Round trip tickets to Japan are pretty inexpensive at this time. I myself am going in October. You should give it a shot.

There was a Wangan Midnight game that used the same engine, and most of the same assets as Shutoku Highway battle (Tokyo Xtreme Racer), but it was technically a different game with a different story line.

How has no one said anything about the amazing Vin Diesel Karaoke yet?

Automotive designer here too, and agree with 100% of what you say.

Based upon how problematic the Bosch L-Jetronic is on these things (my fuel injection wiring harness literally caught on fire once, have had injectors clog up, fuel hoses rupture, etc), I’ve been considering doing it to mine for some time.

Hard to say, his coupe is wearing the full optional factory aero kit, which could make the coupes quite slippery.

Mine tops out at 114mph with 267k original miles on a motor that’s never been opened up. It could probably go faster, but my local track doesn’t have a long enough straight to find out. (pic of my car courtesy of Superstreet.)

If you want to get thumbs up from passerby on Rodeo Drive, bring a supercar. However, if you want to get thumbs up from supercar drivers on Rodeo drive, bring something like a Panda AE86. My fiancée used to work just off Rodeo drive, and I used to drive my 86 there quite often. I’ve received so many thumbs up from…

*Rushes home to purchase and download the game.

I’ve noticed most of the people who complain about the 86 being “underpowered” don’t have access to great technical driving roads. 86's are still quite popular in SoCal with its dozens of fantastic touge passes. Handling > power here, which is why I have no problem keeping up with supercars in the twisties with a CR-Z…

I’m starring you for being the first person in this thread to call the Toyota 86 by its proper name, and not the euro-spec “GT86.”

I disabled the DRL’s on my Honda. Now I know immediately to turn on the headlights at night because the road is no longer illuminated. I put the blame on the combination of bright DRL’s and always-on illuminated clusters. I’ve owned 24 cars in 20 years of driving, and this is the first I’ve had where I would forget to…

The Saturn Ion oem wing is remarkably dumb.

Honda must have stole them. My 2-seat CRZ has 5 cupholders.

I dislike it on my CRZ, because it turns off not only the AC, but also the fan motor for the HVAC system. So any time the car comes to a stop, it starts heating up quickly inside. If you keep the AC at it’s coldest setting, it won’t do it, so you have a choice of being frozen or broiled.

I shudder to think of all the Honda Beats that died to create that swimsuit.

Yeah, LA is chill AF. The only times I ever get fed up with drivers here is when it rains, and everyone either treats it as a rally stage and rolls their Ford Explorer into the center divider on their morning commute, or is totally afraid they’ll die and creep along at 20mph.

On the Korean site, it only shows grayscale, navy, and dark red. But that might just be a regional thing. My Korean future-father in law saw my car and asked why I would ever choose a bright red car. When I asked him “Why not” he said “Only a certain type of woman buys a color like that.” I asked him what color men…
