No. First one died because I was stupid. Lack of oi(light never came on)l and pushed it hard. My second one died because of oil starvation coming around an onramp and the car was slanted and I was driving it hard and basically the oil all moved to one side and engine had catastrophic failure. This one died because of what? NO FUCKIN CLUE! I actually was easier on this one than I was on the other two on purpose. But it has rod knock like a mofo now. So I am buying this whenever I have money to waste on this car...
But for now since my Camry has completely forgotten how to run right, I am buying an xrunner. I need a warranty and something reliable. All the money that has been wasted on the Cmary, I could have been made a very very nice downpayment on the truck plus been ahead a couple months
^^^^his problem isnt that he cant drive just that the car cant keep up with him because he drives hard.... good luck with the x-runner but why the truck? why not a used 350Z or "real" sports sedan/coupe....just wondering because warranties are available for any and everything even condoms.....

Yea, I have seen people beat on there cars and don't just BEAT on it. If what I was doing makes the engine blow up then I obviously need a better engine.
Anyway, I chose the Xrunner cuz it is cheap, it is toyota, it has great handling, and for the business I am apart of I willa ctually be using it to tow our show cars around and to haul around car parts.
after the first two blown engines, you didnt get the picture not to drive it hard? its not a vette...gl tho, i just dont want to read about "4th Blown Engine" in 2 weeks
haha you should check ur oil more often to bud.. thats not smart to go through two engines because of it. You should check your oil at least once a week.. just to be sure.. but.. since your a hard driver better make that a couple days (dont wanna ruin a new x-runner)

I was taking it easy on this one. I just think the 3sfe sucks. It should be mated to an automatic if you ever want to drive it sporty cuz I just don't think it can take the high revs on a regular basis which I would do when I was tryig to accelerate past people or getting on the freeway or something. Car would just be too slow accelerating if I didn't. But I wasn't "beating" on it. Maybe something was already wrong with the engine. I don't know.

I only went through the first engine because of that. There was plenty oil in the second engine. Read my post about where I describe what happened again.
Well statistics show that it was probably something oil related, and your fault!
He know's I'm joking.
You'll *love* an x-runner!
