YOU WILL GET TONS OF ATTENTION IN THIS CAR! Every red light in NYC someone's giving me the thumbs-up or telling me about the one they used to have.

For sale this 1983 Corolla wagon with the original 1.6 (gets tremendous gas mileage) and the automatic trans. This car is currently insured, registered, and inspected in New York with a clear title in my name. This is my daily driver; she gets parked on the streets of Manhattan at night and Brooklyn during the day. LOTS new on this ride done by a trusted legit mechanic, much of it with warranties.
New; entire brake system including front calipers and rotors, rear drums and wheel cylinders, plus e-brake & cable. Stops on a dime with no pulling.
New; entire front suspension including control arms, tie rods, bushings, shocks. New rear shocks as well.
New; entire power steering system including a brand new steering rack and new pump.
New water pump & thermostat.
New timing belt just replaced.
-Fog lights re-hooked up (they go on with the headlights automatically and look great).
Has an aftermarket GT steering wheel; the horn works great but works from a button on the dash.
The previous owner said the trans was rebuilt but I have no proof except that it shifts & downshifts perfectly.

As I said I drive this beast every day and it gets unbelievable MPG. Full older custom exhaust was just checked out by an exhaust shop who declared that it is tight throughout.

*The car is rusty with some holes; that yellow paint was sprayed right over the rust and it's bubbling in the back.

*Driver's seat is loose on one side due to a recently broken mount or something. I drive with the back seat folded forward which props it up.
*Radio does not work
*A/C looks complete but doesn't blow cold
*Dashboard is beat all to hell with huge cracks all over it.
*Speedometer doesn't work and stopped at 163,000! (all other gauges work) I've had the car since springtime and have taken it to Boston, Providence, and New Paltz so I'm sure it's way up there. I got the feeling that before I got the car it hadn't been driven much in years.
*Carb probably needs to be replaced as it runs rich. I don't really care since I usually go like 10 miles a day, but some days it smokes and really ought to be done.
*Small oil leak that also smokes occasionally, and when it does it's smoky.

Recharge Wrap-up: Senators want stronger RFS, Toyota working to improve mobility in Bangkok

Fri, Apr 24 2015

A new E15 bill has been introduced to the US House of Representatives. Sponsored by one Democrat and three Republican congressmen, the bill is a companion to the Fuel Choice and Deregulation Act of 2015 recently introduced to the Senate by Rand Paul and Chuck Grassley. The House bill's goal is similar: to remove certain restrictions to help get E15 to the marketplace. This bill also targets the EPA and its rules regarding the Reid Vapor Pressure of the ethanol blend. Read more in from Domestic Fuel. A bipartisan group of 37 senators is urging the EPA to strengthen the Renewable Fuel Standard. Stated reasons tend to focus on economics and energy security, but also on the future of other alternative fuels. The RFS "has strengthened agriculture markets and created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the new energy economy, many of which are in rural areas," the senators say in a letter to the EPA. "A stable RFS will also provide the certainty needed to unlock future investments in renewable fuels and necessary infrastructure, reduce our nation's dependence on foreign sources of energy, and drive innovation and progress toward cellulosic, biodiesel, recycled-waste, algal, and other advanced biofuels." See the full letter at Senator Chuck Grassley's website, and read more at Domestic Fuel. The Toyota Mobility Foundation has launched a pilot program in Bangkok, Thailand. In partnership with Chulalongkorn University, Toyota's program aims to help "people move, grow and explore in a world that is comfortable, safe and clean," says Toyota President Akio Toyoda (traditional rickshaws are pictured above). The program will focus on reducing congestion by creating sustainable shuttle and park and ride services, encouraging people to use multiple modes of transportation, use traffic simulation models to pinpoint particular problem areas and work with police to optimize traffic signals. The Bangkok project is expected to last a year and a half, ending in December 2016. Read more in the press release below. Realizing the Future of Mobility: Toyota Mobility Foundation Launches First Pilot Program in Thailand Program Supports Foundation's Global Mission to Advance Solutions for a More Mobile Society Tokyo, Japan (April 22, 2015) - More people everywhere are about to get moving. Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) today announced that it is launching its first pilot program.

Toyota will steer clear of driverless cars

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Toyota executives say the company's primary focus is on safety. At least for the time being, that means the company won't pursue development of a driverless car.
Speaking at the company's advanced safety seminar in Ypsilanti, MI, Thursday morning, Seigo Kuzumaki, Toyota's deputy chief safety technology officer, said that Toyota envisions a future driving environment that optimizes the best of both humans and computers, not choosing one over the other.
"Toyota's main objective is safety, so it will not be developing a driverless car." - Seigo Kuzumaki

Watch the Muppets go for ice cream in a Toyota

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

Do Muppets drive? We're not sure it's necessarily a good idea, but it's been known to happen. Fozzy called his hibernating uncle's Studebaker a bear's "natural habitat," and Doctor Teeth wouldn't get the Electric Mayhem very far without his band's psychedelically painted school bus. But how about Rolf in a 2014 Toyota Highlander?
That's what we got a glimpse of in the run-up to the Super Bowl, and the same combination (plus one Rizzo the Rat) that features in this adorably ordinary video below. Ordinary because it's just a couple of guys going out for an ice cream. Adorable because, well... they're Muppets. See what we mean in the surprisingly entertaining two-minute clip below.
