    Good morning,
    Rain is coming to San Diego (they say) but the sun was shining at the start of the day (cloudy now).
    Hope SpaceX Starship launch goes well, in Texas.
    Dentist appointment at noon (crown job)...
    My 2010 Tacoma needs a little love with the radiator overfill reservoir. Coolant leaks from the tube(s) connection point after I drive it any distance. Not a terrible problem after 15+ years! Anyone else have this issue?

    @David K Leaks, where the hose attaches to the overflow tanks are common. A snug zip tie often resolves the issue.

    I did my crazy splurge on having the Tacoma Detailed. I never spend money on myself. A friend told me to have the truck detailed, then think if I really want to trade it in. It's been four years and has 38,000 miles. Best to keep it another ten years. :)

    Beautiful!
    I get mine detailed every few years... but especially to remove the 'Baja pin stripes' after off roading on narrow trails.

    [​IMG]
    This was actually a wide part of the trail. The night before was when I (we) scratched up our Toyotas a lot!

    Good morning. Rain and 50° this morning where I am in SoCal.
    SpaceX may try again today for Flight 8 of Starship from Texas. I haven't checked this morning's news yet.

    Well, AZ Diamondbacks beating Seattle 11 to 4.

    And this project is complete - 1971 VW SB. This car gets about 25-26 MPG on the freeway.
    My Taco gets about 26 MPG when going 65 on the flat on the freeway.
    I love technology.
