Impressive ladder.

Chicago metra have a cheaper, simpler solution. Seat backs flip back and forth.

Hmmm... I like this. Formula One Top Gear Challenge. The cars are not only racing each other but also in england a blimp accross the english channel or COTA a cowboy rustling up some cattle. If the race winner doesn't beat it they will have to wear a demin suit for a day.

I was thinking the exact same thing. His part was completely avoidable.

I took my bone stock festiva soloing a week after i bought it. Skinny all-seasons, 63hp, and barely working shocks all made for one of the most fun solos i've ever done. So much body roll, understeer, and lack of brakes, but so much fun.

Oops, didnt mean to finish. What I really hope is this gives Toyota some real motivation to bring a diesel version over with the new tacoma.

My feelings exactly. As a happy tacoma owner who does a fair bit of towing I am looking forward to this. I will be looking to update my truck in the next few years and it will be nice to have a solid option to actually make me think twice about just getting a newer tacoma. I really hope the diesel doesn't turn out to…

I hope he builds another Spruce Goose. Oh wait, SPACE X.

Anyone who remembers to put the shrink wrap on before connecting the wires is a true pro in my book. I connect wires all the time and I still forget about 70% of the time.

The racecar is an SCCA classed ITD car, so the engine is mostly stock. The street festiva is getting an NA BP soon. Planning to swap that into the racecar and stick some sticky slicks under it and show all those cocky miatas whose boss...

Ya, although you could do the Mazda BP put of a Miata with a little bit of turboing and get alot more power. Bolt on transmission still...

This. An then people will claim that baseball players are athletes. They're just one step above golfers. Swing stick, jog. Instead of swing swing stick walk next to guy carrying your heavy bag of clubs.

A flat? Do Canadian trains have tires? Am I missing something?

FYI, Micheal Jackson is still performing. He just performed at the Billboard music awards. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/…

It's interesting how websites can have looks, even if you cant put your finger on what makes them give off certain impressions. At first glance maybach's website looks like those websites you end up on when you accidentally type something like fararri.com .

Those options varied from car to car, but the main modifications included all-aluminium monocoque and aluminium body panels, aluminium-block, wide-angle head, dry-sumped 3.8-litre XK engine with fuel injection, and aluminium hardtop.

I sort of agree with you. I think that removing the 500 from the regular series and making it more of a special run what ya brung sort of race would really make it special. I don't think letting stock cars out there with open wheel cars would work, but some sort of open rules based loosely on the current generation of…

So, Aspires are shit, but they're not exactly rebadged KIA's. They were redesigned Festivas by KIA for Ford. Similar to how the Festiva was designed by MAZDA for FORD, then built by KIA. The Aspire has the exact same suspension and drive train has the MAZDA designed Festiva (albiet with different gear ratios and…

As my name suggests I am quite a believer in sub-70HP hooniganism. I may not get above 90mph on the straight aways, but it's always a blast out-braking and out-cornering many of the cars in my group. (including **cough, cough** the miatas)

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I don't understand the appeal of wheelieing all over the place. Why would I want my vehicle designed with a center of gravity so far back that my handling is most likely greatly compramised? I'd rather carve around the dunes with a well balanced, overpowered machine than go slow…
