      Up for auction is a heavily modified 2010 Toyota Tundra.  I am the only owner this truck has ever had.  I am single and the passenger and rear seats have rarely been used, as can be seen in the pics provided.  The rear seats have been folded and kept out of sunlight the majority of time.  The leather on the driver seat is nearly perfect as well and does not have any tears or sign of wear.  There are no scuffs, scratches, or stains anywhere throughout the interior.  I am a part-time detailer and the exterior has been clay barred 3 times and waxed 4 times in the trucks short lifespan.  The paint is smooth as glass with a mirror finish.  There are the typical light scratches that can be seen up close associated with any vehicle that's been driven, but no dents, deep scratches, or body damage whatsoever.  The truck is my secondary vehicle and I've gone to great lengths to keep it immaculate.  It has never been in an accident, nor has it been serviced for any problems other than an O2 sensor that was replaced. The tires have roughly 75% tread left and I just had the truck aligned this past week.

        The truck puts out over 400 HP and 400 Lbs of torque with the larger gears and Cold Air Intake that have been added.  It's capable of going farther than most factory 4x4's thanks to insane clearance, extra torque, and EXCELLENT gripping from high-quality tires.  You must be social to own this beast!!!  My detailing customer agreed that this truck grabs more attention than his Ferrari F430 Spider.  I was approached by 6 people while taking pics for this ad alone.  I never go anywhere without receiving thumbs-up or being approached with compliments and questions about the truck.  I'm constantly being asked for rides in it by children and adults alike.  

       This was my first truck build.  It was only touched by 2 professionals and no expenses were spared.  Everything was done top-notch by 2 excellent mechanics who are also personal friends.  Unlike buying a vehicle from a dealer or multi-owner, you are bidding on a 1-owner truck that was greatly cared for and whose entire vehicle history can be provided to you.  The only reason this truck is being sold is due to my mother recently needing more financial assistance from me for the time being.  Therefore I am forced to sell my truck with a heavy heart. I will be happy to answer any questions from bidders and provide additional pics as well.  Despite the immaculate care and large fortune sunk into it, the reserve has been set lower than I've seen stock Tundras of the same year sold for on here in recent weeks.  Happy bidding!!!

Toyota GT86 engineer Tada recounts how sports car came to be

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Because the Toyota GT86, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ coupes are now a reality, it's almost hard to imagine the struggle that had to happen within the large, conservative corporate structures at both automakers for the joint project to even get off of the ground.
Speaking to those struggles on Toyota UK's Toyota Blog, GT86 Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada enlightens us with a recap of the sports car's earliest origins. For Tada, the first stages of the project must have seemed almost as dreamlike as the final product is to drive.
Said the Chief, "I had been working in the minivan department engineering new product, but a month after the meeting I was summoned. 'Forget about minivans,' they said, 'you are now working on the sports-car project.'"

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.

Next-gen Toyota Prius spied inside and out

Fri, 24 May 2013

Toyota has built itself into the industry's standard-bearer when it comes to hybrids, and it isn't going to let the poster child for gas-electric vehicles get stale on the market. These spy shots captured in California are our first good look at the next-generation Prius, which could come to market wearing a 2015 model year designation.
Even though it looks like Toyota may have blown its annual camouflage budget on this mule, we can clearly see that it will have the same iconic half-moon design that has been with the car since 2003. If so, this goes against reports from last year that suggested the car would be getting a different look inspired by the 2013 NS4 Concept. Although, this could also indicate that the Prius family will continue to grow - adding a new sedan - to the existing Prius C, Prius V and Prius Plug-In lineup.
These spy shots also give us an indication as to what the interior will look like, with a more stylish three-spoke steering wheel and an instrument panel design that sort of reminds us of a BMW. On the other hand, all the tape, cobbled together pieces and lack of space for a center stack display screen has us thinking this isn't what the final product will resemble.
