Tada doesn’t strike me as the type of guy that makes a lot of mistakes. If he found it necessary to compromise, I feel like we can trust his reasoning. If the 86 and Supra had to have parts from other manufacturers to make it to market at (relatively) reasonable price points, I say, so be it.

I’m sure Toyota is sad they’ll miss out on your used car purchase in 7 years as a result.
“Oh, sorry! I thought this was the funeral for Buick Cascada.”
Yeah, but on day 1 removing the engine was four bolts.
Ah, the man who taught me to turn my first wrench. Thank you!
And yes, it’d be nice to get the Golden Eagle up and driving. That thing’s gorgeous.
Man, you’ve come a LONG way since standing in my parking lot in college, carefully removing the valve cover from your burgundy XJ.
That VIN plate would have looked great on a Mahindra Roxor.
That’s just a little too Big Brother for my taste... I’d rather just pay a little more for insurance than have my speed/location monitored. It’s not even about phone use (I don’t really touch my phone when driving), it’s more so about privacy. That’s why I have location services disabled on almost every app aside from…
driving a stick means nothing anymore unless you are first starting to use it. you can still use your phone and drive a stick
I can't decide between:
“Guys as you know I’m always thinking fast,” Diesel begins. “And thinking about the responsibility. I’m thinking something iconic and deserving of your loyalty. I know this sounds crazy, but every blue moon I feel like Pablo up there sends me someone. Another soldier for the fight for truth. And today, someone came by…
“With great nameplates like LeMans, Sunbird, and Grand Am, it’s a surprise that this brand could die such a death.”
BMW still makes the 5 series GT? I’d rather have this.
Hobby store memories of the Pajero. Not as much fun as my Hornet back in the day, but still pretty cool.
Autopilot, flame throwers, and the dumbass tunnels are stupid, and Elon Musk is a child, but I genuinely like most of what Tesla is doing with its product. The world is a complex place and no issue is black and white.
I can’t figure out how Uber can claim to lose money anyway...
I have a 68 Datsun Roadster with this. While its fun to think of, and use this as a “cruise control”, it was actually to help warm the car up in tandem with the choke. It actually has a bunch of other uses such as when setting carbs or getting my car to idle properly. That said, while its highly not recommended, you…
Simply, it’s a challenge.
It appeals to the engineer-y/problem solve-y side of my brain. Here’s a vehicle that—if we’re honest—was destined for the junkyard. It had a bad frame, a cracked engine, a horrible suspension, a bad ignition system...the list goes on.
Understanding these problems, laying out a plan to solve…
This! I’d have driven it home, parked it and waited for the dealership to call me when it was “ready”.
