I love Checo, but...

I was waiting on Honda to decide whether or not they were going to make a targa NC1 NSX. When they announced the Type-S, that dashed those hopes.

“ Tesla will become part of an existing OEM”

Legacy / existing companies change at speeds far slower and at levels of success far lower than new companies. Because their institutional inertia of “this is how we’ve always done it” holds them back.

Ricciardo is going to make such a great broadcaster one day.

I have a Model Y, I did not pay for FSD. My prediction was that the car would be continually updated with new hardware, and that some FSD features would be limited by lack of correct hardware on the older cars.

Go back and watch their hands in the corner. Lewis picked a line, turned in and held the turn angle. Max turns in, straightens out then turns in harder. It’s almost as if Max expected Lewis to back out of the spot after his first turn in. Lewis didn’t.

It wont tempt any truck people away from their jacked up coal rolling toys that dont do any work

Lexus GS350 enters the ring.

(I’m pretty sure the Avalon hybrid is the basis for the Lexus ES hybrid recommended above, also 700-800+ miles on a tank drooooool)

I mostly offroad with FJ’s, and can probably count the number of 4Runners with KDSS in our club on one hand. I’ve never personally seen KDSS having a problem on the trail, I was also unable to find a thread/post with many of the key words I’d think to search for. What year is your truck, does the stock armor piece…

the OEM skid can handle the weight of the vehicle on rocks.

I can’t decide how much of a poser I’d be if I got the TRD Pro grill logo put on too.

My ‘18 TRD Offroad was $37K before TTL, in Denver. Didn’t go with the KDSS because the hydraulic line routing under the frame behind the driver front wheel is a serious risk offroad. Toyota seems to have upgraded the armor since, rather than relocate the lines. Here’s hoping that it goes through/above the frame in the…

and there is nothing special about it

Boulder, Colorado.

C8 Corvettes are doing the same thing, $20-30K+ over MSRP. Selling to people with more money than patience.  In 8 years they’ll be common as dirt and depreciated heavily.

Waiting to see if the NSX Spider rumors are true (Dec ‘21), if they aren’t the LC500 convertible is at the top of my list. “Not a numbers car” is simply excusing it for costing twice as much as a Supra but slower to 60.  If they do an LC-F convertible I will definitely be getting a REALMK5 plate.

My local Chevy dealer has a Ford Mustang on their big showoff ramp on the corner.

The last year of the 4.0L V6, you’ll regret selling it :-) ask anybody who owns the new 3.5
