Hi, up for auction is my 80/81 Toyota Corolla five door /  Wagon. I say 80/81 because the door jam badge says Oct. 1980 and the registration says 1981. I did my best to take pictures of everything the good, the bad, the ugly. Firstly the car is in running condition and has been my daily driver for the past year or two.  It has a oil leak but I'm not sure from where.  It shifts smooth and runs like a top. It tends to get a little "squirrelie" once you get past 65 mph. I never had the need to get over 60 mph on the roads I travel. To tell the truth this has been the most reliable used car I have owned to date. The A/C belt is missing, the previous owner removed it. He said the A/C didn't work. I run premium grade fuel in her and get and average of 30 mpg. The brakes and clutch seem to have a lot of life left in them. The tires have decent tread. I recently replaced the starter, alternator and battery. I was trying the trial and error method to a starting issue(it would just click). Turned out it was just some corrosion on the ground cable at the battery connection. As far as the body goes there is a few dings, dents, damage and rust. Hopefully you can see all of it in the pictures. There is a bit of damage on the passenger side fender by the bumper. A dent on the rear door. A small bit of rust at the bottom of the back side windows and a bit on the bottom of the front doors but nothing major past that. The piece of chrome trim/rain trail is crinkled. At some point someone replaced the drivers seat. The rest of the seats are original and the passenger seat is torn up on the butt. The head liner has some tears and stains of some sort.  It's not a modern head liner and dosn't hang down or anything of that nature. I have some aftermarket floor mats in it. There is a crack in the dash. The gauge cluster lights don't work but there is a rigged up light that works just fine. The windshield has a crack from one end to the other and was "repaired".  The radio didn't work so I hooked up a small amp with an audio cable to play my I pod through some small speakers. All the gauges function like they should. Past that this thing is a sweet time capsule of a car. It's amazing how many heads it turns for what it is. I hate to let this one go. I live in Elm City, NC and my phone number is 252-360-7915. Call anytime. I would feel better if you came to look at it prior to bidding but that's on you. If you bid and win you must pay withing 24 hours and all sales are final. But you should come take it for a spin and fall in love!  If you pay but cant pick it up soon that's fine I will park it in the shade and await your arrival for pick up. Ask away with questions! -Jesse

First Toyota unintended acceleration case headed for trial

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Toyota is going to be back in the spotlight, as the first of its unintended acceleration lawsuits is headed for trial. This case covers a Los Angeles sushi shop owner, Noriko Uno. According to the what the family told The Detroit News, Uno only put about 10,000 miles on her 2006 Toyota Camry in four years. Uno was apparently afraid of high speeds, avoiding the freeway and taking a route home along LA's surface streets to avoid them.
On August 28, 2009, Uno's Camry suddenly accelerated to 100 miles per hour, eventually striking a telephone poll and a tree and killing her. The family contends that Uno attempted to step on the brakes and pull the emergency brake, neither of which brought her speed under control, while Toyota maintains that improperly installed floormats and driver error have been behind the majority of the 80 cases expected to be heard in court.
In Uno's case, The Detroit News is expecting the trial to focus on the lack of an override if the gas and brake pedals were pressed at the same time. Brake overrides were installed on Toyota's European fleet. The Uno family attorney will need to prove to the jury that it wasn't driver error that killed Noriko Uno.

Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race Scion FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Toyota has been hosting its Pro/Celebrity race at the Toyota Grand Prix on Long Beach since 1977. The charity event, which has raised millions of dollars over the years, traditionally pits Hollywood celebrities against professional athletes (including race car drivers) on the full Grand Prix course in modified street vehicles. The short, sprint-style race is popular with the crowds as the amateur drivers race uninhibited - the result is an action-packed race with plenty of excitement and automotive... er... carnage.
Over the decades, the drivers have raced a variety of Toyota products including last year's front-wheel-drive Scion tC. But this year, Toyota announced at the Chicago Auto Show that the new rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S would be stepping up to the plate. The good news only became better when Toyota Motorsports invited us out to Southern California's Willow Springs Raceway (the same circuit where the drivers train and practice) to be one of the first behind the wheel.

Raising A White Flag To The Competition
We all benefit from highly competitive battles. In the automotive sector, few campaigns are so closely fought as the decades-long struggle for supremacy in the fullsize half-ton pickup truck segment. The Ford F-150 has dominated for ages, but Chevrolet, Ram and GMC have been closing the gap with freshly redesigned trucks that are rocking the industry.
Today's half-ton trucks are better than they've ever been, and we have fierce competition to thank for that.
