I garnered all that a long time ago when I made an 'educated guess' in the
Honda group.

As far as a cold one, I play in a band and we had a practice/party this
afternoon (rather than in the evening) and I did just that! I like Bass
Ale.

Please Google some Toyota manuals and show me.

You can peruse Toyota Owner's Manuals right on their website.

Here's the service manual for a 1990 Supra. Maybe you can find where it
says, "replace brake fluid", Mr. Manual...

It isn't in the Owner's Manual, either.

brake fluid /is/ hygroscopic. that's a fact. as it absorbs water, its
boiling point lowers. that's a fact. as its boiling point lowers,
heating from brake application can boil the fluid easier. that's a
fact. boiling fluid causes vapor lock and no brakes. that's a fact.

now, bleat to me one more time about how it's not in the owners manual -
because its in all the honda ones.

and bleat to me about how it's not your problem. because it most
definitely is. oh, wait, you had a crash and totaled your car hitting
someone in front of you because you couldn't stop in time. well, well,
well...

I don't own Hondas, I own Toyotas. So how the hell would I know what was
in a Honda manual?

But, good for Honda for placing that info in the manual. Maybe they should
give out a Honda manual with every new Toyota.

It was < 2 years old and only had 40,000 miles on it, in a severe
thunderstorm with torrential downpours, and the kid cut less than
15 feet in front of me while I was doing 35 MPH, douchebag.

why do you always snip the factual information? is it because you have
no interest?

No, it makes it easier to focus on the bullshit.

Since you keep changing the focus of the 'discussion', then I help you
keep up with that. We went from oil changes to brake fluid changes, to
crashing a Corolla because some idiot crossed in front of me in a
torrential downpour.

I don't want you getting lost, after all...

what part of "you were driving too fast" didn't you understand from last
time? the more you reveal of the facts, like road conditions, the more
clear it becomes that you're reckless and stupid.
