POST CARS YOU CANT STAND

can't stand opel GTs just cuz a pedo drove one when I was in high school. I got so sick of hearing "poor man's corvette" from that perv.

[a.d._510_n_ok]

GM poached the PT cruiser designers from Ma MOPAR and the HHR was the best they could come up with.

looks like the unwanted result of unprotected sex between a PT cruiser and a special needs rhino.

I like this but in the way I like orange and brown shag carpet or pink polyester butterfly collar shirts or terry cloth hoochie momma shorts, i.e., don't wanna see it everyday but I dig the awfulness of it as a testament to a bygone decade where poor decisions were just dismissed as bad taste and not prosecuted as felonies.

I never understood the flip door on the rear wheel. That would just annoy the snot out of me when it came time to change a tire.

Oh, a little secret about the tC (or all Toyotas with a 2AZ-FE engine....) The water pump is leaking. I'm sure Fatcat will be in here soon and can attest to this, as he's a Toyota tech as well as I am. For some odd (or planned...... depending who you ask) reasonToyota has decided to have nearly all late model ('02-current) 4 cylinder engines "weap" from the water pumps. Coincidentally they have also developed a coolant that "crusts" up when it hits air over an extended period of time, therefore band-aid fixing all water pumps. It's not only the 4 cyl engines, however but those are most affected.......... So, anyway, you can rub it in that those swag-ass-bad-boy tC "car guys" have a SHITTY oil consuming, no good, coolant leaking, whopping 130whp CAMRY ENGINE in that Hellaflush whip.

 

end rant.

 

 

You are not kidding. I worked for Toyota for 6 years and just about every water pump (on 06 and up) Camry went to leaking but not as bad as the fucking 07 and up Tundra.

 

Oh dear god hate these trucks. A pain to work on, ride for shit, worse MPG out all of the trucks and ugly to boot. Then the people who own them and think they should drive like a fucking caddy with all terrain mud tires, oh my god. The people would get them and then complain about a wheel shimmy at 60+ every frickin time they came to get their oil changed. Those fuckers weigh a good 60 pounds per tire and rim with up 55 psi in them, yanking them off to balance took a good hour to do because we had to use these stick on weights that would hold only if you were REALLY lucky to do so! I got tricked into giving up my 2010 (new body style) Dodge Ram 1500 with hemi for a TTS package 4.6 v8 Tundra. Worse mistake of my life. The smaller v8 got worse mgp then the hemi did. I didn't have the truck for two weeks til I got another Dodge Ram. Toyota just killed the Tundra with it's newest body style...looks like the fucking platypus of the truck world.

[HRH]

ROFL!!!  This should be in insomniacs, but I just about died laughing!

 

[RatVonDude]

 

 

 

I don't blame Porsche for making two ass ugly designs, I blame the people who keep on driving these things.

[HRH]

Oh the Boxster isn't that bad!

[flatcat19]

I have made it pretty clear that I am not a fan of Toyotas. Not a single model does anything for me. Well, maybe the FR-S. But that's it. 

 

 

Now the Tundras. Camshaft housings leak. I've seen the leak coming off the truck brand new. 

21.0 under warranty. Takes 2 days; Front and top of motor completely torn apart. PITA job to do.

 

Water pumps? Lots of them. Every model. Whether it is the sealing plugs or the sealant, they suck. Easy money though.

2 hrs being an average cost. Some are 5 or so. I can do the 5 hour ones as fast as the 2 hour jobs.

Scions? 8 hours!!! I'll do them all day in 45 minutes.

 

Since about 06, 2AZ-FE(2.4L) that comes in the Camrys-rings get clogged with carbon, burn oil. 

Full re-ring, new pistons, bearings, and gaskets to repair. 22 hour cost to the customer. 

Oddly, I have never seen one fail within the 60K mile warranty period.

 

2AR-FE(2.5) that comes in most everything now, pressed-in heater hoses to the cylinder head leak. Only fix? Replace the head at 28.5 hours a piece. (I just did my first one in 10.5)

 

 

 

Toyotas suck. Piss poor engineering. 

[spitznoz]

pt cruiser = im not posting a pic fack dat

[RTB]

False. The hilux and land cruiser are brilliant. I love my 80 series. I wish they sold the turbo diesel version in the US

[flatcat19]

Ha. My dealership only sells the Land Cruiser on a pre-ordered basis. We will not stock them. 

 

 

 

I will add that I actually do like the FJ as well. 

Trying not to fall in love with it because it is now discontinued from Toyota's line-up. 

[laotsu]

i interned for a surveying company that had a FJ as one of it's feild vehicles. They said 6 months after they bought it the rear end had to be replaced and it has gone through two more in five years. they also said that Toyota told them it was not for offroad use.

 

 

whats up with a 4WD that's not meant for offroad? Shoulda bought a Forester or Outback.

[q-tip]

The fj cruiser is supposed to be their "off road" poster child, not for off road use!? Make it fwd with 8" of ground clearance then.

[r0p0doe]

 

 

The HHR is a bad trip down memory lane for lazy Chevy designers, and a blatant bite on the PT Cruiser.

 

The PT Cruiser is a rebodied Neon, and that shitbox has been covered already, lol

Don't forget about the awful looking ssr as well,...

[tr8er]

I think 2/5 of the cops here drive FJ's. It's absolutely the poster cop car here.

I would say that fjs are pretty weak from the factory. But it is easy to change to a much stronger axle parts. We sadly don't get the best toyotas in the US. The hilux and 70 series lc would decimate the market.

@ 2 guys defending the flex, happy for you but still can't stand 'em

 

 

 

 

 

That's sound like my buddy's 04 Chevy Colorado. All stock and yet somehow, he cracked the 5th piston in half and the crank snapped by the 4th cylinder.

any car that this stupid idea is done to
