Great job on all your research. Sounds like you got it for all the right reasons! I really take for granted paying less taxes. Seems like the more govt spends = less you get (for your money) ?āāļø.
This is going to sound extremely unpopular but⦠if you are going out for your 1st ever track day, another option would be to not drive the car over your limits. Explore what she can do on the straightaways. Listen to your instructor. And be safe. You know yourself. If you want to push the car to...
I got a check ~ $5k over what I paid (after taxes and transport). This market is insane! And then I bought another one. Used the extra $5k for phantom paint and stupid āextrasā that came with the car to rationalize my purchase.
Love Toyodaās transparency and his take on where the car industry is at. I feel like itās a more honest opinion. And I personally like the idea of hybrids. Building on our current infrastructure while we explore all these new alternatives...
Hear ya brother. Lotta peeps hated how āsquirrlyā the S2K was. I loved it! But I did have a coach (continually shutting off all the nannies) and it was sooooooooo much fun learning how to control that tail!!!!! But on the street it would have probably sucked try to keep those revs above 4K.
As...
I sound like a broken record I bet butā¦. Lol. You get enough seat time with the right pro instructor and you can beat almost anyone. Sure itās not cheap but a good buddy did it with John Dean and he was killing it against far superior cars. And of course it was fun to watch John Dean hop in any...
Yeah, itās weird we have to even say that. I āassumeā everyone knows that. But youāre right! Iāve got no significant beef ? against EVs. They are extremely cool ?. Just looking for honesty and transparency from the āmediaā out there and donāt always get itā¦. Hence appreciate peeps like @CarGuy11
GREAT video!!!! Totally impressed ? with the car, your explanation and purchase. I will definitely learn how to āsubscribeā and like your YouTube channel! On my way to work right now and have to be brief (luckily for everyone on here LOL).
Can you be honest and let me (us) know how much energy...
Good post regardless! Merry Christmas fellow car nuts ?
I got a CSF heat exchanger from Jesse at 1FastSupra. Gift from me to myself. Wife still put it under the tree ? for the little kid in me. And a Sparco backpack and tool duffel bag, from the wife to me :D
Got our 1st decent cold snap down here in sunny SWFL and my MX5 brakes are screaming ?. I feel exactly the same way. Shocked from the cold weather! Decent brakes love to squeal like a pig and spit out dust. But at least I can stomp on them repeatedly if I decide to track her again :)
Definitely do it!!!! My wife drove her like a baby on her track day. She was quick, consistent, and not even two tires off. It can easily be done. Iāve been 4 off only once (so far ?) and two off a lot more than that. Itās all me and not the car 4sho. But Iām really getting a feel for her and...
Holy shit dude!!!!!! So glad you survived that ?. I had my wife and kids in our SUV once going up a steep mountain (idea was to hike or god knows what) and I had to counter steer backwards while sliding. Iām sure it was all luck and not my driving that we didnāt go over the cliff. Ever since, I...
Dang, sorry to hear dude ?
I will say tracking her makes me feel a lot better about any other shortcomings. She handles beautifully. And I donāt drive her lightly at all. But thatās where my main appreciation is at. She probably just needs a good track spanking. Go deliver it!
Dammitā¦. I had to think on that and yeah. I still love Honda for the S2K. But damnnnnn itās been soooooooo long ago ?. The brand is hurting for a modern āSupraā or S2K today. Even crappy GM has the Corvette! No offense to anyone who has one of their regular line up rentals, but at least they...
Wow! Never thought of it like thatā¦. damnnnnn thatās a valid point. Iāll give the GR Corolla some credit with the ability to select how much power can be delivered front to back. But the name Corolla ??āāļø. Couldnāt they have given it a different name??? Like GR-C (we all know itās a Corolla but...
