It’s so awful... the only thing in this that says Toyota are the badges. Everything else is the horrible and hideous Z4

Though I’d bet that’s how some of my fellow Texans pronounce Galveston...

They’re pretty great. I’ve done the C++, HTML and SQL ones so far and would estimate I’ve retained close to 95% of the knowledge.

Subtle Bloodhound Gang reference. I approve.

Good point. I guess the next semantic-esque question is: Do you mean tuned for speed or tuned for sound?

My (possibly ignorant) response would be, is the Zonda’s exhaust tuned or is that good ol’ engine and exhaust tubes? The list is specifically exhaust notes that have been tuned to sound awesome.

AFAIK it’s to overcome some of the limitations of the asphalt and the tires. Make sure everything is as tacky as possible. They’ve been using it since the 70s if i remember correctly.

If you ever get the chance to go to an NHRA event, be sure to stay until the end and walk out on to the track. But be sure you have your shoes tied on extra tight! I saw a guy step down in his boots and the boots didn’t come back up when he took his next step.

I wonder if you’d get any wheelspin on a drag strip prepped for the top fuel guys. They spray down drag strips with VHT. People can literally walk out of their shoes walking across this stuff and top fuel dragsters still break loose with relative ease.

I’m sure the “complications” were either that he didn’t have GAP or that he underinsured it to save a few bucks on his premium never thinking it would get totalled.

I have a buddy that owns a shop and had a guy roll up with his master cylinder basically on fire (Ford recall issue) and the guy tried to use the logic that it stopped at my buddy’s shop so obviously it would stop on the highway. He then drove it over to the AutoZone across the street instead of getting the tow to a…

Why is no one talking about that awesome van they used to transport it?

This happened to me once. I had a cop pull me and another car over for “excessive acceleration”. I was in a 1991 Toyota Tercel with 200K miles on the odometer and duct tape and zip ties being used as integral parts of my air intake system...

“once they attach the truck bed is when things get really, really big.”

I for one can not wait for this thing to get built in the great country of Texas!

“...and people don’t die going 2 MPH.”

It’s a ship-shipping ship shipping shipping ships.

whoa... i kind of like this
