There’s an LC500 up the street from me, guy also has a Corvette and some kind of Mercedes coupe that’s perpetually under a car cover. He looks like the kind of guy that you’d see sitting in a plastic lawn chair in cutoffs and a wifebeater, drinking a 40 of Old E with his feet on the tailgate of his El Camino... 

I had “bench racing” aspirations to use an MR2 subframe and put a Leaf drive unit in the back of my old Corolla, Tesla drive unit would be even more interesting! 

I’ve seen more than one build that uses the electric power steering pump out of a Toyota MR-2, Subaru XT6 also had electric power steering, although with that one the proprietary Cybrid power steering fluid is NOT cheap (and it will destroy the barely available pump if you put regular power steering fluid in it),…

I’ve really enjoyed reading this, I love restoring old things! My wife and I are getting my grandparents’ trailer (Grandpa passed in 2014 and Grandma passed in April), it’s 20+ years old and it’s a 28 foot with a slide-out, so just a tad bigger than yours (Although when we were looking at just buying a trailer, we…

So exactly how pissed are they at Jalopnik, Torch? 

I took driver’s ed in an automatic 99 Corolla, coming from the Sable wagon my parents had, it was a gutless pig... But, unlike that Sable, the Corolla is probably still ticking along somewhere! 

Couple of nits:

I’ve seen it done in the 97-01 body style, and I’ve seen an 04 with the TRD supercharger from a tC... Both of which also had the correct number of pedals ;-) 

300HP + AWD + MANUAL TRANS COME ON TOYOTA 

I saw that too, it was like reading about a Democrat talking about “Assault rifles” 

That’s about how I used to do it back in the day, except instead of a Toyota it was a 1984 Subaru GL 4x4 wagon, and my cooler is a different color :-P 

I’m hoping that Ma Mopar is just skeptical on the take rate of the diesel Wrangler, which is why they’re limiting the options with it, and if people start snatching these up faster than they can build them, that within the next few model years it’ll be available on the 2 door and/or with the proper number of pedals. 

I was helping some people at work move a 48U server rack, as we got to the door I yelled PIVOT... The two twentysomethings just looked like dafuq you talking about, the other guy my age chuckled and said “Okay, Ross” 

In 1979 or so my parents bought a 1978 E150 from a VW dealership in Los Angeles. (Someone bought it in Florida, packed all their stuff in it, moved to LA, and then traded it in on a VW). When my dad asked what size engine it had in it, the salesman just went “Uhhh,, medium sized?” (They later figured out it was a 351) 

The old ones were hard to kill, seems like once they got into the DumberChrysler era things started to go downhill... 

I think Chrysler has mastered the unlimited-slip transmission though

Oh, gotcha, so millenials are like, the generation that graduated high school about the turn of the millenium or after, not people that were BORN then ROFL... I think people must get millenial and gen z confused

I remember hearing of a bus of college kids that was chartered to take them to Mardi Gras, or Palm Beach or something.. Anyway, somewhere along the way, a food stop gave everyone food poisoning, and there were only two toilets on the bus. By the time it subsided, they had pretty much filled the holding tank. And then…

For some reason I thought millennials were like, the generation born around the late 90s-early 2000s, the ones that people talk about being “Snowflakes” and needing “safe spaces” and who got “participation trophies” and think showing up to work on time and doing exactly what’s asked of you and nothing more = raise…

I’m 37 and I’m this weird crux of Gen X and Gen Y, because by birth year I’m Gen Y but I’m techically Gen X because Gen X = children of boomers; but my folks were married 9 years when I came along.
