Also Takata, who put claymores in millions of steering wheels.

I remember that all too well. Early on, it was thought the sniper was travelling in a white utility van .... just because witnesses often recounted seeing one nearby due to their ubiquity.

I have several friends, and relatives, who were in law enforcement in DC Metro back then. Nobody knew they were using the car that way; and they were actually questioned after being seen sleeping in the car, and were let go.

Part of a snipers weapon is his hide, not just the gun.

As someone who lived through that, I'd say we were more worried about the rifle than the car itself.

How about the Beltways Snipers, who converted their Caprice into a rolling sniper hide.

I love my 370z, but this is the correct answer

Since we don’t get kei cars, do you think they’d make us a kit to turn an Econoline into a Lapin?

I knew this existed!! I Googles kei A Team van. I used to see some conversions when I lived in Japan but it seems they have expanded the selection. 

I’m sure they could, but part of the appeal of Dajiban is that they are so big and unsuited for racing. Making a smaller (though still unsuited) version would seems weird to me. It’s a JDM niche of a JDM niche, and I think the world would implode.

FACT!

These cars get an inordinate amount of hate, I think. But it’s everything the Toyobaru twins were trying to be. People complain about the lack of power in the twins, but the Z has that in an engine that’s been made and reliable for years. It has everything it needs to have and nothing it doesn’t.  I think one of the…

I pine for an F-Type and day dream about putting myself in one. Too bad the V6 6spd manual ones are on par with Unicorns in terms of rarity. Also this first gen is the one to have, because Jag RUINED the looks of the new 2021 models by ditching the vertical headlights and giving it squinty horizontal ones to make it…

Well said!

It’s because it went from an interesting competitor in the sports car market, to outdated, now to a value, because very single other sports car like it is either defunct or WAY too expensive for someone in a regular tax bracket. If you want a sports car with similar stats, similar feel and similarly equipped you are…

I was in a Subaru dealer probably late ‘90s-early ‘00s and a woman was buying a new Forester for her daughter, voice cracking while telling the story of why. She said the Subaru (Legacy maybe) that her daughter had been driving saved her life when a drunk POS going the wrong way up the highway hit her head on before…

Guarantee a dad who can afford to give a kid an AMG Mercedes probably makes a few calls to his friends in law, local politics, and perhaps on the police force to make this all go away.

We all know that car can’t do 191 (308km).
The question is, how does all the error stacking in the radar gun cause it to display 191 (308km).

The car was certainly going fast and needed to be stopped.  The kids need some time away from driving.  The radar gun needs some time in calibration.
