Wow, I had no idea that existed. Must be crazy expensive though.

Can you get a diesel land cruiser for that kind of money? One of my friends has been looking for a while for a decent one under $10k. Must be diesel manual. I'm in Canada, but he may be willing to import it from the US if the price is right.

In Canada we have a 15 year import restriction, so we've had these for a number of years now. I'd say that for higher-end cars like the Supra, more than half of the ones on the road where I live (Vancouver) are JDM. Even more common cars like the 300zx almost half are imported. All else being equal, JDM cars are…

Looking at a map, it's closer to San Diego to Seattle distance. Though I'd bet that the roads in China are a little worse and less direct than the I5.

I'd say it's at least close to the same level of bargain. They arguably give you $25k more car. Now if you still wanted the more basic model they originally offered, then that is a valid argument.

To be fair to Nissan, the current GT-R has a lot more standard than the one that cost $75k. They basically got rid of the 'base' model and made the premium model the new base.

Hyperbole

I reference this movie nearly every day in regards to the evolution of our society. Once 'Ow My Balls' comes out, I'm buying a bunch of guns and moving to the woods.

To be fair, there'd be a riot even if they won.

Huh, I started out as a Java programmer and found that there just aren't as many jobs as the C/C++/C# world. They also tend to pay less. Moved over to primarily C# a few years back. My current company is mostly C# and is having so much trouble finding C# devs. We are getting 1-2 resumes a week.

Hell, my Infiniti has locking diffs. Took it off-roading/mudding a couple months ago.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

You're from Vancouver right? So happy that I've started seeing R34s around town.

With a 15 year rule in Canada I've started to see a decent number of R34s around. So much want, but they are not cheap. Just did a quick search and the first GT-R that I see is a '99 V-Spec with 55,000km on it asking $50,000.

My (and my wife's) experience is the exact opposite. We both know plenty of nice normal guys that are fairly attractive and single. However, it seems like finding a nice normal woman is very difficult. And about half of my friends are women, but they're all crazy/jaded. My guy friends are always asking me about my…

Maybe an easier way would be to convert the linear motion to rotating a flywheel. Then they can add a 'boost' button. Seriously though, I just want a boost button.

There are a ton of research scientists working on creating nano-machines (and certainly many other fields) that are deep into what you are talking about.

Apologies, my 'vette knowledge is minimal and it was the first thing that popped up when Googling "C1 Corvette". The two-eyed model is indeed superior.

This article is the first time I've ever heard of these stickers. Of course I live in Canada (though on the coast).

It's great to follow them, but when you start a high-speed chase you are endangering the public and risking lives. Any amount of valuables in the truck are not work risking killing innocent civilians. This turned out ok in this instance but could have been far worse. The driver should probably be charged and let…
