What if he was family? Well, I caught my nephew writing with his finger all over the hood of my beloved Pearl.

I yelled to him, his father (my brother), his mother, I kicked him reaaly hard in the butt and kick them out of my parents house. We don't talk to each other since then (last summer). But I still dont feel satisfied

I had to wax it again after that

These things get me so violent, but its not common to find who was.

Check this out

This is something that one of members of the club here in Argentina did. Basicly he uses it in a building garage, not in the car park because it might get stolen. But I have to admit, It had its results...

Cheers

AB

I was sarcastic....

Of course I love my Corolla! But I know it's limitations, that's all. I know it's not the most powerfull, it's not the fastest, It has not cutting-edge technology, and it's not the best looking car. I bought reliability, low fuel consumption, confort and a low maintenance car, all in a cheap car. So that's why I did it and I'll do it again...

Cheers

AB

Yeah... I know what you mean...

I hate it too because I have to fill up the tank every 500km and change oil every 10000km, What was I thinking when I bought it...?

Cheers

AB

Hey Daryl, Sorry for taking so long to respond!. We went out for a quick holiday (no cellphone, no computer, no television, just sun, sand and the sea)

I tried what you posted in a closed park and it was a little bit difficult to coordinate at first, but then it got really easy to lunch. I also tried to shift manually from L to D, but I didn't have much result. The Transmission knows better how to do it.

I still dont have a 1/4 mile time, but I think it's not going to be that bad...

Cheers and thanks for the tips!

AB

Great Daryl, thanks for the info.

Actually I'm talking about a standard Corolla, no mods or whatsoever. I've always wandered this, if you rev it or not, if you stall it ot not, if you floor it right away or if you do it gradually.

I clearly understand what you say about gradual at first and then fast, I've felt it sometimes. I think it might be related to the torque converter and the inertia.

I'll try those tips and see how it goes!

And one more question, should I live the Overdrive on or off? I have 3 speeds + overdrive tranny

Cheers

AB

Another stupid question about something stupid to do.

If you go to the track to get your 1/4 mile times, how do you start, hummm, with an AUTOMATIC????

Cheers

AB

Another stupid question:

What is the "VIP Style"? What does it mean?

Cheers

AB

Oh, I now understant what you meant by dash camera. I thought you wanted to film some times thats why I suggested a go-pro.

Hey Steele, the camera was mounted on the roof? The suction mounting kit are to be trusted or should you put some security harness just in case?

Cheers

AB

What do you mean by "to wear them properly"?

Cheers

AB

Cyclists!

Not for having a sign saying "One less car" (because U cant affort one!)

Is that in a red light they stop between lanes, and they rest on the trunk! So I get the scratches, the sweat, and if I move, they fall!

Some day, somebody will do this...

But are the paddle shifters optional for the aurion? is there an aftermarket assy to install on the steering wheel?

No, and no, respectively.

Oh!, So quite a fantastic job! Very skilled..-

PS: Amazing, I´ve noticed that right hand drive cars have the turn signal lever.... at the right side of the steering rack! I have it on the left side of the rack in a left handed car!!!

I'll get so confused....

What a jewel I found here!

Yes, yes, yes. It's a famous beer here in Argentina.

Great video.

Cheers

AB

I Fixed the extremely annoying starting problem when hot. I changed the fuel filter and found that the fuel line O-Ring was misplaced and twisted. So I cursed the dealership for doing it wrong and fixed the problem. If you want to have it well done, You'd better do it yourself....

Cheers

AB

No way!, Leave them as they are, perfect.
