The timing chain replacement on Darwin will be the single most expensive repair I’ve ever had done, but really I’ve spent more on Blue Bitch over time, they’re quoting below usual (they’re Toyota specialists, they can do this in their sleep), in retrospect it was priced like it would need this in a year or two, and honestly it’s a reasonable cost for another 100,000 trouble-free miles

Also I have finally heard that fabled tapping that tells me Darwin is due for the only service a 22R ever needs, the 100,000 mile timing chain replacement

Actually used Darwin for hauling something in the bed

With the load my first gear range finally remotely made sense, as opposed to the usual comedy flywheel you immediately shift to 2nd from.
