Driving up to Jegs in the morning.

Your yota looks like alot of cars that come in the shop with multiple warning lights on,it looks like you need to invest in a tire pressure gauge or did you let one of those small tire shops install some tires or valve stems for you and did you take a seat out and turn the key on. We were setting those airbag lights off at the place I worked in Sharonville constantly when someone did not plug in the airbag wires,problem with the Asian and European vehicles is they had to be taken back to the dealer to get light turned off unlike the domestics that just needed to be plugged back in.

I headed back south and stopped in at Jegs to get the fuel cell. On my way out this 4X4 van was sitting next to me. Cool van but it looks like it's getting ready to eat that little 'Yota.

One of the new tires has a screw in it and it is leaking out slow. I bought a plug kit but I haven't gotten around to putting it in yet. Put 35 PSI in it and it will hold for a week or so before the light comes on.

The air bag light was suppose to be fixed when it was in the shop from when Amy got hit. The shop did such a poor job on the entire car I didn't take it back to have any of their screw ups fixed. I figured when the warm weather came I'd take care of most of it. They didn't fix the airbag light. The bumper is not sitting flush with the sheet metal and when they sanded it to buff it they missed a spot with the buffer bigger than a softball. I took it to this shop because of the good things I heard about them. I won't even take mine back to get what they missed or didn't do right. There is no way I'd tell anyone to ever use them for their needs. I'll adjust the bumper and buff it. I'll have to take it to a dealership to have the airbag light turned off. I don't know how to do that.

If you know anyone that has a up to date code scanner I think they will turn off the airbag light,the one I have is too old to update and since it will be a long time before I own anything that will have airbags and tire pressure monitors so no sense in spending the money on the scanner. Watch who you have change the tires too as alot of those small tire shops wont spend the money for the equipment to deal with the tire monitor systems,I asked a tire shop if the tire monitor systems can be deleted but they are federally mandated to be on the cars and no they cant.

Am I the only one that noticed that the speedo is on 90?

I noticed, but that Yaris has a smaller weight to horsepower ratio than my 2010 Silverado so I didn't mention it.
Yaris - 2,295 pounds / 106 hp - 21.65 lbs/hp
Silverado - 6,800 pounds / 302 hp - 22.52 lbs/hp

Opticle illusion

The little car gets almost 40 MPG and I have had it up to 115+ mph. It may go faster but it would take a steep down hill and pushing wind to get it there.

I liked the reply from Ma Bailey when she seen this picture. She said something to the effect that none of the other gauges was working and wondered if the speedo was broke.
This shot was coming back from one of my trips down south in the Plymouth. The speedo worked just fine. None of the other gauges worked but the speedo did. It was a little slow. If I remember right 5 to 10 miles slow. So not that 100MPH is any big deal but that old car rode smooth! You can see my reflection in the speedo. Two hands on the camera to take a picture. That car would run 100 in a straight line, hit chug holes and still stay true all day long.
Here's my cruising speed until I hit London, Ky.

I guess that I'm just a big wuss. I have absolutely no clue as to the last time I went 90mph on a public highway. It probably has something to do with the fact that I drive for a living and the last thing that I need is a ticket with a 90 on it.

You're not a wuss I'd call it smart. I'm driving slow 90% of the time. Just at times on the open road with 100's of miles to go I get the lead foot. It also has to do with how others are driving. Some parts of Ohio they will run right over you. Look back at that picture and look at the lanes. I was in the slow lane keeping up with trafic. Note the other cars.
