poo of overly expensive cars, pressure to act now and all that fun garbage. All I want is a nice clean 86 :(

He's made a dozen tweets about it now and I guarantee you he had no idea who this clown was two weeks ago. I saw the former PM told Trump to gently caress off because political interference with due process is against that law.

Not to get all political but the next two years are going to be fascinating. Dem's better get their poo poo together and unify to oust Cheeto in Chief.

Yeah I've given up on dealers in my car search and now I'm just using them to test drive cars I'm interested in, why test drive a '16 Mazda3 being sold privately 50 miles away when the dealer down the street has some I can try :v:

If you're in no hurry I would just wait for one to be sold privately, if you can afford to be patient gently caress the dealerships.

As the former owner of a VE Commodore that was for some goddamn reason built as a Pontiac but in RHD that stayed in Australia - they arent. There are subtle differences through the car as I found out replacing a fuel pump. You would think it would be basically the same but no.

Hawt hawt Raptor on Raptor action:



Went and retrieved the kid’s Raptor from our field where it had sat the past month after the fire, and bought it a new charger. My kids are delighted and now terrorizing the rental cul-de-sac.

Note virtually nothing being different in the background - Mercedes is still there, although that pine tree is probably gonna die. That fire got hot.

if I haven't posted about MY LANDCRUISER yet, check my bullbars for kangaroo prints

Sometimes I love Toyota, sometimes I loving hate them.

Hilux, Prado, 4 runners... when they changed engines or diff ratios, they just changed the drive wheel on the speed sensor. In the 100 series, they changed the god drat drive gear INSIDE the transfer case too...

So the automatic transfer case I’m rebuilding to drop into my manual 100 series suits 3.9:1 diffs. I have 4.3:1 diffs. So now I’ve ether gotta buy a new internal drive gear before I can rebuild my transfer, or I have to pull the transfer case out of my truck, pull it apart, extract the drive gear and THEN put the new transfer together and install it...

It’s not like it’s a really awkwardly shaped 50kg lump of metal that you’ve gotta install over your head or anything...
