I'm planning on retiring the car at 1,000,000


Hopefully by the time my car would hit 1 million, I'll have a new Toyota. When you buy a car that never breaks down, the interior and misc. stuff falls to sh!t. :evil:

So I've noticed. Hence my decision to redo the entire interior.

Yeah, I've been buying replacement interior parts recently. Ugh. PITA but worth it in the end.

It is a pain. I have no idea how they manage to attach some of that interior stuff...

...that is until I hear a loud "CRACK" when I try to take something off.

Today I resealed all the air ducts (the foam stuff around the edges of the ducts was almost completely gone) That was not the most enjoyable job.

too true: I'm in the 150k club and I thought I was getting leaves stuck in my blower box. It ended up being a rubber seal.

I've still avoided any rattles or squeaks, unlike every other car I've owned.
