“The RAV4 Prime now joins the Camry, Avalon and Supra as Toyota models that can make over 300 HP.”

It impacts my insurance premiums, though. If you break your neck and have to live on life support after a dozen surgeries instead of just breaking your femur and having a bruised face, you’re just being a drag on the rest of society. If you die though, that’s cool.

Cool man.

You know how they say people start to look like their dogs after a while?

It’s hard not to sell a “better” version when the previous one doesn’t meet safety or emissions requirements, or have any updated features that would keep people besides the most hard core fans interested.

The front end looks like a 2020 Corolla and a Dodge Charger had a really good looking child.

Maintaining your fleet seems like my dilemma with the garage and basement my wife always wants me to clean out. There are things that I’ve had for a long time and/or I don’t want to get rid of but I know I have to to make the spaces more use-able.

I can’t help but think that besides cost, the GT500 is intended more to be a numbers car than a driver’s car (even though it apparently is a good driver’s car). You’ll never hit the acceleration and lap time numbers the auto can with the manual, so why bother?

You’re about a foot off on height of the vehicles, but the rest holds true.

The same people who just shout "they have insurance," are the same ones who say "just write it off on your taxes."  They're also people who don't understand how either works.

I wonder if teams will actually soften suspensions, or just break the drivers?

I know it’s hidden under a muddy cloth, but that last picture looks like this thing might have a more upright windshield and profile than a Wrangler.

“These dealers want to avoid joyrides, and while it’s not exactly fair, I kind of understand it.”

Or... why does Denver keep taking on old QBs with neck problems?

We went with “just look nice” at our wedding at a bourbon distillery. We actually said “semi-formal.” We included a picture of the groomsman attire, which was brown shoes/boots, clear/nice dark jeans, patterned shirt, tie, and a casualish sport coat. We also said a coat and tie weren’t needed for guys.

I can’t help but think that people (the “lay man,” not enthusiasts) were left with a bad taste in their mouth when this thing dropped and the only ads they could find started at $100K. Those people probably didn’t even bother searching again or considering it, and went and bought C7's below MSRP.

You didn’t supply him a gatorade bottle?

Maybe that’s why he had the presence of mind to un-tuck his shirt!

Exterior sheet metal (like on the outside of doors, hoods, etc) is the lowest strength material on the vehicle. The high strength materials that you always hear automakers talking about are in areas you don’t see unless you get under the vehicle or start pulling out the interior.

Third option is that he was having a mild breakdown over them sending him out to cover another piece he didn’t want to do.
