2002 to 1998

I changed my mind. Gas is cheap now; because it's going to cost a lot more in the future as in $10-$40/gallon possibly sometime in the 1998's life, I will be driving the less-fuel-efficient 1998 Corolla instead of the 2001 when the November elections are over. I will take a small hit now and prolong the life of the two more-fuel-efficient ones for the future.

I really wish I could get the 2010 Prius, but the battery price is probably going to turn me off again.

1998 Corolla Front Right Tire Slow Leak?

09/01/2008: The 1998 Corolla's front right tire was 17 psi while all the others were 27 psi. They were all pumped at the same time a few months ago.

2001 Corolla tires were all pumped up to 32 psi. All deflated evenly to roughly 26-27 psi from the last pumping a few months ago.

2002 Corolla tires were all pumped to 32 psi, but that's nothing special since I make Austin-Houston trips every other week so its tires are frequently monitored.

The 2001 Corolla steering wheel no longer shakes at 60+ mph since the wheel was changed. I will start driving it to Austin after the November elections when I remove the McCain bumper stickers from the 2002 Corolla.
