I went against the grain and bought a 2017 Toyota Auris (US-Spec, or as we call it, the Toyota Corolla iM). Fully loaded, lime green, just $20k, and potential for a hybrid version (since Toyota has a current-gen Auris Hybrid available in Europe).

Grand Theft Mario... I’d buy it.

I found this comment to be a bit wintry. It was cold...

I didn’t get to Cars and Coffee yesterday cause i was busy working on closing on a new car 👍🏼

Anything for the new Toyota iM? Saw one at my local Toyota dealer in the lime green and just fell in love. I might be getting it, but it IS a bit down in the power department.

There’s 92 cars. But this tiny compared to the 200 cars and over 700 drivers that the 24H of Nurburgring has. But still, 92 is nothing to sneeze at. Daytona only has 55 cars on the entry list.

Been watching all day. Marcel Fassler is also in the race, as is Chantal Kroll, one of the few female racers in the race.

And yes, the live-stream is glitchy as fuck. Woke up at 9am EST time this morning and put it on on my Xbox One, and got a nighttime feed, but when I backed out and went back in, it went to a daytime…

I have Patrick’s number... or is that his autograph?

oof. I could be safe with her air bags...

OR you could just get an EXTERNAL drive...

I’m at that point too with my Xbox One. I have a launch year console with the 500GB drive, and boy, these games and DLC are space hogs. I have about 50GB left. just enough for one more game or several DLCs for Forza.

I feel like with the limited space constraints of Blu-ray discs and the desire to keep loading times…

Bugatti Chiron is curvy without looking 25 years old. Toyota’s FT-1 Concept... curvy. Toyota’s MKIV Supra, curvy. Koenigsegg Agera, curvy. Like J.Lo, nothing wrong with curves lol.

I know that’s not your own words, but that thing about time? People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect. But actually, from a nonlinear, non-subjective viewpoint, it’s more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey ... stuff.

I still have mine :D

OR... the slightly-lower-than-center right-hand DOT suggests a more 3-dimensional N similar to the N from the N64 logo.

Was the tree insured by Geico?

Pedestrian crash regulations. And Aerodynamics for fuel economy.

I just don’t see how these design regulations translate to better pedestrian safety or how dozens of sharp edges all over a car’s exterior translates to better aero; sharp edges cause turbulence which increases drag, which means the engine has to work…

You don’t say.

Well, Lexus’ designers work for Toyota, not Lexus.

And well, could be worse. They could have used the new Prius’ headlights and the Predator grill... (on second thought, seems like the designers did implement the Predator grill on the new Prius but it is less conspicuous than the 2018 Camry’s... But imagine it…
