It's like my friends who all own Toyotas that regularly talk crap about my Ford....and yet I have rescued almost every one of them at some point. My truck showing up with a trailer or strap is like the unwanted backup car they always show in the Top Gear/Grand Tour specials.

Other than Honda Civic owners, I have never met more loyal owners than Toyota drivers. More loyal than BMW owners, more loyal than even Tesla owners. I was reading an article on how Akio Toyoda flipped a GR Yaris during testing, and in the comments section was stuff like "he's the most visionary automotive leader ever" . Seriously?

I would have loved to see the faces of your friends as you hooked up their Toyota's to your 'unwashed' Ford 🤣

Wife and daughter brought the Y back from their trip in one piece, thank God . Now almost has 18k on the odometer. This is by far the most used car in the family

You should see her Ioniq. Last time it was washed was when I took it in for the recall. She uses the trunk for storage, and has teacups and napkins all over the interior. She left something in the car that left a really bad smell, I had to pull out the mats and wash them all down. Now all I'm waiting for is her to dent or scratch it 😞

My car did an update last week and I thought something was wrong with my turn signals. Doing the "half press" of the stalk used to have the arrow blink 3 times - but now the half press keeps the turn signal on. I thought something was wrong until I realized that the car is watching and waiting for me to complete an action before it turns off the signal (action = lane change or making an actual turn). Pretty cool and actually the way it should be.

I also had an update on the Y on Tuesday night, but I always pull the signal stalk all the way down. It will wait for me to change lanes or make a turn before it shuts off. I've never done the "half press"

Interesting. I'll have to see if there is no longer a difference between a half pull and a full pull. PS- I feel like I'm in a Seinfeld episode.

Didn't you need to choose the option for it to change function? I saw the message after the update, which asked if I wanted to switch to the visual lane change option. It does work very well.

Check out the keying I got last night





Well I guess she's officially broken in. It looks like it can be buffed out, so not the end of the world. I didn't have Sentry on because there were tons of fireworks going on that would have kept tripping Sentry

BTW admins, the toolbar is completely missing in the desktop version. I had no way of uploading pictures. I had to go to the mobile version on my phone to be able to see the toolbar. All I see is the "Quick Reply" field which doesn't give me any options

suspect an issue with your browser or PC. Whack your cookies /cache

Even quick reply has a toolbar


also make sure you have enhanced interface full editor turned on (not basic) under miscellaneous options at the bottom

Thanks, I'll try that. Also for some reason email notifications from CL are all going straight into SPAM since yesterday. I mark them as safe, but they continue to go into the SPAM folder. I'm using GMAIL
