Yikes, that's a bad problem with the window. I don't have that fortunately. That really sucks! Toyota should recall those!

The worst is when the night before, there was lots of rain, and the next morning is sunny and slightly warm. So you roll down your windows and go for a drive, but if you make a hard turn, water comes dripping onto your inside door. And sometimes also your car seat and clothes!

I've noticed that my driver's side window, when I'm closing it, makes a small "click" or "knock" when the window's halfway up. It's as if something's not built in tightly or properly. But the window still works.

yeah, that has happened to me once, where it rained the night before and it was a cool morning. So I drive for about 5 minutes before I roll my windows down now.

yeah, rain is fine here, although supposedly it's suppose to be acidic. I haven't noticed. But thigns are getting worse. For several days this summer I thought it was going to rain but later found out it was a smog cloud! Wow! That was some smog!

I wasn't far from Boston, I lived in Braintree. Went to East Middle School ( I think it had anothre name too - but I forget). They're building a big car dealership near where I used to live (it used to be a shopping center).

A friend of mine told me recently that some guy down the street from us was apparently a serial killer and buried the bodies in his backyard. This was a couple of years ago or so. Maybe that gives you a general idea of where I was. :)

Yeah, was creepy when I heard it too. It wasn't quite down the street, but it was off some, within walking distance about a 2 miles or so. Don't remember exactly. Just know that I walked from my house to my friends house and I had to pass this guy's house and it took me about 20 minutes to get to my friend's.
