Did you tell them you were planning on getting the job

 

Amazing, someone managed to spend 4-5k to make a Subaru engine sound even worse. Make way, 180hp coming through....

No plan holds up after the first engagement.

Eventually you will grow a skill set and confidence to reach for the upper end. Good luck!

 

Not having a commute makes a huge difference, especially when you drive an old gas guzzler. Not to mention the stress of being in traffic.

 

We don't have traffic here, but yeah not driving the Corolla 65ish miles a day would be cool.

 

Yea I think my GIS skills were a plus. Customer service was a big part of the job as well, which I have experience in.

 

That’s a lot of miles to put on a 90s Corolla, wow.

 

No, but I should’ve.

 

It's a cockroach, try and kill it. I did the same with a 80mi commute for a long time with the LC. I drive a lot, from late 2017 to now I am just shy of putting 100k on the 80 series. Like 4k to go.

 

I thought the 80 series was a surprisingly comfy commuter. I don’t understand why people act like solid axle trucks are so hard to drive daily.

 

Did that one have the RTV issue?

 

I have no idea, it's an FA engine it's not even worth thinking about. A bone stock camry from a decade ago has more power and comfort than that thing

 

I think I've been averaging 3k miles a year on the truck over the last 4 years.

Have you driven a SFA vehicle for any particular amount of time?

 

I don't think I've put 5k on the LC in the last two years combined. That corolla has saved it a lot of wear and tear

 

Yea I daily drove the LC for around 9 months.

 

We talked about this

 

Do you take it out for a highway cruise and Italian tune up every few weeks?

 

In fact, I think the Tacoma creates more driver fatigue than the Cruiser if anything.

 

I drive it sometimes, it isn't a normal drive for any of my vehicles if we don't smack redline at some point.

 

You secretly love that Corolla. I'm curious how many miles I'll put on the fleet this year, maybe I will note the mileage today and circle back in a year.

Then maybe you're not sensitive to it. They are sloppier and with both tires connected rigidly, a bump you hit on one side like a pot hole, is felt across the entire front end. IFS allows those events to occur independently and the result is a more stable and comfortable ride. SFAs are for strength, not comfort.
