Really?? You have been a practicing Christian for 20 years and you didn’t know a fish was the original symbol for our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ? It predates the cross.

Fast times are more about the willingness to drive the car and less about overall power. Just FYI I believe the guy was probably terrified for his life, his car, and his pocketbook. Hence I believe you. Well as much as one can believe an unsolicited comment on the internet.

I wanna know......... how much faith do you have in that transmission? What percentage of power do you think you have boosted it?

Yard sale! Cleanup on aisle me! Opa! Uh... uhhh..... did you just spill your toolbag or are you just happy to see me?

The back seats are small and uncomfortable. Avalon’s feel huge in the back. So as I don’t agree with you, its because they are a different class of vehicle.

I actually did it on mine as well. Its because if you work on your engine and suspension and the transmission goes, you can’t get a manual car with your suspension and engine. On the plus side I got all my parts out of the u pull for less than 200$ on a 50% off weekend. It’s win win win.

Hmmm. Well in the mean time if you don’t want to void your warranty, you could try one of the throttle controllers from Apex’i or another company, livens up the throttle a bit. I heard that’s not as much of a problem with the later model years however. Or if you think you can get away with it, find someone with an…

I just used the same source for both time, which you did not. The M5 your comparing it to came out 3 years before the Prowler which came out in 1996, the M5 I used came out in 1999. Thats the only real difference.

I’m pretty sure it was a bit of a halo, for a direction Chrysler never took, the PT Cruiser came after and reaped a bit of hype and styling precursor from it.

BMW M5 in 2000 did 0-60 in 4.6 seconds. With 4 doors and a roof, maybe a man-pedal.

I recall my dad looking at one when they first came out, they were 80 where I was at, and by the end of their sales cycle they were 110. The CAD was at 70-76 cents then, and usually there is some disparity in price between US and Canadian prices, but holy fuck thats a jump. I wonder if I can look up old flyers, I…

I am stupid and cant read car acronyms

Don’t forget they stickered around $80,000(!!!????????!!!!!).Quick but not m5 quick.

That would be true with any new car. But around here a $40000 STI goes for about $25000 after 3 years, a $30000 FRS goes for about $18000 after 3 years, a tiny bit better, proportionately. Hyundai levels are $12000 for a $33000 car, so quite a bit worse.

There is no car that doesn’t depreciate horribly in the first 3 years of ownership. 50% is the norm. It’s what you pay for the glorious 0kms.

Sounds like the FRS is the car for you then!

Then........ then why don’t you? It can’t be that hard to find one. Why are you tell me instead of a used BMW dealer?

Also, keep in mind I actually OWN the Scion. And 4 other coupes among 9 cars.

Or maybe that I’m level headed and capable of making decisions based on my own criteria. Sorry, I got out of the BMW and into the Corolla and liked the Corolla more. The way it drove, its shorter gearing, visibility, the joy and lightness the car imparted. I feel about Corollas and Camrys how I feel about the…

It’s crazy, that’s my opinion too! That is exactly why the FRS is the better car! Because I don’t live in a place with 200km/h inner streets. I live in a place with slow moving traffic and rush hour, I like a car that I can use, not trumph on internet forums about possibly using some of the power someday, I use all of…
