Always heard what a great long lasting car Toyota makes


Davidson Deac II

Yea, I am leaning that way. I haven't made up my mind for certain, but I am leaning towards getting rid of it. Think I am going to start looking at my options on Monday.

Call a good mechanic, and help him find a transmission from a junk yard for him to install.

I did that and got everything done for $600. And this was a Z71 Tahoe.

Pull a Part.

I'm gonna run my 90 Corolla into the ground and then slap a new motor in it.

If I don't trade it for a 4x4 in a couple years.

I really could give 2 shits about the car I drive. There are much much better things to spend money on, like real estate or home improvements.

Never understood why anyone would want to invest so much money into a product that loses as much value as a vehicle does.

Then why do people drive festivas.

If I needed a work truck, I'd have a damn fine work truck.

But for getting me back and forth? As long as it runs smooth, I'm happy.

That's cool. You just asked, and I was answering.

Personally I have to have a large SUV, and it has to be in good working order, and in very good condition to perform my job.

I wish that I could have a smaller car thats good on gas...but thats not in the dice.

Actually, its under warranty and the dealer is replacing it free of charge. Point is that I am doubting the overall quality of the car since I am replacing the transmission at 65,000 miles.

I had a 1981 Toyota pickup. Easiest thing I ever had to work on. The only problem I had that it ran best on Copper core spark plugs. (typical iron core plugs made it ran terrible.) Once a year I had to replace all the copper core plugs because it would eat the electrodes. Then Bosch came out their Platinum plugs and I never replaced a plug again. I drove it 4 years in Minnesota, and the tail gate rusted out. When I moved down here, I bought a new one through JC Whitney and had a friend paint it to match the red of my truck. Drove it a total of 10 years and 122,000+ miles. Other than the fact it didn't have AC, I'm sorry I sold it.

    • Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15
    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
