[Jeff Lange]

It is.

 

[Dirgle]

That's awesome Jeff, congratulations!

 

[OneJoeZee]

Cool Jeff.

Tis a very nice Rolla!

 

[trydrew]

It's a corolla. They are all "peppy" in a way.

Very nice Jeff. It helps that you know work at the dealership. I work at a Honda dealer and when we got our first 6spd Accord in all the stupid salesmen were beating the piss out of it. Most of our cars come off the truck with only 1-2 miles on them too.

I really feel like I have to tell you... do your best with the paint! Keep it protected and wash it with only the right goods. It may only be a rolla, but might as well do what you can since it's still new.
We always joke about how newer black cars are only perfect once... lol

 

[Ma70.Ent]

Maybe beating on the cars as soon as they're out of the truck isnt so bad. You should read up on motoman's breaking in technique. It seems pretty convincing, but who knows?

My AE86 is black as well as my brother's truck and the Supra is dark blue. I know all too well the downsides, haha.

 

[RazoE]

nice little car..

the hoods on Toyotas are getting shorter and shorter with each passing model..

the strut towers are right near the firewall..!


Those things are nice. My girl is looking at a tC, I might steer her towards an XRS...

 

[Jeff Lange]

Yeah, the bumpers keep going higher up as well making the hoods even that much shorter. I mean look at the Yaris hatchback, it's funny how small it is, especially when people put a hood deflector on it.

But it works I suppose .

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Do they sell SCION's in CA Jeff? Nice car.

 

[Jeff Lange]

No, we do not have any Scion's sold in Canada, though people do bring them up from the US every now and then. There are a few xB's kicking around, and we do have a tC on the lot right now actually, in silver.

[OfnaRcR4]

I'd rock it. Bout time they started making those look good.

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Does Canada use salt or gravel during winter?

 

[Jeff Lange]

Depends where you are, here in Calgary they for the most part just use gravel, but some salt is mixed in. In Ontario on the other hand they just dump salt everywhere all the time, lol.

Jeff

 

[SupraOfDoom]

Yeah, sadly they dump salt in WI.

That's a nice looking car, Jeff. Congrats on buying one brand new!

what are the specs on it? I like the old one with the Celica GTS engine (2zz) and the 6spd

 

[Jeff Lange]

2.4L 2AZ-FE engine from the Solara/Camry/RAV4
158hp, 162ft-lb of torque
5-speed tranny with 4.3:1 final drive

I think that's the main low-down .
