On Wednesday the 10th I put some LED bulbs in the map/ dome light & in the hatch. Literally a night & day difference, especially for the map/ dome.
Also put in a brighter LED for the ash tray, which also helps out a lot.

Cool story I know.
Little updates are still updates.....

So back on May 2nd (2020 in case thats not clear) got the urge to do something about that nasty tan door card fabric (w/ moms help of course)...







Its not perfect or professional but it works


Then on May 9th I decided to change the oil (had 174,651miles), since the last I did it was October 2018 when I resealed the oil pan. AND its not leaking! While there I adjusted the E-brake & rotated the tires (found one rim was slightly bent, but I'm just gonna send it).

The old turd cleans up well...






Yesterday went out for a cruise w/ a friend that I havent seen face to face in 4+ months thanks to "self-quarantine/ stay at home orders" & COVID-19 BULL$HIT.
We did not break any speed limits wink.gif but lets just say I blew the cob-webs out & there now should be less carbon build-up on engine componets.
Anette can make you matching visors! I can't think of anything more Nebraska than plaid flannel door fabrics.

Probably going to try & find a grey headliner & visors. I have grey rearview mirror & sunroof switch/ map light from the junkyard. Not sure how plaid I wanna go.
Santa Claus, called, wants his pj shorts back.

When are you getting the other celica seat....

Learned a lot in 10 years...I hardly log in anymore, last loginToday Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOLIf you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.
I prefer the 6gc seats over 7th gen. But the 7th gens were really cheap & in decent condition. I don't like leather seats because obvious reasons & these are so dry they don't hold you in place. That why I have a 7th gen cloth for the driver's side.
when's the engine swap?

Loving that interior ,next head liner . I did mine with the ''BRIDe" pattern and the visors matching but with the mirror side in a solid color and sunroof cover in solid. I like what you did ,is different.

Windy? Yes. Windy? No. Nebraska is flatter than a Chinese gymnast and straighter than Mike Pence.

Just kidding, there's probably some good stuff along some rivers and in the Nebraska National Forest.

So... I decided that I better start my turd since it's been a few weeks & it's -5°!!!! Let it run while I cleared off the driveway last night. Made sure the fans kicked on a few times & scurried back inside.

Oh, & it's birthday was a few days ago, it's been tree years now.
Only -5? Sounds downright balmy!

That's warm... This weekend the high is supposed to be -3° & the low -15°.
Sounds like here last weekend. It's rough on the cars for sure.

I really want to drive my car but... Snow is melting & it's pothole season here. So I'll probably wait awhile longer. Not like my car is anything fancy but I'd rather not have it be a rusty pile like the truck.
I was just in Omaha, too. lol Glad I missed that week of freezing cold and had to deal with it here at home.

But it almost sounds like, down there didn't fair so well, lol.
What were you in Omaha for?



I just might drive it this week & not give a f*ck.

yeah. it sucked for a lot of people. a friend of mine was without power for 91 hours only to find out that a tree had fallen on one of the power lines. There's still a lot of homes without running water. We're getting there though. A lot of the electricity providers are scrambling right now trying to figure out how to manage the rates and future prepping.

Was up there for a total of 2 weeks for work. Small town. lol

Definitely not a good situation for a lot of people. I myself lost power for a little over an hour (but I got other thoughts about that situation, & we'll save those for another time & place).


Yeah if you can't get from one side of the city to the other in 20min it's either because you hit ALL the red lights or a crash causing traffic to back-up. LOL.


If you're in the area again, hit me up. I'll try my best to show you around.
Of course that offer extends to anyone.
How far from the Corn Palace?
