Hey all, just signed up last week and will be lurking in the 7th gen Corolla area. I have a 95 Geo Prizm that I bought new, ended up with as my primary car after a divorce, transitioned back to Corvettes, and now my step-daughter, living at home, has taken it over. It only has about 127000 miles and still going strong.
My forum name comes from my old job as an F-4 Phantom backseater (Air Force) and my current volunteer and egress trainer status with the Collings Foundation here in Houston, where I help take care of a flyable, F-4D. We're on the web at
www.collingsfoundation.org
My daily driver was a 2002 Corvette, now it's the wife's car and I have a 2008 Corvette. The Geo is my back up (really bad weather) car. I do drive the Corvette in the rain. We also have a 2001 Subaru Outback that the aforementioned step daughter now drives most of the time.
I used to take the Geo to a mechanic for the occasional fix it items, just due to lack of interest in doing it myself and lack of decent tools. Now I enjoy doing it myself and have some good tools. Not everything I need, but enough for easy things. Plus the huge money saved by doing it myself. And the forum is a great place to find good instructions for troubleshooting and repairing things that can fail on our cars.
I hope I don't need to use the forum too often for fixing the car, but it's nice to know it is available.
Let us know all about yourself and your car. Break the ice in here.
to Toyota Nation! I'm always glad to welcome service members to the forums...USAF FTW!
