I called Liqui and spoke to a tech person (Stephan) there about viscosity of oil for a GR Supra. He told me that Liqui recommends their 0W-20 full synthetic, which meets BMW's specification for motor oil for our 3.0 Supras. He did mention, also that use of higher viscosity oils can void the...

Of course, sometimes you park far away from any vehicles, and when you return, some are parked on the sides and front and rear of your car. That is highly frustrating.

This is why I kept my NC Miata. It weighs 2600 lbs, making it highly fun (top down, of course) on tight, curvy roads.

I've known many people who got carried away with real estate. They'd drive around in a faded Toyota Camry with 300,000 miles on it, just so they could keep buying property. When they finally thought they'd buy a new exotic car, they came down with an illness (like Parkinson's) that prevented...

I forgot to mention that my car has an auto transmission. That explains part of why my acquisition was so quick. It was $1500 over MSRP in Nov. 23.

I guess my 2024 is not affected.

Nice color! Mike Lewis is the service advisor. He seems to be a car guy, himself. I also take my wife's Lexus there on occasion.

That's a great routine! And while I can't say that I never owned a four door, I have owned sports cars since 1979. I'm still pumping iron, 3 days a week but I paused using 40lb dumbbells except for squats and lunges. My right rotator cuff rebelled. ?

I've taken my car to Poway Toyota, a few times, and highly recommend them. Their Supra tech had to replace an output shaft seal. It's been leak-free for many months now. I'll be taking my car there in late October/early November for its first oil change at about 5000-6000 miles. It has a bit...

Well, I have to admire you for being strong enough to climb in and out of your Supra. Many older folks are forced to buy SUVs, particularly for their ease of entry. My workout routine includes leg squats and lunges, as well as extensions and curls so that I can drive such a low-slung sportscar...

Some AI suggestions: Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): If the TPS is malfunctioning, it could send incorrect signals to the engine control unit (ECU), causing the engine to rev unexpectedly. Idle Air Control Valve (IACV): This valve regulates the engine’s idle speed. If it’s stuck or faulty, it...

Congrats, as well! I'm an old guy, too but perhaps not as old as you are. I bought an auto Supra because I knew I would use it on occasion with my wife in the passenger seat. When she's there, I turn on Sirius XM's Easy listening channel and drive mostly sedately. We often have a couple of cups...

My car sat at the dealership for 5 weeks without being started. Everything still worked fine when I picked it up.

Well said, RT. When I came up with a kinetic watch winder, my description includes motor noise at a constant RPM and at a certain distance away (at room temperature of 75-80F). When Car & Driver tests interior noise levels of a vehicle, they have to be consistent, not only with microphone...

Many years ago when I had a rotary engine mazda, when accelerating and then abruptly lifting the gas pedal, the exhaust pipe would emit what sounded like a shotgun blast. If I were downtown in a rough section, people would dive for cover. It was very funny unless a police officer were standing...

By the way, a noise level law without a specified distance from the vehicle's exhaust pipe(s), and the engine's rpm level is worthless.

It took me 10 minutes to peruse toyota.com and find my Supra. By 9:00 that night, I was driving it home. I can't imagine waiting for two years.

It might be helpful to list the part number and lowering distance, front and rear.

This occurs every month. I haven't been to one yet, but plan to at some point. https://www.instagram.com/rsdcarsandcoffee/?igsh=NTY2Y2ZwZHU3bW80

I have a Scanguage OBD reader connected at all times, and it never sets off the alarm. I did read in the owner's manual that this could happen. Some auto Insurance companies offer a discount if you allow them to install a speed sensor of some sort, but I would never go for it.
