Buying used Avalons

I shut off my Facebook account three or 4 years ago.. I'll tell you it's really hard to find decent used cars anywhere else but Marketplace. And just reopened it last night and it's like a candy store.

Before and during... Stay tuned for the after pics!

Honestly, bodywork is way easier than it looks. Painting like a pro? Well, I'm no pro, so Maaco will be painting it.

Obsessed with stairs

Whenever my wife or I head towards the stairs to go upstairs, Ozzy is already halfway up. When we reach the stairs, he barks like crazy! Does anyone else have an Aussie that does this?

Autobody for 2000 Toyota

Apparently, most shops won't touch a car that's over 20 years old. I was involved in an accident that was not my fault. My car still runs great. I'd like to get it repaired by a shop or do the work myself.Does anybody know a shop that would do the work on a car this old?

Another accident that wasn't my fault.. this is my 5th

Girl pulled out in front of me tonight.. Mazda CX-9

All of her airbags deployed.

I t-boned her.. we are both fine.

Someone sell me a 2000-2004 Avalon please 😁

But seriously her axle snapped and I'll probably drive my Avalon home

Ps my newly installed primed fender needs a new fender now.

Swaybar upgrade on 2000 xls

Today I installed a Whiteline BTR39 Rear swaybar with Lateral locks and Moog K90313 greasable swaybar links.

Words cannot express the handling improvement.

Highspeed corners I was previously scared to take due to body roll are INSANE NOW.

The car has drilled slotted rotors and power stop pads.

OEM Monroe Struts installed in 2024.

Incase you think you can't upgrade to a 20mm rear swaybar.. here is some info:

The 2000 Toyota Avalon (XX20 chassis) shares its rear dual-link suspension architecture with the XV20 Toyota Camry (1997–2001). Whiteline lists the BTR39 as direct fitment for this vehicle platform.

Amazon has the swaybar for $240 is comes with new high performance bushings and lateral locks.

My son is attending Clemson of the fall and I'm looking for a place to find furniture near Clemson. Does anybody know any good deals or does the college have any contacts??

Shutter plate gap on HRX217K6VKAD

My HRX217K6VKAD has a gap between the shutter plate and deck which is causing grass to get past it and collect in the chute area. Should I caulk the Gap? The mower is less than a year old and in great condition. I have only bagged clippings once. I have the setting moved all the way to the mulch position. I wish I took a picture to post. Anyone else experience this?

Today's Realization

EDM is created without lyrics (Mostly IMO) maybe that's why i like it so much.. "Regular" songs are written usually lyrics first amirite? Then the try the instrumentals match afterwards. Not having to try and understand lyrics makes edm easier to enjoy imo.

What are your thoughts?

PS this is EDM carwash guy 😂
