A lot of people got the FRS as their first sports car, and as far as I can tell a significant portion of those got sold with manuals. A lot of original FRS owners are older and more financially comfortable now and may be tempted to upgrade to a Supra. A manual only makes sense.

The HMS Queen Elizabeth may not be more powerful than a Nimitz class carrier, but with their beer and co-ed berthings they are absolutely a whole fucking lot less miserable

In Durham NC they got a BMW M5 unmarked car now. Got me for speeding. Absolutely no clue, most stealth unmarked I have ever seen. They probably got it in a drug bust or something.

I have never been more torn on a jalopnik post. On the one hand, I hate any regulation on car safety (if you can get it down the road without impeding others too much, go for it and accept the consequences). But on the other, I was ran off the road by a fucking douchebag overcompensating brodozer a couple weeks ago on…

In VA or NC your only option to get a title would be to try and get an abandoned vehicle title. Which is just a massive pain in the ass.

Why buy such an interesting car to stuff an LS in? shove it in a chevette or something. Same weight, bigger engine compartment.

If it is a manual, why bother pulling the drive shaft? You can flat tow stick shifts in neutral no prob

I rented a Daihatsu Hijet in Japan. I absolutely did not fit at all but I have a massive love for all Kei cars now.

My 2012 Tacoma is a stripper. Single cab with the basic bench, Stick shift, no cruise control, no intermittent wipers, no electric windows, no electric locks

Yep. Looks like a truck.

I am really tempted by these. I could finally own a German car that doesn’t kill itself within a year.

CVT’s are for scooters, not cars. Especially CVT’s that simulate gear ratios, getting rid of the only advantage they provide

I need to get this. I drive my little Tacoma as little as possible, but it is damn convenient when I need something more reliable than one of my MR2's for a long trip, and I need to go faster than my real DD, a Ruckus.

As a fellow DC dweller. Get a scooter. So fuel efficient you never have to think about gas, and you can park it literally anywhere. Pull in perpindicular to people parallel parking. Lock it to a bike rack. Lock it to a traffic sign. All perfectly fine. In DC and virginia at least, once that motor is off, it is a…

Oh hell yes NP, the best lexus

That is exactly what his character would say.

And some say he is still trapped there today

So 3 grand for a slightly spiced up 28 year old appliance with annoying seat belts, no radio, 100k plus miles, and due for a timing belt change on one of the least pleasant engines I have ever worked on. CP so hard I wouldn’t even spend somebody else’s money on this. So many more interesting things you can get in that…

He absolutely knows how to build a car, or at least his employees do. Have you ever driven one? Absolutely fantastic. What he does not know how to do is build a car quickly, profitably, or consistently

The Mustang GT350 vs a hellcat challenger vs a Camaro ZL1 would be pretty good racing. Shitty muscle cars are the only sports cars that are really selling in America right now, so a racing series featuring their top-spec versions would probably be pretty popular too.
