Ahhh, got it. I guess they don’t just weld the seams up anymore, makes perfect sense. Would also require all new glass, etc. Thanks much!

What Do You Want to Know About the Electra Meccanica Solo?

I love it, the only car it doesn’t really look as good on is the LX, which looks like an old school Cylon from the front. They should remove the lower three rungs on the LX grille and its good too. 

He would buy new socks. 

Only partly related, but I seriously considered putting the “Hybrid” Toyota badges on my Land Cruiser to similar effect.

Where the fuck are your stars for this?!? Allow me to bestow the first. 

I think you’re dead on here, this would have taken up almost no development dollars being based on an existing vehicle, sort of like the XJ6C. The other “competitors” are all 4-door trucks and were designed from the ground up. I’m surprised they didn’t just make it a “Middle East only” model if there were issues with…

Please fax me a copy when its finished. 

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Such a huge LX market. 

They video taped it. 

I’ve been curious, I have so many friends who have said over the years thatchy hate when a server calls them “Hon” but I don’t get it. Clearly they are just being kind and welcoming, they are not actually conflating you with someone they have a relationship with. I’d be fine with a server calling me any and all of the…

Last week I told a gentleman behind me in line at the grocery store to “have a great day” and he responded with, “you too babe!” and he then immediately got embarrassed and red in the face. Later that afternoon as I was ending a call with my attorney I said, “Let’s catch up on Friday, have a good one!” and he said,…

I’d almost think you were my buddy Evan after that Coaster remark. lol

I love a GX also but I hear ya. Oh man, now that the 25-year limit has hit I’m seeing vintage (J70) Prados on the streets here in Portland. If they were LHD I would be *very* tempted.

Definitely feel you on this, the 100-series hydraulic system is superior to the KDSS air system in my mind in every way, but we were actually talking about diesel engines. lol

Oddly, that’s the polar-opposite feeling I have driving this beast around town... or up to the Timberline Lodge, on along one-lane gravel forestry roads, up snowy Larch Mountain, or to the cabin tucked into the national forest surrounding Mt. Hood. Why the fuck would I want a loud, stinky engine when my petrol engine…

Correction, in 15-years they will be cheaper at maybe half-off retail when new.

This is the most realistic take on the LC future product plans Ive heard so far and I agree this sounds logical. Do you think they will still base a Lexus LX off the “300-series” or will they use it only for the Toyota version and use the LF-1 Limitless as the base for the next Lexus? I don't think Lexus truly has a…

Thank you, to confirm your statement, I bought the Lexus version (LX) and don’t want a diesel version of it or the Cruiser.

Thanks much, I used to always recommend the Matrix to friends who didn’t really care about cars but wanted something cheap, reliable, and still good looking. I didn’t even know this existed but it will now be my go-to (I suppose I need to drive over to a Toyota dealer first, tho not the one I’m presently suing, to…
