If the owner has the receipts from a pro shop building up this conversion then maybe.  Even then nearly $15K for the crappiest of Tundras with a bag on its lid is CP.  

It’s a nice car, but the usual running price for these is more like $8,000. Yes, this is nicer than most X-Types, but not 5 grand more, especially since the quality of the X-Type is not great. CP for me sadly.

Out of the CVTs I’ve driven, I quite like Nissan’s. The years they’ve spent developing them really show. On the other hand, you can’t blame Nissan for selling what people are buying. Most people don’t care what transmission is in their car as long as they’re not shifting gears.

Nissan raced to the bottom to gut cost as much as possible. That in turn made a lot of their enthusiast employees quit. Now there’s not a lot of reason to work there if you love cars, especially in the US. Even more so, a lot of Nissan’s design team is still centered in Japan. There’s very little US involvement…

Hot about a Prius with a 6.2L V8? And a supercharger? And is road legal?

Funny enough, I had to de-mildew my own 240SX.  It’s the humidity and the stagnant air.  When it’s sitting closed up like that, then there’s no fresh air to prevent fungus from rooting and you’re getting changes in humidity that give mold a perfect way to take root.  Do the above and either crack the windows a bit or…

You’re comparing a car that stays on dry land to a boat, that spends its entire life in a humid environment.  You’re always going to be battling mold just due to ambient humidity.  That’s not the case with this car.  It’s been sealed shut for 3 years.  Cleaning out the mold and literally opening the doors a couple…

I’m close enough to that car that if I didn’t already have three in my garage (one of which is for sale), I actually would buy it, clean it, and flip it.

They help remove moisture from the air.  They really work for a car that sits a lot, but if you’re driving it and it’s molding, you have a leak somewhere and you need to find it.

Two different cars.  One was due to a leaky windshield.  The other because it sat for 6 months under a car cover.  The second one all I had to do was open it up every few weeks to let it get fresh air and I never had a mold problem again.  The moth balls also helped.

Mold and mildew cleaner is $5 for a bottle. Buy a roll of paper towels and get to scrubbing. Toss in a few moth balls and let it sit for a week and the mold will be gone. Mold is easy to get rid of, I’ve had to do it twice.

Except that particular screenshot was in Abu Dhabi where he actually finished.

I think the real difference is how brown your driving suit is when you get out of it after a race.

He would have still been stuck even without the Halo. With the car resting directly upside down, there’s almost no gap to climb through. Imagine the line here is the ground (which is what that line is supposed to simulate: an upside down car on the ground) and figure out how anyone could get their head and shoulders…

I put some 215/75-15 BFGs on my CRV in college. Made for a great little soft-roader.  As big a tire as you can fit without replacing wheels or lifting it.

The first gen CR-V was more of an off-roader than the Element. The Element was more of a fancy van. Both were great in their own way, but if you wanted a decent off-roader that wasn’t terrible on the road, the CR-V was the way to go.

I think it’s out of their price range.  Plus it’s not American.  Frieburger would hate it.

Yeah, my flat track knowledge only goes back a couple years, but I do know that for most of the 2000s, HD was the undisputed king of flat track. Then Indian came back a couple years ago and have been wiping the floor with HD ever since.

Harley already has the perfect platform to bring in new fans: Flat Track Racing. The bikes are really cool and also very fast. The racing happens on local tracks (this particular track was a horse track in downtown Lexington) so people don’t have to drive hours to see it. And the fan experience is great. It was easy…

You’re not kidding. I watched the Flat Track racing in my hometown this year and the Indian bikes were amazing. As a non-bike person, it was awesome seeing a brand I thought was long dead, living up to the “World’s Fastest Indian” image.
