Opinions and/or experience with Autozone Airtex fuel pump for '89 Toyota? by muzician21
Have an '89 Cressida with 160K plus miles on it, running the factory fuel pump. No issues currently but looking to take a long road trip and seems like a good idea to do some pre-emptive wrench turning. Autozone had two, an "Asian Manf'd" for like $160 something, and an Airtex for $130 something,...

What percentage of 20 year old cars are on the road? by C. E. White[_1_]
A Toyota commercial they are running in my area claims that 80% of all Toyota sold in the last 20 years are still on the road. This seemed to be a very low number to me. What do other think? I would have thought given Toyota's increase in sales over the last twenty years they would have had...

Brakes unable to stop runaway Lexus in California? by john
So slamming on the brakes enough to cause tires to catch fire still can't stop the car? That's scary! "In a 911 call, one of the passengers said the Lexus was speeding at 120 m.p.h., and witnesses said the car’s tires were on fire when it crashed – possibly from the driver slamming on the...
