Did anyone else notice our smooth transition between cars and girls? That's twice that we've done that now.
Back on topic: Today I browsed the Internet for many hours trying to find some wheels that I like. Should've bought Dustin's rims when I had the chance.

The "Toyota Cavalier" was for the Japanese market from my understanding. Of course for the longest time Chevrolet brought in the Corolla and re-badged it as a Nova and later as a Prism.

^^^ Correct. It too suffered from "unintended acceleration" but nobody paid attention to those. I swear it's like people expected their Pontiac to break or something.

It was caused by the floormat/user error not a defect with the cars. |

Today, my DS axle started clicking during low-speed turning. I was hoping it would hold out until I pull the tranny, but no dice. It lasted a while without grease, so no foul on the part really. Hope I can pick one up in-store tomorrow. This post has been edited by SwissFerdi: Aug 29, 2012 - 10:48 PM -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Indeed it was due to floor mat slippage and user stupidity. I'm sorry, but if you don't know how to put your car into neutral so you can come safely to a stop you deserved to run into a tree.

Dont forget turning off the ignition, the emergency brakes and the brakes in general. Ive never driven a car with a more powerful engine than brakes. |

^Indeed. Especially something like a Prius or Camry. Also being front wheel drive the majority of your stopping power is on the wheels the move the car as well.

F****** A!!! My four wheeler throttle would stick and i would put it in neutral and shut it off.. I was 15, but people who are older than 30 have problems and complain. I'm sorry but arent you from the generation of cars where you spent more time working on the car then driving it!!!

Today I changed my oil for the first time since the rebuild. The engine has 450 miles on it. 500 more miles of driving, then I'll change the oil again and she's ready to roll. I'm getting sick of the break-in driving...
