Something to challenge the Fiat Maserati.

Mazda Navajo anyone? Acura SLX?

I suppose it is more about authenticity than practicality. Plus odds are a Toyota engine, even if less powerful, would likely be more durable. The LFA was Toyota’s engineering showpiece. I guess Toyota looked at the numbers and found the most cost effective way to bring the Supra back with respectable performance. 

Grrrraarrarrrr, we don’t like it!

Brilliant summation of projecting our own expectations onto others. This isn’t the same Toyota or automotive environment. It is when they make the cars you aren’t expecting that legends are made, there wasn’t a bar to meet.

Torque trumps diplomatic immunity.

Profits over passions. The GT-R is the last hand built engine (NSX hybrid excluded) from the big 3 in Japan and a Nissan factory is churning out new classic engines. However Japanese car companies posted higher profit margins than their German rivals last year by adopting the standardization of their European…

Power shouldn’t be an issue. I’m sure the BMW 6 will be plenty and there is such thing as too much power in a lightweight car, where it becomes unusable (See early V8 F-types before AWD).

I was more interested in the drivetrain than the looks. The Gen IV Supra was arguably kind of bland style wise and some parts haven’t aged well. The 2JZ and it’s legendary durability and tune-ability made the Supra famous, sought after and uniquely Toyota. The new Supra is a BMW transplant. Maybe it isn’t a logical…

Awww, when you said Mugen I thought it was going to fight Peter Griffin, Big Bird and Megaman, but I guess this is cool.

It doesn’t seem unreasonable to expect 1000 lb-ft. Probably more like 950 but seems like it would be a great marketing gimmick. Everyone needs to be able to pull a house off of it’s foundation, in case you run into some rogue diplomats. 

Flux capacitor?

500 of them at that.

RR was churning out Meteors in the big one.

Surprising commenters here are skeptical about people doing their own maintenance. How do we know the poster isn’t a mechanic? Everyone is looking to strike on the interwebs.

When is the hydraulic press getting it’s own show? I’d rather watch this than the smug rip off artist on Fantomworks.

Part of the problem in California is real estate prices, regulations and taxes mean most developers would lose money building low to middle income housing without tax breaks, etc. Developers make more money per sq ft building posh condos and so forth and will continue to do so as long as demand exists.

I agree this is a little much and HOAs can get a bit carried away but their purpose is to protect property values. How would you feel if you paid 200K for a house that now can’t even sell for 150K because your neighbor parks clunkers in his yard. Jeeps are excluded.

A purely emotional response on his part. You are correct you cannot make a legally binding contract where the consideration is an illegal act. False equivalence. 

This may be a dick move on the part of the owner but it isn’t illegal. The owner should make it more clear to new tenants and as a result he should feel the pain in vacancies and reduced cash flow due to ridiculous rules. However excellent example of reading what you sign.
