On top of that, the driver nearly rear ended a truck at about 90km/h if it wasn't for use yelling at him to tell him he was going strait for a truck that was nearly stopped on a "highway" so to speak. He then proceeded to turn to us and laugh like "LOL; my bad". On the topic of crash safety, in addition to fitting a passenger side seatbelt warning chime/light, wasn't it also a requirement for Toyota to submit to an additional crash test? I specifically remember some discussion about this. Such discussion as: Aurion, Falcon, Commodore ANCAP

I find it interesting how he used the seat-belt On my recent trip to China, the driver wasn't wearing one and man he was driving like a maniac. It was scary as. To make it more fun, the rear seats had seat-belts but no buckle. I was just wrapping the seat-belt around my arm and hoping for the best.

I think I would be more concerned about damaging the eyelid. Anyways, get a length of fishing line and tie the two ends to two sperate pieces of dowel or something similar. Warm the eyelids up with a hair-dryer (useful to have a mate do this while you attempt the following), and using your newly made 'wire saw', start working the fishing line under the eyelid. Eventually once you get it off, you can use some goo-remover/citrus oil/eucalyptus oil to remove the adhesive residue.

Yesterday I drove her back from Sydney and around 12am this morning I brought her to Hoppy's to give her a good wash.

Awwww shiiiiiiittttt. The following annoy me: 1) You are getting rid of these, 2) I'm heading back home to Brisbane in a couple of hours, 3) My car is packed so I can't fit the wheels in.

Spotted yesterday evening at 10:42pm at the intersection of Market and Sussex Street in Darling Harbour.... a white Sportivo with the plates "LFT-230". Is that anyone here? Also spotted that Green Gen 6 Camry with the TRD decals etc earlier that evening on the M4.

The little 'tick-tock' sound and feel you get is actually part of the mechanism that makes the indicators work the way they do. To be honest, I personally don't feel or hear it on my Aurion, so it may seem yours may need more grease on it's internal components. To understand how the mechanism works, have a look at the following link: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/turn-signal3.htm

Ditto. I have found that VSC and TC functions exactly the same in D as it does in S. What you are experiencing is most likely the placebo effect. One thing to remember... where exactly do you get the impression that "S" stands for "Sports"? Just because the Lexus has a sports mode, doesn't mean the Aurion does as well simply because they are the same manufacturer.

My addition for today. As I'm sitting here chilling after my spa today, I'm watching Today Tonight. There is this report about people complaining how their new Smart Meters used for their power monitoring at home is giving off harmful radiation that is causing health issues etc. One woman saying that whenever she is near it, she gets a headache. If that woman has a mobile phone, I swear she has no right to complain about the meter giving off radiation. FFS people. Get serious. This reminds me of some other story they had some time ago where some guy was saying that the copper pipes in your house cause EMF from the power lines running nearby to be amplified or something and therefore is bad for your health.

LOL... what place in the food court there doesn't. At least it's not like Landmark on a weekend.

Count me out. I will still be here in the Hunter Valley getting some rest after my spa treatment.

As mentioned above, only if you have windscreen cover on your insurance policy which is usually in the form of an additional payment per year.

Oh snap. I will pay more attention next time I am there.

How did I not hear about this. Win.

That's like the suggestion someone gave me about hiring a similar car and swapping the wheels so you get new tires. * I do not condone doing this however.

Try taking it to a few panel beaters and get some quotes. We can't simply say it will be <insert figure> to fix as this depends on what the damage actually is on closer inspection and dependent on the panel beater.

Go through insurance, hes going to be paying a bill alot more then that. Now Karma has bit the other guy on the a**.

Well the thing is, the Aurion isn't designed/intended to be raced so seeing professional comparative results is going to be a little difficult. I've taken my old Sportivo out to QR before, but the time I got means nothing unless I had a time done without the upgraded RSB. If the car isn't meant to be raced professionally, then what's the point you might ask? Driver enjoyment. Having the car feel like it handles much better is satisfying enough. On the non-professional scale of things, I have done many upon many mountain runs in my Aurion and the difference between the stock and upgraded RSB is very noticeable.

This man knows. Take a step back and think. If the strut tower bolts aren't exactly vertical, then of course it won't line up when the struts are in. Make the peace 'V' with your fingers. The distance between our fingers at the base is different to the top.

You either got: - Toyota - Wreckers - Private sale/eBay That's about all really. Personally, why bother with it. Just keep the spare for temporary use only and it won't matter if it is a steelie.

One more thing that annoys me more than it should are Foursquare cheaters. I know it's only a game as such, but it sure does p*** me off when someone steams my mayorship because they check into places near to them every day even when they aren't there.

LOL. Needing to get oversteer enjoyment by upgrading the RSB. Should have bought a RWD.

I want a watch that is like this: http://www.wristdreams.com/archives/2005/09/toyota_car_key.html Basically it is a watch with the Smart Entry module built in. No need to worry about carrying your car key then if you wear your watch all the time.

I so want!

My old Sportivo was driven pretty hard. A day at the track, numerous drag events, driving in 'S' mode with engine braking/downshifing 90% of the time, many many Nebo runs etc, and it was still going strong and smooth up until 99,9xxkm. Unfortunately the car died first :(
