What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Damn! Sorry to hear that. Let us know how everything works out. Hope it works in your favor…..possibly a new TRD in your future.

 

Or even worse……a Honda!

 

Just do the high viper cut…..blemish eliminated!

Sorry that happened though. Glad it wasn’t worse.

 

Installed drivers side OEM RAV4 mirrors with the integrated blind spot mirror. Honestly prying off the old mirror was a PITA - ended up breaking off one of the heater tabs off the stock mirror but oh well that mirror is destined to be trashed anyways - EDIT shit never mind I just found my new travel shaving mirror lol

Bought the passenger’s side as well, but might not end up using it. Easier to crane my neck slightly to the right vs left.

 

Don’t know why but when I pulled my passenger side it was easier than the drivers side. Pull up from the bottom, all you need is your hand, maybe a towel if your feeling fancy.

 

I had a window blow out in the heat. Not sure if it was due to heat absorption (black paint) or what. At first I thought something or someone broke it from the outside but the glass was on the ground next to the vehicle. Only time I’ve had it happen. I make sure to leave all windows cracked when it’s hot out.

 

Paid it off earlier this month and yesterday my title was finally in the mailbox:

 

Should've had a plate bumper so I could have left them a gash right back . Might be an excuse to get one. But in all seriousness it definitely could have been worse. Lesson learned, park far away from other cars and check for damages every time coming and going.

 

@Forest Moon Congratulations on the payoff, but you should block out that VIN number.

 

Meh he's among friends here. These days paper temp license plates have the entire f*cking VIN written on them, which is dumb but whatever bureaucratic nonsense, I guess.

 

Lots of that nonsense in the world. I found out the other day AZ is issuing electronic titles instead of paper ones. I believe you can pay extra for a paper one, but who wants an electronic title for their vehicle?

 

People who hate the feeling of holding a piece of paper after paying off a car, I guess.

Or judging by all the Super Bowl commercials Crypto bros. Annoying weirdos all of them...

Speaking of the new age of unnecessary digitalization I've seen quite a bit of those digital license plates in California since I drive/fly down there more than I should.

Funniest car I've seen with one of those fancy LED plates was a Nissan Rogue lol

 

Doesn’t sound that bad. It depends on whether the possessor of the digital file is deemed the owner of the vehicle or only the name that is on the title. Meaning that the only way to change possession is to do it directly with the state and not by “signing over” the title. That would mean that you could have a digital copy in multiple locations, rather than having it in only one “safe” location.

 

I assume this is only with push to start? My compustar allows "key-takeover".

 

sounds reasonable.

 

I’m not sure you know what “reasonable” means

 

I had the viper DS4 15, minute run time, temp display on remote and LOOONG range, like inside the mall i could start it and get alerted if the somebody triggered the alarm. Getting in already running you just hit the brake and turn the key on just don't turn the starter and it didn't shut off. Only flaw was the alarm siren and the horn were out of sync when you lock/unlock. I think that was the installer though. I took it out of my totaled SR to find out it doesn't work on my new OR because of the push button. I would actually prefer a key start especially with the fact it shuts off when you open the door. I really don't need remote start though I'm in FL, not for another 800, it was for the air conditioning, freezing temps up north are really what its good for

 

Electric plate's worth more than the car it's on

 

There's the rub lol. Here in Colorado a person could have transferred their old license plate to their new car, but in the name of "safety" that's not allowed since Jan 1st so now every time you get a new car, you get the honor of paying for a new set of plates. Before I could have gotten a prorated credit for registration if I kept the same plates onto a new car, but now the calendar starts anew, so to speak.

Money grab just small enough to fly under the radar but still all the same...

 

Wow, MO is sure high tech if they can do an emissions inspection online!


(you can do this to me)
