Don’t forget the mid-80s SR-5. It’s the V-6 mustang of the import world, looks like an AE86 drives like a crapcan. Thanks to it’s low revving 70HP engine, spagetti swaybars, it’s 100% as awful as the early 80s version.

We used to have an old 92 non-turbo model with canvas doors/tops for exercises, it honestly seemed gear limited more than anything. Fastest we ever got it GPS confirmed was around 62. This was foot to the floor, down a slight hill.

It just fills me with XTasy that they lived.

Ran when last parked 44 years ago.

Just looked at those results, that guy is a gosh darned hero. <3

Fun seeing this game mentioned, I’ve been heading a project that’s been patching the old girl up. I absolutely hate the rubberbanding/parts are useless against AI, but there is a ton of work that will need to be sorted that aspect in a fair manner. Some of the more hardcore online tracks were simply insane as well, at…

The endurance, extra weight military cargo planes have makes them less than ideal for it. Though it’s an option on C-130s. With the amount of fuel a fully fueled up C-17 burns in a long flight, you could easily fuel a few cars for an entire year.

Any pre-2002 USDM turbo Beetle. It’s tiny, on a car with 150hp and it only deploys above 93MPH. It’s fairly likely that few owners even know it’s there, let alone ever had it deploy in the US.

Have to say some of the old Taco's they use over there look much like the Hilux at the end of that top gear episode. Dents everywhere, missing windows, near no interior, with some off-road mods and nice suspension. They blend right in there, despite looking like they should have been scrapped.

Great job finishing 7 out of 7, CVT just kicked in yo!

It's been going on for awhile now, around the time of the SS appearance-only package GMs.

I've been daily driving a mostly 1986 Corolla SR-5, for about 6 years now. This is the model of the AE86 (This isn't Japan-land, so yes it is AE86) nobody wants. Makes around a raw 70 carburated horsepower to the crank with power peaking well below 4k RPM. Despite it's 306k on the odometer currently, it is probably…

Ground Clearance: Adequate
Approach Angle: Adequate
Breakover Angle: Adequate
Departure Angle: Adequate

I'm in this group, I thought it was something only common on really low-end economy cars/top-end sports cars. But then again my primary DD is over 30 years old, so it's not like I've been shopping around. Still I'd feel at some point you'd poke around back there when looking at a new car.

Start with a V6 Camry?

The advice of someone while I was in Texas. "Driving faster when it's icy will prevent you from skidding."

What!?! No self-respecting boombox should be without a graphic equalizer. Toyota seemed to know what was up in the 80s.

Honestly, an arduino board might be infinitly better for this task. I actaully set one up for a spoiler controller on my wife's New Beetle. Reasoning:

This is good as time as any to mention that 4x4 Evo, and MTM2 both have thousands of custom trucks/tracks floating around out there. And to this day even have various game updates. See: 4x4 Evo Revival Project, vales, and mtm2
