Carrera as shop-crummy
Looks like my prized Carrera will have to be pressed into service as a Parts Chaser. My 92 Toyota 4x4 DD has lunched the motor (head gasket, water in oil oil in water, grrrrr) This is due to really poor work by a recommended shop that I dealt with in the past. Now I will have to replace the entire long block. Not a huge project, but I will have to use the Carrera to take my radiator, flywheel, fuel injectors, etc to get service.
I bought a Toyota because of the reputation, this one has been sort of a lemon in spite of the care I lavish on it.
Oh well, better than buying a new truck.
Just ranting, thanks for the sounding board.
