If I were rich and fancy, that GT-R would have been bought.

It’s actually pretty decent looking, and not just in comparison to their previous work.

Even worse, it couldn’t see its original owner.

Aston uses MB electrics a generation behind the current ones.

Implying Jag owners aren’t already used to having to deal with unreliable cars.

No, Aston has announced that the new Vantage is getting a manual. The only issue is that it’s coming out later than the automatic.

They’re as British as the Queen.

This, in fact the whole “works” style of bodykit, with the overfenders and exposed fasteners comes from trying to emulate the look of the 1980s Group 5 that works teams (hence the name) ran in Japan.

My old 6110 with the lithium ion battery had a standby time of up to 270 hours. Meanwhile, a modern Samsung Galaxy S9 only has 3.5 days, or about 84 hours of standby time. Of course, this changes depending on how you use it - calls do drain the battery faster, and old phones didn’t have much running in the…

Actually, from what I remember battery life seemed much longer back in the turn of the millenium. But then again, you did much less with your phones back then as well - basically just calls and SMS.

From what I recall, most of us didn’t even care to get the external charger back then. At least not for the succession of Nokia phones I had starting with the 6110.

Sadly, swappable batteries seem to be a thing of the past. Most people never really took advantage of them anyway, using only one battery until it conked out.

I used to hate on these, but after getting a whiff of the much more chill Japanese car culture, I’m like “eh, let people enjoy what they enjoy”.

Because a) stance has its origins in Japan, and b) Japanese car culture is much more chill and accepting of anything.

Itasha is serious business. There are actually more than a few utasha liveried cars running in the GT300 class of the Super GT series.

There is, it's called Japan. 

You do realize that, if not for these partnerships with other brands, these cars wouldn’t come to market at all.

So, 4JZ-GTE (following the similar naming, and generation skip, they did for the 4U)?

Interesting that Toyota didn’t insist on giving the engine their own engine code, like they did with the Subaru engine in the GT86.
