probably has a weird fetish involving being trolled

Ha, that's exactly what happened. I got pretty lucky with my investments over the past few years and decided to start filling my garage instead of spreadsheets. Nothing wrong with hoping for a little more luck though, ya know?

Hopefully that translates into retaining value. I've heard the manual BMW M cars are not holding their value relative to the autos, especially xdrives.

I'm leaning towards it's hot af in UAE and your car has plenty of traction and probably less power than those of us running around in 20*C weather. I have noticed my car hooks up much better with a passenger. With my 72kg butt in the seat, mine will spin the tires through first, then lose...

That recommendation is insane. You do not need to replace the entire rear end of the car to address this problem. That's not even a solution to the problem, it's just a really expensive bandaid. Get an alignment, that will avoid the problem in most situations. Also driving with the dampers...

Thirding an alignment. I found a shop that specializes in alignments for race cars and explained the problem. He said it was probably the e-diff but he'd see what he could do. From the factory, the passenger side toe was way out of spec. The car has been amazing since. That being said, I...

I'd have the Porsche as well (pdk tho). But they aren't really cars you can buy without knowing someone or plunking down the cost of a Supra over MSRP on a used one.

Left-foot braking on the track is fine. We teach people to use only the right foot with an automatic under normal driving because... the driver might rest their foot on the brake pedal, keeping their brake lights constantly illuminated. The left foot provides stability during emergency...

Was install basically pop the old one out and slide this one in?

Yeah, this is BS. I always thought manufactures were legally required to build "10 years" worth of replacement parts for their vehicles.

There's entire threads on this site about how rare different colors are... It seems a good few of us have a pair of white New Balances sitting in their closet.

Maybe Toyota got tired of subsidizing BMW keys. I'd try a few different dealerships though. That sounds like a load of crap to me - what company discontinues parts for a car that's still being sold new?

Spotted the project manager...

Same here, basically. All of my driving is on surface streets. The only time I take the highway is when the onramp is clear and I can do a high-speed pull. Driving around town I rarely ever shift past 3rd, as a result, most of the time the economy meter is reading 18.x mpg.

Remember last month when Supra sales fell like 40% and the news couldn't stop talking about it and how it was an indictment on how terrible the Supra is, etc, etc? Well, sales figures for May are out and YoY sales exploded, nearly doubling last month...

Hold down the traction control button for a few seconds until the dash displays the VSC disabled message. Take off in first, slowly Pin the throttle to the floor Optional left foot brake to slow the car down turn steering wheel for donuts I'd suggest carrying some water with you and dumping...

S&P500 index funds will out-perform pretty much any car a mortal can afford. It's so weird looking at a CUL rear end with a black badge. You should definitely get a USDM red supra badge. There will probably be quite a few bubble wrapped versions in the 2050s. People do this all the time...

I've been thinking about getting one of these too. Most of my old cars engaged off the floor with almost no dead zone, so I found the extra 3-4 of pedal travel annoying at first. But since i got rid of all of my other cars, leaving just the Supra, I've gotten used to it.

"Being stupid" includes driving with the slightest bit of snow or ice on the ground. This is how I plowed my WRX through a stop sign. Luckily, nobody was around, but it was still pretty scary.
