I live in Ohio and I know how to drive in the snow - I am the 1%

or else it gets jbot again?

I have become sick of being taken advantage of because of my mechanical ability, knowlege of cars, electrical experience, or outright desire to help people. I am tired of being called, PM'd and bothered only when someone wants me to do something for them. If you want me to work on your shit most of you know where I work and you can take it there. This is in response to all the times I've been treated like I'm getting paid when I'm not, loaning parts that were supposed to be replaced, getting bitched at when I'm trying to help you, and outright wasting my time. To the few people on CR who treat me like a real friend you know who you are and that this does not apply to you. I will provide my opinion in the tech section since its my option to post there. I'm only sorry that in trying to be nice and helpfull I've became so bitter, but when I realized how much less popular I'd be if I knew nothing about cars I stopped careing. I wrote this for two reasons, the obvious, to say it, and so I don't have to repeat it.

There is a special place in hell reserved for what I call the Yellow Light Racers. As you approach the stoplight following the Prius in front of you going 30mph in a 45 zone, you're trying to keep your hands on the wheel instead of tearing your hair out. You, the attentive driver, notice the crosswalk counter. ...9 ...8 ...7 The driver in front of you slows down inexplicably. Maybe they're thinking about turning right at the light. Who knows. ...6 ...5 You're still 75 yards away, the crosswalk counter taunting you... ...4 ...3 Oh look, the driver in front of you seems to have gotten a call on their phone. Better slow it down another MPH or two ...2 ...1 As the crosswalk counter stops, the light turns yellow, and you're 25 yards away. Suddenly, the car in front of you lurches forward with the power of a thousand dying suns, and in the blink of an eye they have somehow accelerated to 1 meter per second slower than the speed of light. Precisely one millisecond before the light turns red, they blast into the intersection, probably telling the person on their phone "OH YEAH I REMEMBER WHERE I WAS GOING ITS JUST PAST THIS LIGHT I'LL BE THERE IN 2 SECONDS", leaving you in a cloud of their exhaust. As you see them turn into the driveway 20 feet past the intersection, you stroke the blade of your hunting knife, look in your rearview mirror at your own reflection bathed in the red glow of the stoplight and think to yourself, "soon..."

Weve seen a lot of these come in, its the transmission mount on the top of the transmission. A very easy job to do yourself. There is a TSB on it, depending on how many miles you have. Toyota extended it to 60 months, 60,000 miles. Some info on the TSB T-SB-0068-09 February 19, 2009 Transverse Engine Mount - Abnormal Noise and Vibration on Acceleration Some 2007 - 2009 model year Yaris vehicles may exhibit an abnormal noise and vibration during one or more of the following conditions: ^ Accelerating from a stop. ^ While shifting gears.

and who says this is the only place where there is no freedom of speech..........

Thx duck and Ron

Dude, please do tell where I started anything against you. I think the bottom line is that you are a guy that gets all butt hurt over little issues online and feel that the real world is hidden within you computer screen. If you just don't like me, that's totally cool. I don't care. But, your 3rd grade attitude and little blurbs of nonsense is getting tiresome and apparently to others. And, about finishing it... Not sure you finished anything other than showing you have almost zero to add...

I'll play devil's advocate: If we have known for this long that the temps would drop (and it was raining all today so there will be ice), why were there that many people driving poorly enough to cause 9 spin outs? I think some people need to learn to drive better and anticipate poor driving conditions.
