You think it could be a disgruntled employee?

What kind of damage, keying cars?

g90 please (not g80 ) and i got to the tire shop (about 4 mi. away) and was out of there in about 15 minutes (Discount Tire does free tire puncture fix). not a hardship. and no one drives 'forever' in any car or any tires.

ftfy.

Thanks friend. Had not one mechanical issue for the first 15 years on the road…last five years, it’s about an average of $1000 per year in repairs. It is superior to 21 the 4R I have. Rides better on 17” tires, is two rows with a two tier load levelling shelf in the rear, has nicer door panels with cool door lights…is a V8 and there is no screen which is honestly better IMO.


now if you did the proper five tire rota…(ah nevermind) lol. That sucks though you have to deal with that now…


Thanks. Appreciate that.

I’ve said my point. So have others. I questioned the value of having staggered tires and I got my answer and a lot of posts were in defence of it and I don’t agree from simply a peace of mind for long distance trips reasons point of view .. I simply don’t have to worry about my trip being interrupted in any way if I drive my SUVs (knock of wood I haven’t had to use them). I also see why some desire them so much even though I disagree with those views, I can see why. With that said..i think… it’s time to move on.

But something I learned today is that Toyota used to do cross tire rotations with four wheel and five wheel rotations. Somewhere in the last 20 years they have gone to front/back rotation and no cross..and full size spare get spare rotated on one side…even the same model LX470 was cross rotation and then the same model LX470 went to front/back and spare on the side. You learn something knew every day.

The 90s Toyota Supra had staggered tires…I never knew that till just recently

That old ES hasn’t had a tire rotation in a LONG time lol

Toys4RJill

At the age of your ES there. at that point. You skip out on some maintenance

I don't think it's any former employee of any business in our building. They're hitting vehicles in several parking lots around. I haven't heard any details of the damage.

I hope they end up getting some unplanned dental surgery.

Almost spit out my coffee on that one.

Autoshow in Toronto set an attendance record. I think it was a mistake for VW, MB and BMW to miss the show. Honda and Mazda too 👎🏻

Wow that's impressive and certainly bucks the trend.

Autoshow's are still in decline though. 10 years from now it will be like walking around an appliance section at HD or Lowes.

I think regional shows will go away. And then we’ll just have the major shows which will be ever so popular.

all supras including current one have staggered wheels/tires.



i try

aren't all shows regional?
when i think of car shows and especially sitting in cars that hundreds if not thousands of others have done as well, all i can think of is germs.

Toys4RJill

In one actually likes cars.. I think it’s a risk worth taking

SW17LS

You've developed quite the aversion to germs...

I enjoy car shows, I think being able to see and experience all the new cars is a huge benefit to a car enthusiast. Pictures and videos and all aren't the same. I'm happy to see some shows doing well...that show looked great...

Toys4RJill

‘Have to kinda enjoy life. I mean, if somebody actually likes cars, they could appreciate an auto show. if you like a nice steak dinner, you don’t wanna go to a restaurant from time to time?
