LOL. It was a bit of both, I think. I was just saying that the craving for the versions which weren't available in the US was a big part of the whole enchilada. While I loved the reliability and economy provided by the Toyotas and Hondas that we got here - to some extent, it was lusting over...

This. A huge part of the JDM "movement" (esp. in the 90's) came from the perspective of many Japanese companies that the US market didn't want, and wouldn't buy, their highest performing models. Whether you were interested in one or not, the fact that Japanese consumers had options like the...

Your ideas appeal to me and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter... but I'd rather not meet in person. Seriously my wife and I both have some level of social anxiety, although all the people that come up to me and comment on the car don't bother either of us that much. Some days it's 3-4...

Just don't come to Nevada please... we've got enough already. I swear some days I get surprised when I see a car that doesn't have Cali plates on it. I'd welcome in all the refugees if they actually appreciated what made them move here. Unfortunately, they come here and then vote for exactly...

To be fair... many of those child molesters are elected officials... so yeah, if I was a cop - I'd be writing nice, safe fixit tickets too. As long as you don't use the wrong pronouns, you won't get yelled at by the higher-ups. ? (Yeah... somewhat sarcastic, but sadly not far from the truth either).

I'd love to... but I think I need at least another two Supras to make that trade economical. ;) Honestly either of these are likely to appreciate like mad for a couple years (if you're lucky enough to actually take receipt of one before 2024). The only problem I have with that is the fact that...

It's in the first post... about as zoomed as you could want I would think? :dunno: I'd guess as far as what not to do... don't pull up really hard on one corner only, work your way around it or pull up from both sides at same time which is how I've done it without issue (so far at least).

Agreed... and hopefully they have (at a minimum) about 100K worth of better equipment than a Supra with 30K in upgrades. ;)

My second home can see the track from the back yard... they had a transport trailer with 6-8 C8's on it parked off-track last weekend. Next to it was a closed trailer with Chevrolet livery... I wonder if there were Z06's inside it? Seemed like there was some kind of press event the next day...

The link is just mangled for some reason... here is the correct one from his first link.

I'm sure they had some German or Swiss manufacturing involved since most precision manufacturing in EU has some. They probably had/have at least one factory there but now with Asian VC ownership it's probably moved to China. Just like with Harman International products... sure there's some...

KEF is German now? When did this happen? ;) Although to be fair... now that they're owned by Gold Peak Group I guess they're as much a Chinese company as a British one.

Well they got the color right... and that's about all IMO. If I was determined to get a Honda product... I'd definitely pick the Civic Type-R (or for that matter just an SI) over this. :rolleyes:

If so I wouldn't expect nearly everything in the rear... bad spin or the losing car jumped the lane?

Wow I feel old now! Never thought I'd see the days when someone asked if anyone still remembered something from this century. :confused: I remember the 1984 ad from Apple announcing the Mac... by comparison this ad seems like it was on TV just last year to me.

Anyone that thinks Toyota would quietly release a 6MT option is definitely on the spectrum. Literally the only reason for them to do so would be to generate "buzz" in a dead year (which arguably 2022 is). If they do it at all, I'd guess a very limited edition with ridiculous markup but no...

I actually do have a Datavac - but sadly it's always at my office when I'm cleaning my car. Guess I'll have to invest in another once supplies stabilize. That flexible suction brush would work well. Still doesn't explain what the hell you'd put in those useless cubbies... can't even hold my...

Yeah I've been pretty lucky with birds... just not that day. I did tell the story to a cute girl... but since we're married, she was equally worried about potential damage to the car as she was about the health of the bunny. ;) I've put nearly 200 miles on since then with no weird leaks or...

Had "animal issues" for the past two days. First one was weird... had a rabbit climb up in my engine bay while briefly parked in my driveway. Discovered that after moving the car into the garage (with the rabbit still inside obviously). When I came out to the garage the next morning we scared...

Still looking like I might hit 30K before her 2nd birthday... but that depends on how the recall goes. If they don't do me wrong, should be good. I'm just under 28K now and no issues whatsoever - at least none that weren't design decisions by Toyota or BMW. Certainly nothing that...
