I mean the GX is absolutely considered a Land Cruiser within the community. The difference is the Toyota equivalent isn’t available in the US alongside the Lexus version, unlike the big LC, so there’s rarely a situation where the two will be confused. If Toyota ditched the 4Runner and replaced it with the Prado here I…

Oh and David, if you’re reading this thread, check your brake lines when you pick up that 100.

Ooh look at Mr. Popular over here!

Good thing his mom was into Mitsubishis. 4Runner Hill doesn’t have the same ring to it.

I really hope David saves a bookmark for ih8mud. Every issue I’ve ever encountered has been solved by searching mud and inevitably finding a step-by-step guide on how to solve it. Literally the most valuable resource a Land Cruiser owner can have.

Nobody’s ever done a car like it before.

The Hot Wheels wiki has a page on him with a list of all of his designs.

The steering wheel (and shift knob on some years) on the Freightliner Sprinter uses a circular piece of plastic with the badge printed on it to fit in the space that the round Mercedes badge would normally go.

A fun note: That RS200 has a Quaife QBD3X transmission in it. It’s a 6-speed sequential instead of the original 5-speed H-pattern. In 2013 Quaife decided to develop a new transmission for a 30 year old car of which only 200 were ever made and now you can buy one yourself.

The system itself also uses eight CPU cores, 24 GB of RAM, and 46.4 GB per second of RAM bandwidth

I was obsessed with Hot Wheels when I was little, but I eventually lost interest as I got older. It wasn’t until a couple of years ago that I noticed that in the intervening years Hot Wheels had shifted from primarily making a bunch of fictional, cartoony designs that as a kid I never really liked (looking at you…

Awesome. Now do it again with Lotus.

I knew they made air-cooled boxers along with the V8s everyone knows about, but I didn’t realize how similar they looked to Porsche engines until I started searching.

I remembered a lot of early VW-Porsche tech was stolen from Tatra so I went down that path. I found out what B actually is!

Got it!

You’re right I didn’t even notice. Definitely a Polo engine.

A. Porsche 356 Carrera, 550, 718, 904, etc. (Fuhrmann Engine)

All of this, but I’d also add that Shelby originally approached Chevy to supply the engines, but at the time GM was still abiding by that 1957 AMA resolution to deemphasize speed and performance and they didn’t want to cannibalize Corvette sales. Of course after the Cobra starting spanking Corvettes on the track a guy…
