trini - welcome back with updates on you're car.
Congratz on 400,000 milestone. I love your sedan. And agreed...why replace if its not broken. I rather have the original part from japan still ticking in the car than be replaced unknowlingly by a refurbished part made in China or something~ Keep us updated, you're record always gives me a smile and gives me confidence in my car. And guys, just give him time to post the video up..you guys are on here like hawks, geez haha |

Congratulations on the 400K mark! I have hope for mine. Mine is also a 2007 "S", Although, I have much less mileage...more like 36K. I spend too much time overseas doing the military thing.
No worries on the parts...ours are made in Japan.

I've never had any issues with my throttle sticking or anything for that matter, except for my alternator intermittently charging. But it was replaced immediately with an OEM one.

I also wonder how he handles the physical and mental demand of driving an a average of 13 hours a day, everyday.

it is only 313 miles a day. not a 13 hour drive. not by a longshot. maybe 5 or 6 hours driving plus delivery time. looks like normal 8 or 10 hour days to me. |

Certainly more than 5-6 hours. You are correct in the 8-10 hours with stops. I got the 13 hour a day figure from a response Trini... made himself on YouTube. Maybe he does that on really busy days, and less on others. |

Not at all. I actually feel like Toyota designed the seats specifically for me. They are very comfortable and easy on my back, especially with 2 herniated discs in my lower back.

So where's the video triniper4mance?
Not because I need to see it, but because the only way to share the news with others is with video proof. |

If you go back over Trini's past posts he has submitted several video's from as far back as 100k in 07.
