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

Toyota brings TRD Griffon GT86 to Goodwood [w/video]
Fri, 12 Jul 2013In the midst of the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, there's a particularly special Toyota running up the hill. This special entry is a GT86 (the cousin to our Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) that's been poked, prodded, and tweaked by the minds at Toyota Racing Development. The result of TRD's fettling is a nearly race-ready car.
Starting with the body, the hood, doors, trunk lid, and wings are all made of carbon fiber. The lightweight treatment doesn't end there, though. The bumpers, fenders, and diffuser all feature carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, while the windows are now made of polycarbonate plastic.
Under the hood sits the same 2.0-liter boxer engine found in the standard GT86, but its six-speed manual gearbox features a shorter final drive ratio for improved acceleration. The coilover suspension has been firmed up, and a TRD mechanical limited-slip differential replaces the Torsen unit. The TRD Griffon rides on TWS 18-inch wheels and Yokohama Advan tires. To bring proceedings to a stop, TRD has fitted its own mono-block caliper kit, complete with more robust racing pads.
Toyota teases 2014 4Runner, will debut on April 27
Thu, 18 Apr 2013The 2014 Toyota 4Runner appears to be getting a styling refresh that is as out of the ordinary for Toyota as the venue at which it will be debuting. Launching on April 27 at the 2013 Stagecoach Music Festival in Indio, CA, the 2014 4Runner looks to be getting more of an in-your-face design. Toyota says this marks the first time it has ever revealed a new product at a music festival.
While we only see two images of the updated 2014 4Runner, the new headlights break from the rectangular shape present on the current model for an edgy, scalloped shape. Below the headlights are vertical air inlets - looking quite similar to the 2014 Subaru Forester XT - but it isn't clear if all models will get these or just special trim levels. The other image Toyota released was of the smoked, LED taillight.
As the presenting sponsor of the music festival, Toyota will have legendary off-road driver Ivan "Ironman" Stewart at the show as well as an off-road driving course for people to drive the automaker's trucks and SUVs. Scroll down for a press release giving some additional information about both the 2014 4Runner and the Stagecoach Music Festival.
Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
