Surprised everyone survived.




Yeah I've taken Anils advice on speed when he said something like "I used to drive fast but not since I have something to go home to" not word for word but I've been keeping it under 80 everyday which is weird since I was hitting 100+ erryday

Actually this happens most in your home state in Kansas. The troopers there love going about 3 under the speed limit. I have passed several on the turnpike.

I've passed LEO's on many occasions. I've also passed them going over the speed limit because everyone around was causing congestion by pegging the speedo and braking..

Maj GTFO !!!


Jeff, totally agree....i meant as a reply to Jeremy and if you are going 90 on a 70

even if you are going 5 over the limit and the cop is going 5 under, you can definitely pass them....

I was saying that the flow of traffic, for the most part is anywhere from 80 to 90! 85 is my sweet spot...but I'm trying to get used to 75.

Going over 100 just means you'll get home to your loved one faster! Add all those extra minutes up and I bet I'll get an extra year of love with my wife to be. You're just selfish brah, wanting to spend more time in your racing seats.

Nope.. I think there is a certain member here who can attest that this is not always the case.

Most states will say 5 and under, warning...but it's at the cop's discretion.

Anil, you shouldn't even get close to a LEO.. your car fits the profile of a juvenile delinquent and you're brown. I've heard of people getting beat for less.

Race card goes up your ass in certain counties in TX.

10% is the general rule since it's related to the fine.

recently the brake pedal started sinking in....did a brake flush and inspected pads and rotors and everything looked fine....

am guessing the brake lines are swelling under braking....

So you're saying after you brake, it sinks.. sounds like a shitty master cylinder. Quite common on Toyotas.

I'm 90% sure it's not your lines.

I'm guessing you broke the first one when trying to pop the trans fill bolt.. and you broke the second one by not installing the first one correctly.

well the brake pedal on the Lexus was never as firm as the pedal on the TL....

but recently I drove her car after almost a month and half and I was like ...the pedal was sinking a lot deeper in....

I did not want to start off with the most expensive part, so I ended up doing a brake bleed ($7) and checked all the pads/rotors (installed them a little over a year back)....all looked good

next I thought it would be the lines....never suspected a failure since the pedal was never firm....and always soft....either way, I might try a Centric or Beck Arnley
