    What's funny is, she ended up sleeping with us in bed a few times and I'd pet her head. It was mainly cause she'd pass out in my arms and I'd be too lazy or in pain (or both) to put her in her kennel so she'd sleep through the night with us.

    Happened enough times that her "normally flopped up" ear has now flopped down and stayed that way.

    Least she looks a little more 'normal'

    What's crazy to me is that's the same engine from my 2007 Camry.

    Yeah the Scions (tCs at least) had the same engine as the Camry, I had an 06 and a 2012.

    The tC was basically just a Camry disguised as a sporty coupe for young adults. I didn't realize TRD had any boost options for them but makes sense. Scion was all over the young demographic in the mid 2000s and TRD was in it's heyday then.

    Oh I had some friends with tCs when I owned my Camry. Their engines all blew up from oil consumption issues while I was just adding a quart or two between changes. It's just odd seeing the little 2.4 I owned with a supercharger slapped on it in a lowered tC or XB. Like theoretically I could've purchased one for $1800 and put it on my car. And still get destroyed by a stock V6 Camry.

    Damn, both mine went to 150k miles with zero issues when traded in, but I didn't do any hoonigan shit with them so who knows.

    The damn tail gate latch on those things though was made out of balsa wood, Toyota never offered a fix. Literally any tc you see on the road now has theirs taped on or falling off lol.

    No, she's more than twice as big as she was in June!

    She's over 12lbs whereas she was only 5lbs when you guys were here.

    Pic from earlier today; you remember being surprised at how big Bronx was in person. Now check this out -

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    Because they're quite different, the Echo was a trial product to see if something as plain Jane and stripped as a Yaris would sell in the US. It's lacking features even a base Corolla had.

    Noice! We've got one on our drill press, word of advice.. keep 2 rubber strap wrenches near the drill somewhere. Don't know if yours will have enough nut, but with mine. Using a large enough drill bit, if I stall the motor out (belt starts slipping) I can't loosen it without the strap wrenches :laughing::violent:
