They were good when I was a kid, more air flow, but in today’s engines, too much gets through them. I proved that on my ‘12 Subaru 3.6R outback, by doing oil analysis with Blackstone. Tons of silicates in the oil. I brought that up to the owner of the company, and all he could say was we are a...

My days of getting in my car and driving 450 miles non stop are long gone.

I use 93 octane Ethanol Free fuel from a BP station, and still have the rattle.

Like every thing else on the internet, this third hand information must be true. 🤭

Please don’t destroy your LC with a K&N..

A Lexus dealer told one of the inmates here, when he took his wife’s GX 550 in for the problem, that Toyota is aware, and may issue a TSB or RECALL, whenever they figure out how to best fix the problem, and/or get around to it. He said that they replaced the brake pads on her GX-550. My Miss...

Optima’s are awesome batteries! I’ve considered putting one in Miss Daisy in the near future, even though I have not had the same problem as you.

Thank you!

Still, inquiring minds do inquire.. but lets not tell the world..

Wow. I may have to put them back on my short list for Miss Daisy..

Just wondering if my GF’s Samsung phone (Google Maps) can also be used when she is in MIss Daisy, when I am not there (iPhone). I’m currently away from NC, where she and Miss Daisy are located.

Tell us more… 🤔

My first analysis for Miss Daisy..

It is made and bottled by Exxon (who as you know, also makes Mobil 1), for Toyota, to Toyota’s specifications.

It was stated earlier on this forum, that the vehicles are tested in a lab, with the vehicles on something like a Dyno, to come to the formation of the fuel economy numbers. I don’t know what the truth is.

Yea.. I believe them.. 🙄

Yea. I like Miss Daisy. A lot. More than my oldest son’s 2021 LC’s. He and his wife liked their 2015(ish) LC so much, that they bought two of them in 2021, since they would be the very last V8’s made. But, she has since sold hers, and bought a big Mercedes SUV for their growing family. (not the...

I haven’t seen snow like that since I left Idaho a decade ago. What tires are you using? (Are they 3 peak mountain snow rated?) And how did they do?

Thanks..

I used that for well over a decade, and loved it. My Radar now sells your info, especially to insurance companies. So it got deleted. Now I make do with the Apple weather app radar thought not as good as My Radar was.

I thought that they were air intakes for the cooling system for the traction battery.. I might be wrong, just ask my X..

I almost bought a 2021, before they disappeared. I was willing to swallow the horrible fuel economy.. I mean, what was I going to do, take the money with me when I died? I like Miss Daisy just fine..

^^^THIS^^^ X 💯

That would be easy to defend against. IIRC, the numbers come from the government. Not Toyota. And is based on 55 mph, no headwinds, no hills, etc.

^^^THIS^^^ X 💯 🎯 But.. to be honest, at my age, getting out to stretch the legs on a long trip on any highway trip is a welcome change.

So, I have Apple car play set up in Miss Daisy. My girl friend has an android phone(latest iteration of a Samsung IIRC). Can I set up the Toyota system so that if she is driving Miss Daisy, that her android phone can participate (google maps navigation)?

Thank you very much for that explanation EOD Guy! It was not insulting. I know and admit that I am a dufus at some things, but they still fascinate me. You explanation really helps a lot. Now I just wish that I could do stuff like that! That hidden magnetic switch is ‘next level’.

Most of it has been on hilly country roads, 45mph, sometimes up to 55 mph speed limit, with small town traffic lights to slow forward progress.

I still haven’t found the radio.. 🤔

Found this video a few minutes ago. It was super helpful for me, an over the hill baby boomer, who is very new to Toyota. Brian Ruperti does a lot of these.
