What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I doubt TSS could of prevented that. And i wasn't at fault. I explained the accident a couple post below the post you quoted.

My wife's 2019 Camry XSE has tss, birds EYE, adaptive cruise, blind spot and more.. Personally I'd turn most that crap off If it was my vehicle.

Switched out clear BD fogs for amber

 

Lo pro bumper with BD 30” light bar. Also added a front camera by anytimebackupcamera.

 

Just busting your balls, man

I’ve been in a couple accidents as well so I’m in no position to judge you. Shit happens. I wish you luck with your 3rd turd

Only way to go! If I had a topper on my truck it would be Line-X'ed. Don't need anymore area to wax.

 

Ya it does look great. Time before this it rained less than an hour after I finished waxing it so the wax never got a chance to cure and only lasted about 4-5 weeks

This time around though it was at least 24 hours before it rained after I finished. 5pm downpours the last 3-4 days here in CFL haven’t done much and it’s still got a nice pretty shine to it

 

Put a pair of RCI rock sliders on. Liking them much better than the stock steps.

 

No skin in the game since i live in NC. But people in Cali are as prepped for a quake as we are for hurricanes. You want to talk about unprepared look at Memphis and Boston. Both sit on similar fault lines to the San Andreas. Just less active. Both will see a huge quake one day. Neither of them have building codes for such. Memphis has an earthquake plan but i think it was written in the 70s. I don't think Boston has one. Either of those pop off the death toll will be in the thousands and takea decade to recover from. The fact this quake was just meh shows what preparedness really is. I don't have a lot good to say about commifornia (kidding) but hats off to you guys for having at least that part of your life right.

 

YES!!


You would not believe how many people don't get it.

 

Used that faceapp that makes you look old...

Gotta get in on your next outing! This looks like a great time!

 

Well, if you're going to quote me, you should do it in context. Here's what I was responding to:

I read that as: "Nothing happened (this time), so what's the big deal?" It sounded dismissive to me, and I have the same reaction to this as when someone in their 20s, who doesn't have health insurance, says "Hey, I'm perfectly healthy, why should I buy health insurance? I'll buy it later on when I NEED it. Ha!"

Sure, @jmauvais later when on to talk about Cali's stricter building codes (that's great), and how nothing really bad has happened yet, so everything must be fine. Mmmm, not sure I'm buying that. That Northridge quake in '94 looks like it caused a bit more than nothin'.





Maybe it's relative. If you weren't one of the 57 dead, 8700 injured, or 125,000 left homeless*, then i guess it wasn't so bad.

Even when the people in a given area are prepared for something, poop still happens. Chicago is as prepared for heavy snowfall as any city in the North, and yet...


Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, 2011

...and I still see people every winter, driving, apparently without an ice scraper or snow brush since the snow's piled a foot high on their car and they're peering out of a hole in the snow on their windshield that their defroster managed to melt.

Some threats are obvious (earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, snowstorms). Some not so obvious...


Lac-Mégantic (Quebec) train car derailment, 2013

My original point was that everyone, everywhere, should be minimally prepared to deal with adversity both at home and on the road. I wasn't picking on Californians, just using them as the latest example of how *most* (not all) people do not think ahead. @jmauvais says that he has provided ample emergency supplies for his family so he can go out and do his (very important) job. That's fantastic, I would just like to see more people doing this.

Not today but last night found a sport hood semi local and he agreed to meet up after I got off work (1 1/2 hour drive arriving at 2130). Get his hood off and set aside so we can take mine from my truck to his as a courtesy. As were bolting on the sport hood I notice a water spot in the rear near the windshield and go to wipe away and it doesn’t. A solid dent at the rear crease. I checked under the hood and there’s no way to access the spot to have the dent pushed out and reshaped without cutting into the lower support. Tell the guy no deal as he wanted cash on top of the trade on his end. Swapped back and left.

I was so exited that whole day thinking about it and left empty handed! But I was pretty glad that I was able to overcome my instant gratification and hold out. Now to find another person to swap with.

 

Got this Falken hat to wear in my 3rd Gen

 

Nice. You have the AT’s, because the $1100 I spent on the Wildpeak MT01’s seems like the biggest waste of money I’ve spent on my truck

 

Added some Rhino Rack rails to the tonneau cover. Up next - Rooftop Tent! (Bedtop tent?)

 

My cap for my 2017 OR was installed today. Looks good. Went thru a heavy rain on way home and bed stayed dry.
