What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It's just another way to shut the door, without leaving any fingerprints on the paint.

 

Interest on an auto loan accrues on a daily principal balance (in most cases with reputable lenders) by paying half the payment every two weeks you are paying half the months interest and then further reducing the principal balance so that when the next bit of interest accrues, they are calculating it on a lesser principal amount which means more goes towards your principal faster. Another good ideal is to make a little extra on each payment as it further reduces your principal. When you make a payment, interest is paid first and then anything left over goes toward principal, which is what they calculate your interest on.

here is a very very simple example not factoring in interest obviously. Your payment is $200 each month. You pay $250 each month. So each month there is $50 extra dollars going towards your loan. So every 4 months you are making an "extra" $200 payment. In a 1 year span, you essentially make 3 "extra" payment. 5 year loan... 15 "extra" payments... you cut over a year off your loan. Very simple example not factoring in interest but you get the general idea. 50 bucks a month turns a 60 month loan into a 45 month loan.

 

No provisions for changing the oil?

 

Exactly what I’ve been doing.

 

Safelight did mine. No issues.

 

Nope, comes off in 2 minutes though.. I'll be pulling it before any dealership visits.

 

So I finally installed the Taco Garage DMM (Dashtop Multi Mount) and cobbled together what I needed to make my preferred QI charger work with it. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Also installed the Taco Garage Yoda start stop button.

Woah, no need to yell

 

It’s in the post just above the first pic, but here it is again.

 

Just did my highlander twice safelight (not so great left tape on windshield and my alarm sensor half cock-eyed...2nd one done locally ma and pa shop, they orderd and got approved toyota glass and dropped it off for half day for whole job)I was told my insurances "glass department call center is actually staffed by safelite, so they re-direct everything to safelite initially... kind of scummy if you ask me...

 

Sorry, about that, thanks.

Installed the TG DMM today with the TG Mighty Magnet.
Wayyyyyy better than the dollar store vent clip I was using.
Super easy install. Magnet seems super strong.
Very happy with it!

 

There should be a passenger seat delete for all the use mine gets.

 

I think they're called garages. I have to ask my wife why she's parked in my wood shop.

 

Cool, it does seem like the bolts are easy to get to.

 

Sorry, garage is full I need to make it bigger though once my kids get cars.
