Car Guys Discussion / Re: Well....I finally caved-in...
Last post by doctor4766 - Today at 08:59:46 PMThe word Reliability is often used to describe Toyotas, at least here in Australia anyway.
All the mining companies and fleet hire vehicles are mostly made up of Toyotas too.
I've personally had 2 Hiluxes that were super reliable, in fact I drove one of them around the country 20 years ago with zero problems.
We also have a Rav4 that my wife uses and we've yet to have any issue despite it being 15 years old now.
And none of my customers ever seem to complain about their Toyotas.
I think you'll be ok

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 03:11:00 PMIs that around town with lots of stops and starts? Not highway/freeway driving?
I have not kept track of my MPG just driving around suburban streets, just on the freeway. I got 15.1 on 2 separate fill ups while driving 65-70.
Yeah, the 5th gear is a .64 ratio but I'm still running an almost 500 cube engine with an 850 cfm carburetor.

Cars For Sale / 1969 Charger for sale
Last post by Bandit360 - Today at 12:17:46 PMI'm selling my car when MECUM auctions return to Las Vegas this November. It's been a GREAT car, and has been a pleasure to drive. It has an ABSURD amount of horsepower that primarily turns rubber into smoke.
I bought it in 2013. It came from Wyoming is the story I heard. A man declared personal bankruptcy, and tried to hide this asset from the court. Bankruptcy court got wind of it and seized the car - sold it at auction.. It changed hands a couple of times before I got it and removed the tired 383 motor and Torqueflite 721 auto transmission to complete the restoration. But the poor guy who did such beautiful body and paint work to bring this car alive was left with nothing.
1969 Dodge Charger SE
XP29H9B2517XX
HEMI, Automatic, Air Conditioning
426 Hemi engine now displaces 572ci
Motor built by Tim Banning at For Hemis Only
Test stand dyno measured 738 hp at 5700 RPM and 712 lb-ft of torque at 4900 RPM
A41 (4L60E) overdrive computer controlled automatic transmission
rated for up to 650 lb-ft torque
built by Silver Sport Transmissions
Fitech Dual Quad fuel injection
Hydraboost Power brakes
Power Steering
Air Conditioning
March Performance accessory Pulley System
Electric Windows
AM/FM radio converted by professionals. Looks original. Plays loud and clear from your iPhone now via bluetooth. Four speakers. Yes I cut the door panels. (If you wouldn't have, I don't really care).
The car is beautiful Mazda red. Obviously not an original color (but should have been).
NO vinyl roof (I consider that a huge PLUS!)
I'm going to post this on the forum him an effort to generate interest for the auction , but also to present it for sale now, and say "make men an offer I can't refuse".
I used this forum and the great group of guys here provided excellent expert and knowledgable advice when I was finishing up this car. Thanks for all your help guys.

Last post by John_Kunkel - Today at 12:12:59 PMSome parts of AZ have what's described as a "Mediterranean Climate" with winter temps sometimes below freezing but summers that rarely top 90 degrees. Show Low is one, spent some time there...lots fewer snakes there, too.

Last post by John_Kunkel - Today at 11:59:34 AMQuote from: Mike DC on February 21, 2026, 02:23:55 PMTons of people ride around playing music loud enough to be a bigger issue.
The PRK has a law against that too. Appears to be seldom enforced.
