I think anyone who works on cars should have one along with a decent fuel pressure tester. I don't use mine that often but as diagnostic tools they're both pretty valuable.

Exactly. And a set of noid gauges (they are cheap). Leak down tester if you have a compressor as well (also cheap if you don't buy it off the tool truck).

I wouldn't call it cold, but yeah, at least in the IE. I'm still in short sleeves though.
Unfortunately, my blood has thinned a lot since Minnesota and under 50s i start thinking it is kind of cold.

Speaking of oranges, just went to a u-pick orange grove and filled up on pineapple oranges, best juice ever besides maybe blood oranges.

If you live in Cali or Florida and buy orange juice at the grocery store you're doing it wrong.

gently caress painting interior (or exterior) doors.

And replacing the hardware with brushed nickel instead of early 90s brass.

Also gently caress anyone that painted over wallpaper that was put on unprimed sheet rock. Twice.

^ Yup, painting doors loving sucks, especially ones with windows in them.


Some of you may remember the friend I have whose Toyotiac Vibratrix had such a weak charging system that it couldn't drive with a dead battery, plus collapsed suspension on one from corner.

He remedied that situation by buying a second-gen Prius, and has subsequently both lost and won the used car lottery. Lost because it just threw P0A80, which literally means "replace HV battery". Won because the car is 7 years, 11 months old, and the HV battery is an emissions device covered under the 8yr/100k warranty.

See, this is why I love living on the coast, all the idiots are inland.

Then when they come to to stay at my beach resort I get to kick them out and blackball them. Lots of times they go away in cuffs, sometimes strapped to a gurney yelling at me as they are rolled into the crazy wagon. At least it keeps me entertained :v:

Might be, but unless the dealer tries to gently caress him over, I won't have to pull the HV pack out and disassemble it to find out.

Matrix XRS. Actually pretty fun to drive, has the same motor as the celica GTS I believe. 8k rpm redline and a 6-speed. They are pretty rare or I would probably buy a nice one to daily.

No idea. It has a VIN, and is in D1 - parts assembled, production scheduled. It's "Hot tag" too so supposedly it'll get built before others. But beyond that your guess is as good as mine.
