Up for sale is my 2005 Toyota Corolla XRS.
The XRS is Toyota's souped up version of the Corolla. With the same Yamaha 2ZZ-GE used in the Lotus Elise and a tight 6-speed manual transmission, this car is athletic and zippy. The suspension is lowered and tightened at the factory, giving her sure and nimble footing. Check it out on Google or Wikipedia! The XRS is superbly well built and very popular.

I have taken excellent care of this car. All factory recommended maintenance has been performed at proper intervals. Oil changes have been performed every 5000 miles with Mobil-1 synthetic. She has been hand washed, hand waxed, and garage kept her entire life.

She sports several upgrades, including
 - Pin-striping and wheel well accents
 - Professional tint job on back windows and sunroof
 - Motegi lightweight alloy wheels
 - Bridgestone Potenza tires
 - Injen cold air intake
 - Magnaflow exhaust
 - TWM short shifter with weighted shift knob
 - Sony XPLOD radio head unit
 - Bazooka sub-woofer and amplifier

Nothing has been done to the engine and drive train, excluding routine maintenance such as fluid changes. She is extremely reliable, and has never given me trouble or left me stranded.

 - The engine runs strong and starts every time in all weather conditions. It idles smoothly and pulls cleanly through the rev range.
 - The transmission shifts smoothly and all gears and synchros engage without trouble. The short shifter gives each gear a very exact and precise feel.
 - The clutch and flywheel have less than 40000 miles and work perfectly; smooth engagement with no grinding or slipping.
 - The XRS features four-wheel ABS brakes, which work extremely well. They grab hard and track straight.
 - The steering tracks true and has recently had the alignment and balance checked in January when the new tires were installed.
 - The A/C was recharged last summer and blows ice cold. So much so that the top two settings are really only needed after a long day in a hot parking lot. 
 - All lights and indicators are good, including high beams, fog lights, and interior lights.
 - All electronics function good as new. Cruise control works properly, all power windows track properly from top to bottom, all power locks work correctly, wireless key fob locks and unlocks every time.
 - Fuel economy is very good. I routinely get 28 MPG on my split city / highway commute. Roadtrips normally show better than 32 MPG.
 - The interior is in great condition. Floor mats and carpet are new-car clean. Head liner is un-torn / un-stained. Seats and upholstery are mostly clean with some small discolorations and no rips or tears.
 - The exterior is in fantastic condition. No rust, dents, or body damage. Paint is clean and even. She looks like a much younger car!
 
Also included are user manual, wheel lock-nut tool, stock shifter and knob, stock intake, and stock radio.

Despite her excellent condition, she is still a used car and sports a few blemishes. There are some scratches on the right running board, a couple door dings from other cars, two bird poop spots on the hood, and various small nicks on the front of the hood. There are also some discolorations on the rear seat upholstery and the interior driver door handle is peeling on the back side. She also took a love tap to the bumper a year or two back while I was stationed in Pensacola. Fortunately, no serious or structural damage was done, and the damage was replaced with OEM Toyota parts by a certified professional body shop. It was a service in disguise, as the old bumper was pretty scratched up from whatever the previous owner liked to drag in and out of his trunk.

This car has a clean history and will show up well above average on any vin history check. Check out the free one eBay provides at the top of this description.

This is a truly excellent car with no parallel. She looks great, runs great, drives great, handles great, and has been a blast to own. Sadly, I am changing duty stations with the Navy and it is time for me to part ways. I'm going to miss her! This car has been a reliable friend for some of the best years of my life; I hope she can go on to serve you just as well!

Buyer owes $500 deposit immediately upon winning auction. Full amount due within one week. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Toyota FT-1 Concept presents a future we want to live in [w/videos]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Toyota has brought its A game to the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, showing off the striking FT-1 Concept. Short for "Future Toyota," the FT-1 is, we're imagining, the supposed Supra Concept we reported on early in December.
Penned by the Calty Design Research team, the FT-1 draws inspirations from the FT-HS and the Lexus LF-LC concepts from 2007 and 2012, respectively. We certainly see a bit of Lexus LF-A in the design, while there's more than a hint of Formula One in the FT-1's pointed nose.
"Our team was heavily influenced by Toyota's sports car past, especially Celica and Supra, and we sought to capture some of that history. It is an aggressive, track-focused sports car concept with a presence that has been amplified for shock and awe," said Alex Shen, Calty's Studio Chief Designer.

2013 Pikes Peak Hill Climb, Practice Day 4

Fri, 28 Jun 2013

The fourth and final practice day of the 91st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is complete. Tomorrow everyone will make any last-minute adjustments and get their cars, their bits and bobs lined up in the pits for Sunday morning's this-time-it-counts run.
The Unlimited runners took on the top section of the course today, Sébastien Loeb and his big-mouth Peugeot acing the practice test again with a time of 2:11. Rhys Millen's team proved its got the engine issues of two days ago in the Hyundai PM580T sorted out, posting the next-best time at 2:27.16. The reason we had to dip all the way into the hundredths for his time is because he nipped Romain Dumas by just .31 of them, the Frenchman in the Norma M20FC PP running the course in 2:27.47. In fourth came the Frenchman in the monster Mini, Jean-Philippe Dayraut six seconds back at 2:33.
Time Attack competitors, also on the upper section, were led by Paul Dallenbach in the Hyundai Genesis Coupe with a time of 2:36, Porsche pilot Jeff Zwart crossing the line six seconds later at 2:42, fellow Porsche driver David Donner coming in another six seconds back at 2:48. Dallenbach has topped three of the four practice-day sessions, sliding into the second spot behind Donner only on Practice Day 2.

Toyota hangs on to title of world's largest automaker for first half of 2013

Fri, 26 Jul 2013

General Motors and Ford can have all the success they please, but it doesn't seem like America's two largest manufacturers are going to topple Toyota in the first half of 2013. According to Reuters, Toyota moved 4.91 million vehicles in the first six months of 2013, representing a 1.1-percent drop from the same period in 2012.
GM is on the rise, though, with a four-percent increase in global sales, to 4.85 million. Volkswagen, still sitting in third, saw a 5.5-percent jump to 4.7 million vehicles in the first half of 2013.
If this pace continues for Toyota, it'll finish 2013 in the top sales spot for the second year in a row. The manufacturer fell to third, behind GM and VW, in 2011 after earthquakes and tsunamis ravaged its production capacity.
