A tale of two sensors.
It is the best of cars, it is the worst of cars. It is the simplest of cars, wait.... no it isn't.
Six years ago, I purchased my wife a 1996 SC300, it was a flood car from hurricane Katrina. It was not a salt water damaged car, but instead it was flooded by water from a freshwater lake.
I have replaced the following:
Seats, door panels, Engine/Transmission ECU, Alternator, Battery, Stereo System, Climate Control, instrument Cluster, Distributor Cap Rotor and Plugs, Wheels and Tires, Exhaust System all except the front cats.
It has been quite an adventure, so far. However, a few days ago, the car developed a new problem.

So, it seems as though Toyota has teamed up with Subaru to design a car that is both pointless and a little silly. We start with the drivetrain, which seems to be derived from Subaru's parts bin. I have a great deal of respect for boxer engines. They're flat offering a low profile so the front hood of the car can be very low. That is unless, you pile a mountain of crap on top of the engine making it as tall as an inline four cylinder. Subaru used to place the spare tire over the engine, because there was so much room under the hood of their cars, even with the engine in place.

I'm fairly certain that if you and I sat down while enjoying a tasty beverage, we could identify most of the problems plaguing the United States. Our concerns would probably be echos of the concerns of our parents, only changed ever so slightly to prevent being accused, of being our parents.
Most people, except for the very wealthy have thought about it; "What would I do if I won the lottery? What would be the first thing I would buy?"
Did we learn nothing from the break-up of Bell Telephone? Forcing the monopolizing Bell telephone company to break into smaller, more regionalized telephone service providers was a good idea for competition, but today we seem to be allowing that company to reform and again start it's monopolistic business practices.
I have, for many years now, been an active web designer and hosting provider for about 250 to 300 websites. I have been concentrating mostly on Joomla, the system this website runs, and many other PHP Content Management Systems.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth record...s were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." -- Thomas Jefferson
