CLUTCHES AND BEARINGS SHOULD LAST FOR YEARS. DRIVING HABITS ARE TO BLAME.

The only thing I have found that works for rodents is dryer sheets ( fabric softener). They hate the smell.

I would rent a truck. Cheaper than a new suspension.

It might be rated for 900 plus lbs, but that's almost half a ton.

Styling got me right away. I was looking for a rear wheel manual car that was affordable and fun.

Nothing out there like it in the price range that peaked my interest.

Using the emergency brake in this way is pointless and a very bad habit.
Do you stop your car using it too, of course not!
You'd fail every driving test using this method.

Tail light condensation

I'm afraid it won't go away... I had the same issue and it is quite common.
Dealer replaced mine under warranty. Toyota knows there's an issue, but not enough to recall it.
