And everyone will be happy until they realize a few years down the line that FCA build quality means doors will be rusted out from galvanic corrosion within 5 years... I can't tell you how many insurance claims I deny for people who have rusting hoods or decklids on 10-15 year old American built SUVs. Aluminum isn't…

GM will never kill the front engine/rear drive Corvette. Two cars wearing the Corvette badge are fine, but there is a sizable market still for a $65k American sports car with big V8s. Until gas is $5 a gallon we will have a traditional Corvette, and I believe you’re spot on that the upcoming mid engine is going to be…

In laws will be there for the Steelers game this weekend. I told them to grab one and report back.

Unfortunately the coupe and sedan are dying, now even the two door hatch is going the way of the dodo. I very much dislike four door vehicles and have never owned anything other than a two door coupe, but my next vehicle will most certainly be a four door something simply for the ease of dealing with kids and car…

I could have brought the car with me, but it's hard to justify a car payment and paying for two parking spots in downtown Chicago. Carmax gave me $1500 over book value for it last October, I work in insurance so I knew that was a deal not to pass up when dealing with car valuations. I'm hoping at least the Si will…

My first car was an 89 Prelude Si and I loved the dynamics and profile of the car. I always wanted an RSX back in high school and college, but by the time I could afford a new car they were gone in favor of the Civic Si. I test drove that, decided to wait another year and got an FR-S. I loved that car and am sad I…

Faux window is pretty genius on these newer cars. It's often hiding an ugly weld or seam and is generally cheaper than cleaning up that area and painting it. I love it because it gives a great break line on the quarter panel so there is no need to mess with painting the sail panel or roof rails when body repairs are…

We’re driving down Friday morning to pick up our garage passes and credentials. Sounds like if I stay to the north part of the track I should be ok? I’m used to Richmond, which is a cluster because it’s basically in the middle of a neighborhood. Looks like as long as I can avoid downtown traffic at peak times it won't…

Is it bad getting in and out of? Coming from Downtown Chicago, my dad got hot passes for the pits and garage during the race. Haven't been to a race in years, but it gave my parents an excuse to fly halfway across the country and visit me for a change.

I know they had a TSB for 2013 model years. Mine was built in 11/2012, I think by 2014 models it was addressed, but the first round of fuel pumps were failing and the best guess I’d heard was overheating caused by running too long with low fuel levels.

I believe that was part of the issue with Subaru and Toyota on their high pressure fuel pumps for cars with direct injection. Fuel was used to keep the unit cool, running it down to empty too often could overheat the unit and cause premature failure. Not sure if that’s 100% correct, but I never let my FR-S go below…

That’s what I think. It’s too close in size to the current FR-S the be a Supra. No way Toyota can justify 35-45k for a car the same size but with a different drivetrain. Also the underlying architecture appears the same so it's most likely a second generation riding on a modified gen 1 chassis.

I just can't see them making the Supra so close in size to another sporty car in the lineup. It's almost the same size as the Toyobaru and that greenhouse is far too similar. Most of the unibody structure appears to line up with the Subaru architecture. I'm thinking it's much more likely this is a gen 2 FR-S mule than…

It’s 100% an FR-S. Sheet metal is the same on the Fender, door (with mirror moved), and uniside. I’d bet this is a “2nd” generation with more cosmetic upgrades than the 2017 mid cycle refresh. Maybe more updated drivetrain, but this is not a Supra.

This is a update version of the GT-86, unless Toyota is developing a Supra and using the GT-86 body to test the drivetrain, highly unlikely. The A Pillar and C Pillar are the same as my 2013 FR-S. Quarter glass is the same, body line down the fender and door is the same, sorry, this isn’t the Supra. It’s probably a…

Agreed, dual exhaust means nothing. 1.5l Honda Civics have dual exhaust now, it's fashionable.

Is Land Rover poaching Kia designers now? Looks an awful lot like the most recent Soul update...

The teams and players in the NHL are better about self policing though, just like Dale is being here. NFL teams and doctors are out there pushing to keep guys on the field who should be sitting out multiple games.

Did that once, going about 55-60 on a river and landed in a school of jellyfish. I had a blast and loved riding the thing, but it's been all dirt bikes since then because they're so much cheaper and I hate the smell of vinegar.

My earliest memory of a hurricane was going down to the Outer Banks of NC during hurricane Gordon with my dad to check out the beaches. My shoes got soaked so we went to KMart and I got Batman shoes, it was awesome.
