Nice!

Quote from the mechanic, "We don't work on many turbo cars." Could have told me before messing up the car!

We should be friends. Lovers of crazy Japanese cars who don't feel the need to throw aftermarket parts at them.

Based on your screen name I'm guessing the 4 doors are handy. WE haul our kinds around in the Evo as well. Huge fun.

You found the rare one. Cherish it. Protect it. I tried to find one in 1999/2000. Each and every GSX I looked at was beat to death. Just rung out husks of their former selves. Leaks, dents, cracked seals and messed up interiors. I ended up with a 97 GS-T as the next best thing. It was a great, fun little car. …

All the cars you mentioned exist because people are weird, don't buy cars based on logic alone and one person's version of fun or good value aren't the same as another. All the cars you listed are great, but don't scratch everyone's itch.

As you have looked at the data for Scion historically, are there any surprises in people being drawn to the brand who are out of the target profile? Perhaps older folks or rural buyers? It seems that the first gen xB had good, wide scale acceptance as an interesting alternative to the standard hatch or sedan.

Is the trend of larger and larger entry level full sized trucks sustainable? It seems that the trend is bigger is much better, even if there isn't that much more performance or capacity in the vehicle.

It looks like persuade is the key word that needs to be used when describing flying the B-52. You persuade it to go left or right. Also, a moment of acknowledgement that GoPros have really changed what we can see first hand. Cool tech.

GM's Corvette DP, which earned the final Grand-Am Rolex Series DP championship in 2013 and currently leads the TUDOR Championship Prototype standings, has become synonymous with the DP formula. Yet with tubeframe DPs set to be replaced by carbon-fiber P2 coupes in 2017, GM Racing is facing a decision whether to make a…

Wow, you really had something you wanted to say. I like DPs and understand why they are the way they are. I was just saying, if you read the actual words I wrote, that the LMPs have know design features that are intended to defer flight. The fact that the current DP specification only has a couple of more years left…

LMP1 and LMP2 have reasonably good features to help prevent flips including the longitudinal fin and large cutouts over the wheel wells. Not perfect, but they do address the risk. The DP cars are short for this world, so they probably won't invest much in them.

Good point. your joints are mechanical, you have a constant bad rash and you are dressed all in black. Best to avoid the desert planet.

Sure it depends where you want to live. It does with every city. I've lived here for 17 years and unless you want to live in Atlantic Station, downtown Decatur or on top of Perimeter Mall you can do better than $300k. Heck, I bought a 2700 sq foot house, on an acre, in a good school district for less than that and I…

Try buying a house in North Jersey vs Atlanta. Did a quick look at a couple of websites and the cost of living in Atlanta vs Montvale is about 50% less.

We should do lunch sometime. It is just around the corner from us.

They are right now, but are moving down right next to the airport. I can see them from my office and I'm hoping for a good neighbor discount. They are putting in a "test track", go-kart track and off road circuit. on the facility as well.

Porsche North America, Lotus Cars USA, Triumph Motorcycles America are all based here in Atlanta. It is a good location with quick access to the ports in Savanna and Charleston, low cost of living and agreeable local governments. Mercedes would be a welcome addition.

This. So much this. The beauty of being an American F-1, WEC, WRC, TUSC fan is that it is damn hard to be spoiled if you avoid the enthusiast media. I went on a cruise over thanksgiving week and missed the last F-1 race. It was a week after we got home before we could watch the race due to family stuff. I had no…
