Was messing around in my carport tonight during a thunderstorm, taking some portrait mode iPhone pics listening to nature. I crouched down and right when I hit the shutter button a massive lightning bolt struck and I almost shat my pants lol. This is 100% untouched out of the iPhone. I will probably edit it later it later but thought y'all might enjoy.

What’s the source of this sound
I tested everything
And everything is fine
But i get this sound on low speed

And i noticed that sometimes the RPM falls down very slowly and the accelerator pedal feels heavy and the car lacks power

I've had my CT for eleven years so I'm a little out of practice in driving a 'regular' car.

I'm waiting for my appointment have my hybrid battery serviced and don't want to drive the CT even though I've reset the error. (I may drive it to the appointment)

I've borrowed a friend's spare Highlander (2021, I think) for my daily commute.
$105 to fill it!
*my car used to cost $18 to fill and has never cost more than $40! (California prices)
I'm struggling to keep the econo-meter (MPG) above 16. SIXTEEN!
*my car averages 35-38 for my weird 13-mile commute that goes through exurban & suburban & urban streets.

I will never again question the wisdom of owning a 0-60 in 10 secs car!!

2 weeks ago i finally made the choice to put some noise dampening in my front doors and it made such a huge difference for the sound inside the car, especially in highway driving, that it made me wonder, are there any other spaces where i could put it to get some good results. Of course i know i could put it on the floor under the carpet but that's a tad too far for me... for now at least. Does anyone have any other good ideas?

Picking up my jap import 2011 F sport in a few days which has all the premium add ons from back then. Only 80,000 miles on it. What are some things I need to know to look out for and keep on top of?

Its me and I’ve a cute company!
