Thanks MichaelK. Full disclosure I have a 2010 TTS, currently at an APR Stage 2 tune, roughly the same bits except the intercooler and intake. But I don’t feel like I’m doing 0-60 in 3.7. At best 4.5. Will be making the switch to an Integrated Engineering Stage 2 tune, which will include all of your mentions plus the…

If you don’t mind me asking, Stage 2 with what tuner?

Not a truck, but it’s the same damn issue: to the frame, you morons, hook the line to the frame.

I’ll never afford one. Don’t torture me with this bullshit.

Hmmm...New Supra (Newpra?) was a collabo with BMW, the GT86 was a collabo with Subaru......New MR2 (MR-New?) could be a collabo with Lotus??? I’d hit that....

Yes, absolutely. Means you’re into the design aspect of cars and that is a meaty, substantial area of discussion. Careers and companies are devoted to this, and each person involved, artists and designers, would rightly swear they are car people.

Yes, comparisons to Russia during WWII are incredibly appropriate and accurate.

I just wanted a case for my Note 5. It’s been 3 months. I feel like I’m negotiating the release of political prisoners from North Korea.

“They would beat us with a sea of bodies.”

I hate to say it publicly (I’m of Chinese descent) but you’re right. Losses of that number don’t mean the same thing to the Chinese government than they might to an American administration. It’s all relative. And that being the case, China won’t back down.

God bless you sir. And I think your handle is hilarious. Took me two takes, but worth it when I got it. We use bamboo-based textiles ourselves....

God, I want one. It’s gorgeous.

If the Republican party was able to call the Affordable Care Act “Obamacare” to capitalize on the hatred for a black president, people can call this bullshit a Muslim ban. Regardless, call it Beat Street 2: Electric Boogaloo if you want, it still doesn’t change it from being absolute bullshit.

This made me smile. I will always now imagine ribbons trailing from drift cars.

Something has gone horribly wrong with Japanese car design this decade.

...or you can ride a shopping cart down a hill and coast on the flat straights.

I love India. I really, genuinely do. The people and culture are amazing. But seriously, they need to do something about the garbage and poor civil engineering standards.

Apparently the future is fraudulent.

What I got out of it:

I am also a long time Bond fan, so your story in particular resonates with me.
