MARYLAND TACOMAS

Pump switch is constantly cycling on when using water ,tank holds no pressure when water is shut off and system is drained also feels like it's full of water ..5-7 years old

 

Yeah sounds like you have a hole in the bladder. Time for a new tank. The tank may be full, but that's because when you get a hole in the bladder the entire tank fills up and gets water logged.

 

Yeah that's what I figured too .5-7 years seems like a short life span for the tank though my neighbor just recently did his and it was over 15 yrs old

 

Unfortunately that's the story on the new ones. I've seen plenty that are 20-30 years old and have no problems. The newer ones only last 10 or so years if you're lucky.

I just finished building my house last April. The well tank we installed had a bad pressure switch right out of the box. Not the first time I've seen that happen either.

 

Yeah I've learned my lesson. First vehicle I bought that was a 1st year model.. :/

 

Canton. Not sure what's going on with them.

 

Wife and I spent the day yesterday hiking the Deep Creek area & Shallow Falls St park. Took all back roads there then 68 back to WV.

 

Years ago the wife and I wanted a place there when nobody knew it existed but even now that it get more populated we still enjoy going there but prices are crazy anywhere near the lake . The falls is a great place to hike and cool down at

 

I've been looking that area up for a little every day cycling on my mini vacation later this year.

Just beautiful.

 

Dave if you and the wife go back there this summer you should go up to Wisp and check out there river park it's pretty cool intro to river rafting they send you out with a guide and it's just a big loop but with some falls and rapids we had a blast a couple of years ago and if your wife is like mine she didn't mind the young tan guides ,because of cours we couldn't get a cute female one

 

That sounds like fun. We were surprised how chilly it was there yesterday. Lifeguard & other hikers had hooded sweatshirts on.

 

2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor that together produce 200 horsepower. LOL But it's all torque-y with the electric pairing. And that's where hybrids shine. Look at the all electric Tesla in Ludacris Mode. That will dust just about anything. Anything in that price range I should say.

No, believe me, I know the STI can leave most cars way way behind, but in normal traffic the Lexus hybrid in sport mode is an all together different vehicle. Off the line the electric motors have put away quite a few unsuspecting takers. Of course we all know it's about timing off the line too. If you flinch, I am gone. Not sure what top speed is, yet, but so far 102 is where I've been.

I love the STI and if it wasn't for the fact that the wife needs an automatic I would have one. No other production vehicle has the nads to pull off that spoiler. And you know I like copper wheels so.....

We were hitting speeds of 90+ in rush hour without being careless and I was able to keep up until he really goosed it, which is always obvious by the exhaust tone signature. I had my wife in the car and others around me to concern myself with, not that he wasn't. I know my limits. I don't like to push others into situations they might not otherwise put themselves into just because a pesky Lexus is shadowing them.

Of course I always have my Escort Redline with me so I have a bit of an advantage. I highly recommend it. It has an incredible range and is undetectable.

I've raced some very odd vehicles in my time. Street raced. When I was a kid I had 1975 Cadillac Eldorado. It had one of the largest productions engines ever built in the USA. Imagine that taking down a Chevelle or a Camaro......"in 1970 Cadillac raised the displacement again by stroking the motor to 500 CID. It was rated at 400 hp with a truck-sized 550 lb·ft of torque"

Of course at the expense of under 10 mpg! LOL

 

Did you at least wave? I didn't see you and i work close to the interstate

 

Don't worry, my generation successfully ruined street racing

Watching how they do it is painful, they're so stupid and careless.

 

You drag raced your 75 Eldorado? My uncle had a 73 ragtop Eldo. My caddy has the 429ci but it still moves along pretty good down the highway. I wish I had the 472ci.

 

Yea, back in the early 80s. At a place in Dundalk called The Circle Drive Inn. I've always been different. And I've never really cared about fitting in. I grew up in the city and was fortunate to have a diverse upbringing. I bought the caddi at a time during the gas wars and no one wanted it. It was mint. Cream paint and beautiful fawn colored leather. I had to have it. I was 19 at the time. It cost me 1600 bucks. I tinted the windows bronze. It was way ahead of its time and had features found on cars today.

And of course I raced it. I've been a speed demon since day one. Had my first run in with the law doing 75 on Baltimore St near Patterson Park on my buddies Yamaha 400. I was 15. I got my first speeding ticket a week after I got my license. I've had a few since then. The Redline protects me these days.

I saw a pic of you and your caddi, the black one right? That's pretty OG! Real Mafioso! I like it. I'd love to get my hands on that new caddi they tested at Nuremburg. I bet that's a blast. I guess I just love going fast. I used to ride dirt bikes too as a kid and would love to try a Baja race in a built Tocoma. That would be way cool to do and add to my list of totally nuts things I've done. LOL

 

I grew up in Canton. Back in my teenage days i raced around the neighborhood alleys & abandoned buildings along Boston st on dirtbikes. My parents also grew up in Canton and my dad use to hang at the circle in a maroon colored 65 Chevelle. My neighbor hung there too with a 340 68 Dart. Back in my early 20's I had a mint baby blue 77 coupe deville. I bought it for $300 with a blown trans. National Trans on Pulaski & Ellwood rebuilt the trans for me. Fixed the ac, installed lowering springs, wire wheels, tinted the windows, new stereo system. My friends nicknamed it "The living room" because with the cold ac, being so roomy inside & comfortable leather seats it was like sitting at home. That was a fun car.

 

Will do but buzzbait asked me to keep an eye out shortly after i sold Joe that 2nd 3rd gen so i would have to give him first chance at it. But just to let you know the ones I come across usually need some type of repair/repairs but because of that I buy'em cheap & sell'em cheap.

 

2nd Gen with the 3.0? They have hg issues.

 

Its a turd.

One with hesitation issues could probably be out run on foot as slow as the 3.slow is in perfect health
