thats how i feel about my MX5s

 

That's exactly what it's all about. It's not ultimate HP that win's. If a car has 150HP and you walk away with a big smile then that's a win. Friend of my used to track Lotus Elise, thing had what 180hp Toyota engine but you could sling that sucker into a corner and it stuck like you were driving on fly paper in July in FL. SO much fun.

 

Of course you’ll have to wait for it to arrive but if your local dealers won’t budge on taking everything off then that’ll be your best bet. If you take the special 2.9% financing with Toyota, it’ll void the $1,500 rebate but you can probably get a lower rate with a different credit union and be able to get the $1,500 rebate bringing the total cost of a Sport 4x4 down to $36,500.

 

if anyone can fit into an mx5 or elise, i highly recommend driving one, i get a lot of flak for em but none of it takes away from what the car is capable of

 

When I did the track thing with the Ferrari, one of the guys that was there had his track MX5 with him. He drove the lambo on the track, after it was over the instructors let people bring their cars out if they wanted to. I was driving a truck so no not happening for me lol, this guy brought his out and ripped around the track when he was done the instructor asked if he could drive it. He had a different motor in it but I can't remember what he had swapped it for.

Here are the same 2 trucks. First one is Alamo Toyota selling this at $43k vs ordering after destination fee. When I spoke to the salesman, he mentioned that the price was pretty firm

 

My brother got his TRD Pro in August of 2019 for under MSRP. It had a sticker price of $50,500 but the online guys messed up and listed it on the website for $43,700. Because the 2020’s got refreshed, the sales manager decided to honor the online price as it was their mistake

 

So my tire pressure light is always on when its cold but when I was just driving it started blinking after going over a bump...should I be worried?

 

Put some more air in them tars.

 

Usually the blinking means there’s something wrong with a sensor. Mine blinks when I first crank it then it stays solid. I have a bad sensor. Which I replaced 2 of them but their not connecting to the truck.

 

They just did at Toyota earlier

 

Hmmm... I'm just gonna head home I guess. No idea

 

Just got trade it in

 

They're probably on last legs like Medic said. Time to trade for sure.

 

My gramps used to say Jack up the radiator cap and pull a new car under it.

 

Place some electrical tape over it you’ll be fine as long tires are actually at right psi.

 

Nerd

Also nerd


That's how my brother is, gets a new car everytime there's a problem. I'm not like that, I'd rather keep it and get a new one lol.

 

Haha perfect! I stopped at another tire place and asked if they were too busy to look really quick and the lady at the front counter said something about a battery dying? Wtf? Like a battery in the actual tire gauge?

 

There’s a reason those folks work the check in desk. It’s like that going to any auto parts store dealing with desk guys without any car knowledge.

 

Pulled the tape off just for the photo it’s been on for the last 100k or so won’t burn out..personal vendetta against it.
