    My experience in recent years, it's been mostly young (18-25) female drivers doing stupid shit (texting, doing 55-60 in a 40, running stop signs). See it regularly in my neighborhood.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    Is it under warranty? Fuel pump possibly? Or maybe a sensor went bad and its turning itself off to try to protect against potential damage

    Gotta ride a motorcycle to see the stupid shit people do.

    Was coming home from work the other day. Woman starts to merge into my lane. I'm in the number 3. She realizes I'm there and backs off. Two seconds later, blinker on. Moves in like before but just keeps coming. I cannot ride into number 2 and instead, have to ride the bots dots to get out of her way-she shrugs when I flip her off.

    No fucking reason to be in that lane. None. Except maybe...nothing. She almost killed me w/o even realizing what she had done.

    Them not excepting responsibility or acknolwedging they fucked up is particularly aggravating. An apologetic gesture goes a long way in difusing hostility.

    ...sometimes.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Yup. Only 27k and I have extended warranty to 75k/8 years.

    Fuel isn’t the issue. Starts right up every time like a champ and then dies within 2 seconds. Fucking rear bumper is cursed. This will be the 4th bumper.

    Replaced tranny still drives like shit. Toyota has no idea why.
    Although they do agree it drives like a drunk whore cold.
    And remember my wife works at a dealer. So I'm getting honest opinions. Of they have no clue.
    It hasn't failed on me yet. And if I drive like an asshole if runs great. Dont try to go slow though.
