It’s definitely not that one. It has New Mexico plates and different wheels. Doesn’t have the chrome grille, either. I’ll have to get a pic of it and the for sale sign in the window.

There’s a similar (white, 2 door) Land Cruiser for sale here in San Diego that I see just about every day on my way to work in the morning. It’s been there for months.

I use Reflect all the time, even at work. Enough that I’ll eventually toss some money at them for a license. Gotta love that it plays nice with BitLocker, too.

Personally, before any Windows update, I use Macrium Reflect to make a disk image of my boot drive onto my external backup drive. That way, if MS really screws things up, I can just boot Reflect off of a USB stick and restore the image in about 20 minutes and be back to where I was before the update.

8GB of RAM really the minimum amount of RAM I’d recommend on Windows 10, or MacOS, for that matter. 4GB doesn’t cut it, unless you like slow performance due to swapping things in and out of virtual memory every time you open a new app.

Yeah, but you can just pull the body off the floor pan and swap in another floor pan.

A less confusing naming convention might help, somewhat. Johan didn’t do Infiniti or Cadillac any favors, there!

No worries! I probably got the same coverage of the WRC that you did, Speedvision, since I’m in the US. I didn’t really start watching til the late 90's, right around the time Toyota came out with the Corolla WRC.

That’s an awful lot of assumption based on just my dislike of wood.

Considering that most (if not all) new cars just route power window switches over the CAN bus to a BCM (Body Control Module) which then signals the Door Control Module (usually part of the switch assy) to tell the window motor to roll up or down, adding this function to all windows is probably a simple firmware change

Yawwwwwn...it sounds like every other GM V8. We could be listening to a Silverado pulling a mild load up a dirt road, or a Camaro crusing the local high school for chicks. Which I suppose is the point, wouldn’t want every GM fanboy foaming at the mouth about it not sounding like every other ‘Vette, ya know?

Wood is seen as a nice interior treatment...

He earned the nickname, “Colin McCrash”, way before his stunts in the X Games. McRae was already well known for his “When in doubt, Flat Out!” antics on the stages of the WRC, where he crashed out as much as he won.

He didn’t get the nickname, “Colin McCrash” for nothing.

I, for one, am perfectly happy to see the Saudi’s getting a taste of their own medicine.

Hey Robb...since you indicated that you’ve driven the Model S around the Nurburgring...what are your thoughts on how well the current powertrain can handle the stresses of a full-tilt lap around the track without going into a low-power mode due to overheating of the motor controllers?

I’ll laugh if the lap turns out slower than that time Sabine Schmitz did a 10 minute lap in a Ford Transit.

Probably the older, 2 door Toyota Land Cruiser with the snorkel I keep seeing for sale in front of a house I ride by every day on the way to work in the morning. I’ve been eyeballing it for weeks, anyway.

You’re going to have to provide a source for that. Turbochargers were patented back in 1905 by Sulzer in Germany and were in use on aircraft and diesel locomotives in the US as early as 1920.

Turbo has long been a synonym for faster, etc. But, this didn’t start happening until after the turbo explosion of the 80's, when auto manufacturers began putting turbochargers into all kinds of cars, then putting the word “Turbo” on a big ass vinyl graphic so everyone and his brother knew that there was a
