Looks like there are a few things that can go wrong with the center console. Any easy way of stopping the center console from falling down when weight is placed on it without converting to an 03+ type? I wasn't sure if this was a common problem. Thank you.

Dropping quick. Charlottesville, VA 4.99 a gallon. Now I see 4.95 a gallon at Costco.

I use Cosmoline RP-342 which has stopped the rust in it's tracks. Lots of valid points here. There is still alot of meat on the rockers. I pulled off the old junk still have plenty left.

I don't know. I remember the days of Camaros running SMC (sheet molded compound) and repairing things with fusor when panels broke without issue on the highway. Could be apples and oranges here.

Hi, this is exactly what I planned on for simplicity. Sorry, another family member was logged in before so reposting.

Hi, I have a set of these laying around and want to install them....might as well: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203117296066?ul_noapp=true What type of adhesive did/would you use? This looks to be the right stuff...

Virginia is a good State to skip around for a variety of reasons and Maryland had fuel tax relief recently which ended but may start again soon. Costco in Charlottesville is at 5.49 per gallon if you head that way. They are talking about lifting the fuel tax here again but thus far it has not...

Thanks for setting me straight. Lol @ February. I had Prius on my mind when I bought this thing....even more so when I bought this thing. I own one of them as well as I don't mind an appliance. I do like this car too though but my desire to drive hard has mostly left me. I guess in that case...

I thought that I had read with the VNT17, you can drive like a grandma with it (like I like to do) too without the vanes sticking. Maybe I misread this. Can anyone confirm?

I pulled the oil pan after jacking it up by the pan accidentally (tired and mistook it for the auto trans) and creating a small hole. :eek: I guess it isn't the worst thing on earth as I found a loose helicoil behind the drain plug when I pulled the pan and I wanted to go from a 5w30 oil to a...

Louisa County Virginia...was shocked to see $6.19 per gallon.

I am going to go with the 5w-40 version of my preferred oil now.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KGCO4QW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

So back to the tune if at all possible. I'd rather pay to have it tuned than undo my work. Who does a good tune for this sort of thing?
