I would be very surprised if they don’t end up evolving this into an adventure van. The $100k Sprinter #vanlife insta peeps would be all over that.

Now that is the sort of friendly, non-aggressive face more vehicles should have.

Under 3 grand, moves under it’s own power, drop top? In today’s money that is pretty good. Remember - Gone are the days were $500 will get you a running car that won’t turn into dust if looked at wrong.

I have a 2-meter R/C powered sailplane (among other R/C planes). I have seen this done, but I had no idea they could go that fast. I have seen a 400mph+ turbine engine’d R/C plane do it’s thing though. Would need much sharper eyes than mine to keep up with that.

Not really, they just replaced equally non interesting sedans.

Serious answer to jokey question: the shaded-pole motors in ceiling fans produce almost no torque whatsoever and would be just about the worst possible choice for an electric car.

Due to Corona, all instructed sessions are lead/follow. On the local 2.7mi course, my BRZ is about 10s per lap slower than the very fastest street cars and I’m 20s per lap faster than the fast novices and about 10s per lap faster than fast intermediate drivers.

I’m sorry, this take is far too informed and reasonable. I’m going to have to ask you to leave The Internet. 

Wasn’t the entire purpose and spirit of the toyobarus to be a canvas in which YOU can easily work on? It provides you with a base that is the bare minimum of acceptable, under the assumption you’d be wrenching on it yourself?

Now take the money from the sale and go fix your wife’s VW....sheesh...

You’re right!

That looks like some of the cars on the road here in Alabama. I swear I’ve seen that Toyota n ear me.

He’s always got the Changli if he’s really hard up to get somewhere.

Probably wouldn’t have loved it back in the 30's and 40's when they were inspecting people’s heritage though.

I would’ve launched my car into the sun out of frustration long before I actually succeeded in getting it to pass TUV. Congrats on passing by the skin of your teeth.

Only David Tracy can buy a nearly rust-free car and nearly get defeated by hidden rust.

Fail by the technicality, pass by the technicality.

The Red Army works, too.

Lordy, were they ever.
Sitting in your parent’s lap you likely had to worry about accidentally getting a lit cigarette in the eye, on top of everything else.

Before you decry the 85 Firebird as uncharacteristic for a high school math teacher, let me point out that in 1984 Miss Mask, my high school journalism and English teacher, drove an electric blue 1967 Corvette. All original, and she had both tops for it. She had been driving it for years, and she was still driving it…
