Austin Area TW Chapter (all gens welcome, even T4Rs; heck, just make it a Toyota and we're good)

Anyone interested in a Meso Minimalist v2 Key Fob? Black w/ Black buttons. Unopened. I found and ordered a topographical style one a day after I ordered this one. Yours for $35 or $40 if I have to mail it. I'm in Leander and willing to meet somewhere in between. Thought I'd offer here before posting to the TX Classified Thread.

 

FYI, tomorrow morn from 730am to 10am is Pistons in the Park, then another Toyota meet after that starting at 10am at the Round Rock Donuts in Cedar Park. I won’t be attending as I have a full work load in the garage tomorrow.

 

I'll miss you!



Amarillo, is off the Taco.

 

Rented a TRD Pro Taco while in Minnesota last week. It had 45K miles on it, and I was impressed with the fact that there really weren't any squeaks or rattles, despite being originally titled in Michigan, and being subjected to the road craters in Minnesota. That being said, was glad to settle back into the driver's seat of the Tundy, when flying back into Austin last night. That is all.

 

Good Evening everyone! Here are links and deets for your upcoming weekend, if you have any interest.

Saturday 0700-0945 Rules are the same - you can find them on the link, and there is STILL no charge to be a "Show Car". I plan to park near the "X" I put on the photo. The new "RESERVED" section seems to be just a small section of the front row.




DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ALERT SATURDAY NIGHT!!

Sunday 0800 - 1100 Cars and Coffee - Home of the World Championships | Circuit of The Americas

It's the SAME $10 it always used to be. However, it appears that TOYOTA TRUCKS would be funneled to the "OFFROAD" or "Japanese" section. I haven't made up my mind yet, but if I go, you would find me there. On the second link, you can REGISTER in advance, and it says you can register there.



Getting fancier, but she still brings some beer.

 

wow, CnC is happening. Maybe we can get the band back together

 

THIS Sunday? Whose evil idea was THAT?

 

It was $5 the last time I was there.

 

Same. Quit going when they stopped taking cash. You want me to swipe my credit card in your mysterious little reader for a $5 entrance fee?

Nope.

 

USAA finally came through for me, after Nationwide lost their mind and jacked up our homeowners by 50%. Between the house, umbrella, and scoots, we saved $655. And the funny part is that the scoots and the umbrella are with Progressive, who they already with. Buying the same Progressive coverage through USAA was cheaper.

 

How does that even work?

My BIL finally chucked GEICO and some obscure homeowner’s they had for USAA last year and saved about $1100 (lives in Abilene, 27 year-old house). He couldn’t believe the difference in auto insurance; they accepted that he was a full-time teleworker and dropped his truck’s liability in half.

3 months later - hail storm. Leak didn’t show up until January, but it had all happened on USAA’s watch.

USAA determined the leak stemmed from the hail storm and he got a new roof (with upgraded shingles). “Why did I stick with those old assholes so long?”

 

Anyone have a spare 3rd gen driver side taillight (sport or off road), the one with the chrome housing?
Trying to help this old man at work that damaged his tail light. Im in Pflugerville and can pick up. Shoot me a price

 

The gal from Progressive had to put me on hold to check, after she realized I was cancelling the Progressive motorcycle insurance to go with Progressive motorcycle insurance through USAA. She came back on and laughed, saying she had never seen that before, but totally understood me saving shekels on the same insurance!

 

Hello...Do you guys have any recommendations for best Toyota Dealership to bring in my 2022 Tacoma TRD Sport for it's 10K check up. (Austin locations or surrounding areas) This one is free. After that, I'll go to my son-in-law's dads place at (Infinite) for family discounts in the future. I'll do the cabin filter myself, so just the tire rotation and oil/filter change. I'm at 8K now so planning to do it soon. Thanks...

 

South Side - AutoNation. Their service department isn't what they used to be about 5 years ago, but they aren't total idiots.
North Side - Toyota of Cedar Park. Haven't heard an ill word about them.

 

Thanks...I was looking to bring it to the Cedar Park location. Funny, a few minutes ago I had a voice mail from Toyota of North Austin stating my vehicle is coming due for maintenance and to give them a call. They are located on 8400 Research Blvd, Austin, TX 78758. I'm pretty sure that's where I purchased the truck from. I believe they changed owners/name recently.

 

They did, only because the previous owner’s murder-for-hire activities. Suddenly “Maund” stopped being a profitable name.

 

I also got a call from them. Stopped going once free maintenance expired.

With my wife's 4runner they were constantly trying to upsell. She apparently needed the power steering fluid flushed, carbon buildup in the engine, etc so we stopped going.

 

I’m next to Toyota CP, they are great but they are a high volume dealer. They aren’t pushy but they’ll have you replace a whole transmission if you mention any torque shuddering.
