I get anxiety just looking at @BayeauxLex 's fuel gauges every time he posts them.

🤣 Just showing you what’s possible…possible to run out as well. 🫣

It’s like a video game.

2 fuel pumps changed to date. 1 from a recall on previous RX 450h and 1 on the FK8 to run 🌽⛽️ and more boost.

Took the truck and trailer out to Deception Pass with my boy. Such an amazing weekend and the Tundra was perfection.

Love how it will adjust realtime based on driving conditions. I’ve never seen a DTE increase AFTER refilling a Lexus/Toyota like I’ve seen on BMW. Maybe it does because I refill while idling then jump on the highway and the DTE will increased from what was displayed leaving the gas station. But soon after getting on the highway I’ve seen the DTE increase 20-30+ miles like it’s adjusted to highway driving. 🧐

My dad used to have a Chevy single cab from the 80s with dual gas tanks. Remember riding down the highway and one tank would run dry, he flip the switch over to the other full tank keep trucking down the highway.

Guess it was passed down to me. 😆🫣

@AJT123 was right.

“Everyone makes mistakes, but how you handle it defines you,” said Kuniskis. "Ram screwed up when we dropped the Hemi—we own it and we fixed it.”

Nice!! Making memories in the Tundra 👍

Haven’t been up that way in a few — this just makes me want to get up there again soon…

[QUOTE=LeX2K;11923846]Showroom condition car looks like it has zero miles but it doesn't muffler is not original. 100% clean zero rust or any other blemishes except needs paint correction.

I loved this generation. Wasn't the Supra a variation of the Celica at this time, with different headlights?

Yes, more or less. The Supra did not split off as a separate, high-performance sports-car until the 1990s.
