Mine was older and basically it would light up that I was in all gears at the same time on the dash and shift very very firm. Couldn't tell what caused it. The drive home from work it would be fixed. Happened every couple months. Was a good little car overall though.

Thing still slides on dry and wet....although predictably now haha there's a few more items to sort out with the car and should be good. Power steering pump is groaning. The motor for tilt on the steering wheel is dead, and the front bumper and truck need resprayed. Oh and wheels need refinished. It never ends! But mechanically it's been rock solid for the last 5k miles once I sorted the bad coil.

Reddit for the win

 

I can't watch the Price is Right without getting down, when I was ~15 and moved from TX to OR in 9th grade in the middle of the school year I was depressed AF and basically spent the entire winter break at our new house in Oregon watching Price is Right all day long. I don't know why but it made me happy at the time. Seeing it now though brings up weird feels especially without Bob

 

@Abeyancer this has you written all over it

 

What's @Wulf say?


I'd wheel it ... or rather, live in it

 

why not both?

 

Being a part of this forum has taught me, I don't wheel shit

 

Lol dude tried to sell me a road hazard warranty that cost more than new tires haha

 

Lol gotta shoot his shot

 

damn, doesn't Discount sell full warranty coverage for a set of tires for like $30/tire? That's the only thing I regret not having with the Thunderers since I bought them through Wally World

 

I got these rando tires for the Corolla and wallworl is installing them. I have low confidence

 

the warranty is the hazard

 

Hey if it resolves itself, or is just a little growing pain gremlin or something, that's good. I mean, 7K on it, shouldn't be having serious problems but I guess ya never know. As long as driving it is worth it then I'm good. I haven't had it long enough to know what might pop up occasionally and go away.

At least it slides predictably, that's ideal haha. Tilt motor sounds like it could be annoying if the wheel isn't / can't be repositioned to a place you like. At least after the coil your list isn't too crazy. (Though a proper respray is never cheap either, but worth it imo) Its all a little less annoying as long you're enjoying it too!
