Bear's ranting and at the same time flexing thread

It's fine, gas is relatively cheap here, at least for me it's not that significant. I just don't like filling up so often.

I replaced the MAF and MAP, there's literally nothing left to replace. It burns oil like a bitch too. Whatever enough complaining, if it has a major problem then I'm buying a 4runner. Not the hybrid idiotic one, pre 2024.

In an effort to address the abnormally low gas mileage, I replaced the MAP and MAF sensors. The MAP was a Bosch part, the MAF was... not, it was $30 and Chinese. And that'll be the last Chinese part I'll ever buy.  I have some more parts for the Truck that are Chinese, way too long to return, They're paperweights now.

It's actually hard to find parts that aren't Chinese garbage. Oh well.

Fun fact, host has a friend working at Bosch. Lots of their parts are nowadays manufactured in - China. Not that anything made in Germany is necessarily better nowadays as the average German worker is a Yugo or Turk. Well, let's see how much more money you sink into that car. Beating a dead horse comes to my mind.

I just dropped another 350 on a dealer part, but this is more like a hobby to me anyway. I know the car's not worth even what I put into it at this point.
