I used to live in East Tennessee (Knoxville) for 10 years. My wife's family lives in Sevier county. No state income tax to speak of and high sales tax. Knoxville is an oversized college town. I would move further out than Halls for a retirement place. I would test drive your anticipated final...

I bought my car used it has about 13000 miles total. I put about 8000 miles on it in two years. No issues at all. You can search through this forum and get idea of failures experienced by owners. Electronic hardware follows a bathtub curve on failure rates. If you are under the current warranty...

I normally do not buy extended warranties. $2300 and personal savings can fix a lot of issues. If one makes you feel good at night, I would make sure you understand the exclusions in the policy. The majority do not cover bumper to bumper. If you do intend to do mods, I would make sure that they...

It has been a rainy summer in WNC, a lot of afternoon thunderstorms. If you desire to ride the dragon, a weekday morning would be my recommendation. There are other nice mountain roads to drive in WNC that Helene hasn’t closed. Moonshiner 28 is one.

I have had screws/nails in fairly new tires. The FOD wasn't deep enough to flatten the tire once it was pulled out. I would pull the screw out with a pair of dykes and see what happens.

I keep a spray bottle of rinseless car wash around to get bird poo off between washes. I use it on the plastic engine cover if it looks nasty enough when I open the hood.

My late Uncle George had 57 Belair in same two tone color. I took a ride in it to church in the early 1960s when I was a real young lad. It brings back memories. Good luck in your trade or sale.

If they want you to sign a waiver, go to the tire shop that you normally use.

If your car is eligible for the Toyota Financial Extended Warranty, any Toyota dealer should be able sell you one. If you search this forum or google, Midwest Toyota pops up a lot. I assume they may be a high volume warranty seller. I bought my car used, so the finance office clown was trying...

I looked in the mid Atlantic forum. There is a thread for North Virginia Dealer Service reviews,

If you are paying out of your pocket, I would talk to a transmission specialist shop about your issues. How many manual transmissions does a Toyota dealer even service over a years period?

If you ever been there, it is the merger of 74 and I85. I was in my lane and I was going by truck, like I said in 13.

I was in the right lane. I was about to pass by him and he came into my lane. He clipped my back corner and spun me.

No deploy by any airbags

I hope it is just cosmetic. The back drivers side wheel is really wonky looking. I think most of impact was taken at that point. We will see once they start dismantling the car.

On I85 around Gastonia NC, an 18 wheeler pulled into me today and got me spinning across several lanes of traffic. It did scare the crap out of me. Tomorrow, I need to get started on the insurance company tango.

If you have Bimmerlink app, you can check the car for any codes. If not, take it into the dealer or to a BMW independent mechanic where they can do a quick diagnostic. I looked at Bimmerfest real quick and a 2018 BMW had a similar beeping while parked issue but the poster did not post any...

Tire rack has a comparison of firehawk tires versus other "inexpensive" performance tires. I ran these on other cars in the past. I remember them being noisy and losing a lot of grip below 55F. According to Tire rack reviews, they either fixed the noise issue or I am picky.

It is in a Shipping Container on its way to Togo.

Hazard insurance is usually the deal breaker for these sales. They typically try to fast sale you on an outrageous price when it is free for online sellers. I did get an email from the local Toyota dealer. They do include 24 months of hazard insurance in the 4 for price of 3 but they only offer...
