I bought new remote thingies cause the others were lost and they want way to much to program them. That isn’t fair to charge a hundred dollars at the dealer for a simple something that they keep secret. Please help if you know, thank you.
I guess I’m only talking about the 4 cylinders here. Someone once told me that the Echo gets close to 37-40 mpg, but I’m looking for a car with slightly more room. Are there any other roomier 4 cyl Toyotas that get this kind of gas mileage? BTW, I’m talking about automatic gasoline engines only.
If so, where can I find it on the internet
Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna XLE with 28,000 miles. Last month while camping with our family of five, the big automatic sliding door on the right side of the car stopped working. via Seattle Post-Intelligencer
It came up immediately after an oil change.
OK…we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about concrete. It’s not especially important to our day to day lives…is it?
You bet your Wii it is. Concrete is the most used substance on the planet. We talk about plastic bottles and disposable packaging. That crap PALES in comparison to the amount of concrete we use in the world. Eight percent of human produced carbon dioxide is a direct result of the mining, processing and transport of concrete!
And, in the end, it’s strong…but it could be stronger. And when it reaches the end of it’s useful life, there’s nothing to do with it but throw it away.
Enter HYCRETE! Hycrete is not only more durable than concrete (because water cannot penetrate it) it’s also extremely easy to recycle. Just grind it up and, voila, it is the same stuff it was before it was cast. Hycrete is cradle to cradle certified as well as LEED certified.
The World Economic Forum just named the company that produces Hycrete one of the few 2008 "Technology Pioneers." And we just wanted to say, congratulations, you rock…thanks for saving the world in a seriously powerful (albeit unglamorous) way.
At the risk of beginning to sound like Google’s hired PR firm…we’ve got another fantastic green announcement from the search giant.
Google has just released their UK Carbon Footprint Project and already it’s receiving a lot of attention. In partnership with the Energy Saving Trust, a non-profit organization addressing climate change, Google developed their own brand of carbon footprint calculator, with some great ecogeeky features.
My 99 Camry LE V6 started making this loud noise from the front recently. It is much harsher at startup but dies down a little after it’s warm. I took it to a couple of mechanics and they agreed that I had rust damage to the exhaust system.
One of them said that the ‘flex joint’ was broken and the entire assembly would have to be replaced. Quote $1200. Is there any place I can buy the exhaust assembly cheaper?
