Slightly massaged Z4 *as specified by Toyota*. There was a really good investigative story a month or two ago that exposed just how much (quite a bit and where it counts) Toyota there is in the Z4/Supra, engine and all. So while the cars are quite similar, the influence goes both ways.

Or just drive without a front plate and pay the “fixit” fine if you ever get cited. Or! Or get one of the slick mounts that lets you slide the plate under the bumper.

I feel pretty sure he hit “record” and not “play”.

From 2002:

My fav:

Valvetronic is variable valve lift, not timing. VANOS is variable timing.

The fact that the body was briefly unbolted from the frame for the purpose of installing a lift does not justify calling this a “frame-up” re-build.

What if your car breaks down and you need to get out... Get out and do something useful like change a flat tire?

Here’s your Udon with pumpkin (close enough):

Many years ago I used to be a courier and let me tell you that hearts are delivered using the fastest means available including commercial flights. I only delivered a heart once, picking it up at a children’s hospital and delivering it to an airline’s office at the airport to be hand carried by a pilot, in the…

By definition, what you described is reaction, not anticipation. Meaning it happened *after* a signalling event (in your example, hard braking.) Moreover, that is at the track, not the street where the majority of us spend our time driving and events occur that we, but no car presently, can anticipate.

“It’s not the 4-speed slushbox out of an old Malibu, it’s one of the best *automatic* transmissions available.” There, fixed that for you.
It could provide the highest performance imaginable, but no automatic will anticipate what you need the way you want it. That particular kind of engagement (and fun) can only be…

Don’t believe him. The GTI is totally fun. If you can’t get purposefully and controllably sideways in a GTI, you are doing it wrong.

Acosta wasn’t just asking a hard question, he was engaging in debate. That isn’t the forum for that and regardless of who the president is, you don’t badger them that way and you don’t refuse direct requests. This action was totally justified.

Ice can help, too. Don’t know why, off hand, but ice makes the dark red go away leaving you with much less of a stain. I don’t know how well this would work on something long set in, though.
