I bought a used Toyota Tundra Platinum. I noticed that the dashboard leather was sticky to the touch. I thought it may be dirty so I tried to cleaned it with a mild soap and water solution. Cleaning did not help. I then applied a leather product I got from the Toyota dealer. This also did not help. The leather appears to be degrading or melting somehow? It has slowly started to progress to both doors. Any help would be appreciated.
>>28715007>>28714957Neither of these will stop it.You need a sealant on top of the layer that's oozing out OP.
Maybe a thin layer of epoxy?

Black vinyl spray paint (flexible)? A bit ghetto, but I'm not sure what kind of a sealant would give even a semi-permanent solution.
That's some product the previous owner put on it. Not from the factory. Factory leather doesn't oil itself, it dries out.
Thoughts on the CX-5?
>>28714930Ah, cx 5 is not really that far behind to the standard RAV3, if behind at all if you can get a natural aspirate one without CDA. Shame that there won't be hybrid CX 5 until 2027

>>28710241I don't know if it's 'for men', but the Mini Countryman JCW gets really impressive numbers for something 'only' 50k. A Macan S is more expensive for less pull. Anything else with similar performance like the X3M or Macan GTS or Cherokee Trackhawk or base Cayenne is pushing 80k+. For that matter, it'll edge out any elantra n's or civic si's too. A CTR on one end or turbostang on the other are still tops in that price bracket though.
you get unlimited fuel for lifetime but you have to choose one car from this pic. This will be your only car and you cannot use any other car ever againwhich car do you choose /o?
>>28716249Yeah dumbass, because Jaguars famously appeal to the young

>>28716263They have been aiming for a certain demographic lately for sure.
>>28716240Exact same.
When the economy implodes, will they start making smol cars again?
>>28716145Japan is still producing kei cars
>>28716145anon...
>>28716150we actually really liked small cars in the 1980s, just not the 4 cyl fwd ones.something about the ford focus euro body styling just repulses us, it's like a van but for poor people.
>>28716145No they’ll just start doing 15 year auto loans.
>>28716145>>28716150We are already are in a downsizing era, just with lifted hatchbacks.
What's work like in one of these things?
>>28716387not directly in the shower you retard. id use the sink in the shower room. the water that comes out of the spigot is literally the same water for showering. youre still a gross retard bc you dont clean your truck to the point you attract roaches
>>28716109Wish these were sold at truck stops. That and those zip lock chembags you shit in.

Does anyone have the old /o/ sticky infographic lying around on their hard drive somewhere?
Explain the side by side marketPic related is the Kawasaki Teryx H2 powered by the same supercharged engine as the Kawasaki H2 and H2R.Its like a quadbike but huge. John Deere equivalents are like a kei truck but not-road legal making them less useful.
>>28716472hell yeah
>>28716486I love living in NH and ripping my Tenere and WR250R on class VI roads. Many of them are impassable to anything except hikes, ATVs and maybe lifted jeeps. It’s always funny when the road is so old and unknown that you basically drive through someone’s farm to get to them yet it’s still a public way.
>>28714424On the weekends out in farm country everyone is out driving these fucking things around for fun. I go out there on my motorcycle sometimes and in good weather there are more of these on the road than regular cars or pickups. I assume they get them for ranch and farm chores, then use them for ripping around like dual sports. Sometimes you can see them shoot across the road, going overland across fields and power line access.Not gonna lie, I probably would too if I lived out in the sticks.
I think I have a unique perspective on this. I live very local to the Hatfield McCoy trail system. I've been 4 wheeling since 1999. Back then HMC trails wasn't even a glimmer in the owners eyes. It was all "outlaw". We used to ride down our buddies trails and come out in peoples back yards and we were not only allowed to by the owners, we knew them on a first name basis. The trails were fun and very inviting, even for novices. I've pulled quite a few weekends out there with a saw clearing trails myself just for the love of it. I even had a keyring that looked like a janitors keys just for all the fences the mine put up. Yes, the mine company gave me keys. We used to do poker runs with hundreds of atvs and you could go back the next weekend and you couldn't tell there was even an event. NOW that sxs are the main thing, a regular weekend of them driving around tears the trails up. They tear up the hill climbs, they wallow out the mudholes so deep you need 40 inch tires, 12 inch lift and portals to even have a chance, and they leave trash everywhere. Most of them drive like complete assholes and speed through town with their screaming piss twins and 3 cylinders all through CVTs. It's a shame what has happened but the money is what matters. There's a lot more profit on a $30k sxs with a bunch of useless tech added to it than there is a (now) $10k atv with bare essentials and the trails have really suffered for it. The area is still beautiful though and I still call it home but I feel ashamed that our economy has no choice but to entertain this scourge.

When did cars become so fucking shit?
>>28716389Yeah, that's the Odyssey, we're talking about the Accord. Are you illiterate?
>>28716362>my wife>childwho the fuck cares about any of that gay shit.
>>28716397Kek there are so many shitbox 2003 accords rolling around for something that "fails so often" these car reliability common problem websites are such a crock, meanwhile there maintenence items and the fucking radio breaking constantly which the community knows about but the common problem websites dont mention.
>28716342>wowwie a touch screen and bluetoothdesu these days you can just buy android tablet that can just fit into older car consoleyou can give any old ass car a bluetooh connected music player and rear camera for under $200
>>28716487The sad part is that the aftermarket Carplay Android auto units from Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony etc might be a better experience than the OEM stuff the car company gives you.
can i just buy a cheap 60s coupe and put a chevy small block in there? >t. third worlder that wants to drag race
>>28713611since you have to ask - no, you don't have anywhere near the skill.
>>28714257>paper slip wheelieswut?
>>28714518Don't you have like Novas and the like over there? Like just unexceptional 2-doors from the era, not necessarily compacts.
>>28714518Well it makes sense you want a chitty lmao
>>28716141When the front wheels lift off the ground just a tiny bit (like just enough to slip a piece of paper under them). It’s ideal in drag racing.
>buys exactly one car>cars becomes his entire personalityI seriously hope you guys dont do this.
why not? 2004 model... two options 80,000 or 190,000....about the same coin...cop or not... how does it differ from a 2002 v6 camry that's manual transmaintainence costs? driving fun factor?
>>28716292U wot mate? Are u ‘avin a laugh?
>>28716292What the fuck are you trying to say?
>>28716292jesus fuck 10k for an xv20? maybe if it had the supercharger...holy fuck
>>28716292It's gonna be another 20 years until that model is considered a gem.
>>28716320They came with superchargers?
So now that the dust has settled which is better?
>>28716422You can make more power with a sbf than a sbc but its ~50% more expensive and the power output is not linear to the increased cost.
>>28716002take your meds
>>28716001Im a ford guy but I think right now GM is in a better place
>>28716367Based
>>28716149That's only with the economy model and enormous idle hours.

>>28708476I keep seeing stories with my police department using the flock cameras to track down stolen cars
>>28716048Stories like this are basically native ads for the company. I have no doubt that they are useful for tracking stolen cars, but they're also tracking every single person who drives by and selling the data. There's no regulation to stop them from doing that.
>>28711163I can't speak for Lowes/Home Depot specifically but I can give an explanation for this on other chains. For example have you ever noticed that the same thing happens with fast food restaurants where there always seem to be a bunch of them all right next to each other? One of the reasons for this is that McDonalds became so good at scouting locations for for their restaurants based traffic flow, visibility, and other criteria that would maximize patronage that other fast food chains simply stopped doing their own research into this area. They would just wait for a McDonalds to pop up in a market they wanted to enter and then build their competing restaurants as close as they possibly could to the McDonalds under the rational that if McDonalds picked that spot then it must be good. Something similar is probably happening here.
