Don't use that magnet in there either. It'll end up in your gears... Hell, the dang thing won't even stick to the fridge for more than 5 seconds.

I don't know if I mentioned it on here, but on my way to work about a month ago I hit a big pothole in the Toyota pretty hard. I didn't think much of it, but a day or two later I noticed the damn thing was vibrating pretty bad. I've been on the hunt for some replacement wheels for it. The Yaris wheels are about 260 dollars for all four.... but that seemed steep for a steel wheel. I found that the 2020-2022 Nissan Versa has almost the same (steel) wheel, just an inch wider. I just got four new take-off's for a 2021 for 115 shipped. I'll probably get new tire now as well. I was planning on waiting until we are closer to winter.
