UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1992 LAND CRUISER WITH ONLY 84,500 MILES.  THIS VEHICLE SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE AS A VACATION HOME VEHICLE WHERE IT RECEIVED ALL OF IT'S REGULAR SERVICE AND WAS DRIVEN VERY LITTLE.  THE NEXT OWNER WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHO ONLY SOLD IT TO ME BECAUSE HE BOUGHT AN OLDER LAND CRUISER THAT HE CONVERTED TO BIO DIESEL.  SO HERE I AM, THE PROUD OWER OF THIS GREAT SUV.  THE ONLY REASON I'M SELLING THIS IS BECAUSE I HAVE A COMPANY VEHICLE AND MY WIFE AND I NEED THE MONEY TO BUILD A NEW HOUSE.  I HAVE ALWAYS DRIVEN TOYOTAS AND I USE THE BEST TOYOTA TECH IN THE STATE TO SERVICE MY VEHICLES (MCINTOSH IMPORTS IN MT. PLEASANT, SC).  HE WENT THROUGH MY LAND CRUISER AND SAID IT DOESN'T NEED A THING.  I TRUST THIS GUY SO MUCH THAT I DRIVE 2 HRS TO HIS SHOP WHEN I NEED SOMETHING DONE.  HE'S SO HONEST YOU COULD PLAY POKER WITH HIM ON THE PHONE.

HERE IS WHAT WAS ALREADY DONE TO IT:
-NEW OEM SHOCKS
-COMPLETE FRONT AXLE REBUILD -BY A LAND CRUISER TECH (ALL OLDER LAND CRUISERS NEED THIS DONE)
-NEW FUEL FILLER PIPE -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH
-NEW PREMIUM STEREO, SPEAKERS, AND AMPLIFIER ADDED -WORK DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL AUDIO SHOP
-A/C CONVERSION TO R134 -DONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH
-BRAKE SYSTEM REDONE BY A LAND CRUISER TECH.

I WOULD LITERALLY DRIVE THIS THING ACROSS THE COUNTRY WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT.  IT RUNS/DRIVES EXCELLENT AND HAS NO MECHANICAL ISSUES.  EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD AND I DON'T THINK YOU WILL EVER FIND A NICER CRUISER WITH THIS LOW MILAGE.

THE INTERIOR IS PRETTY MUCH SPOTLESS.  THERE ARE NO STAINS IN THE UPHOLSTERY AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN SMOKED IN.  THERE IS ONE SMALL SEPARATION OF FARBIC AT A SEEM ON THE DOOR SIDE OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT.  IT'S AN EASY FIX AND IS ONLY THE SIZE OF A NICKEL.  THE FLOOR CARPET IS SPOTLESS.  YOU CAN EASILY SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

THE ONLY THING THIS VEHICLE NEEDS IS A NEW PAINT JOB.  DON'T GET ME WRONG, IT DOESN'T LOOK TERRIBLE, BUT IT'S A 22 YEAR OLD PAINT JOB.  IT'S NOT BAD ENOUGH TO EMBARRASS YOUR KIDS IF YOU DRIVE THEM TO SCHOOL IN IT BUT IT'S THE ONLY THING KEEPING IT FROM BEING AN ABSOLUTE "10".  IF I END UP KEEPING IT I WILL PAINT IT SOMETIME IN THE NEXT 2 YEARS.  THERE ARE NO DENTS OR BODY ISSUES.  THE FRAME IS RUST FREE.

THIS IS THE MODEL WITH THE DIFFERENTIAL LOCK BUTTON ON THE DASH (E-LOCKER) THAT IS VERY DESIRABLE ON THESE VEHICLES.

TIRES HAVE APPROX 70% OF THEIR TREAD REMAINING.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL ME AT 803-944-0776

MILEAGE WILL CHANGE AS I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE APPROX 1 DAY PER WEEK.

I STARTED OF THE BID PRETTY LOW AND THERE IS NO RESERVE!  BID AWAY!

VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN THE COLUMBIA SC AREA.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]

Fri, 14 Dec 2012

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Cars most likely to be involved in accidents

Tue, Nov 30 2021

Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.

Toyota explains what names like Camry and Yaris mean

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Ever wonder where automakers get the names for their cars? You're not alone. The sitcom Seinfeld opened Episode 94 - the one where George Costanza buys a Chrysler LeBaron instead of a Volvo - with a bit about nameplates like Integra, Supra and Impreza. Toyota, clearly, is not exempt from choosing evocative but enigmatic names for its models, and now the Japanese automaker is taking us through the etymology of some of its nameplates.
Names like Supra may require no clarification, but what about Camry? That comes from the Japanese word kanmuri for Crown (which is, incidentally, the name of another Toyota sedan).
Yaris? According to the company, it's "an amalgamation of words from Greek mythology and German. In Greek mythology, 'Charis' was a symbol of beauty and elegance. Toyota swapped the 'Ch' with 'Ya' - German for 'yes' - to symbolize the perceived reaction of European markets to the car's styling."
