“I had a package delivered today to a visually distinct front door, but it’s easier to ask every owner in my 1500 home master planned community on NextDoor if they got my package than to check the 2-3 houses on either side of me for the front door in the photo. Does anybody have my package?”

I think the best suggestion is actually combining two of the cars here with his ~$40K budget: Miata + Mini EV

Any reasonable adult who first hears of this story as “they named it paddock after the mass shooter!” would take 4 seconds on Google and learn the truth. Because the idea that a global racing series would name their garage area after a mass shooter is idiotic.

F1 probably could have come up with a different name than “paddock” for the garage area

Wow, can’t believe I’m the first to mention the Honda CR-Z:

Re: your Viper comment.  My dad was 16 in 1969. I asked him once how they didn’t all die from those high-horsepower cars with crap suspensions and terrible tires.  His answer was “talent”.  A ‘94 Viper only had 10% more horsepower than a 1969 Plymouth Judge, but had a lot more rubber.

+1, criticism of the delSol as a performance disappointment in an era of the NSX and then S2000 is strange. Honda knows how to build sportscars, both of those cars are appreciating wildly as we speak. So if this car is a disappointment, more likely that the expectations are incorrect than the car being a failure.

Fun delSol story.

If you want to compare Californians and Texans, the difference is, generally speaking Californians disappear and assimilate while Texans haul their “hold my beer” culture along with them and crap all over our surroundings.

The 25 MPH section just south of town not only doesn’t have a guardrail, but the painted line on the outside edge is inconsistent. Not because they did a poor job painting it, but because the dirt and asphalt outer edge have eroded.

You fucked up your state and made it uninhabitable for half the year and now you want to drive north to fuck up ours.

We see you as a threat to our way of life and murderers of our culture.

Lived in Texas for 8 years, never heard about the Colorado rivalry.

I moved to Colorado 12 years ago for offroading. I’ve been in Ouray every summer since.

Same frame / wheelbase, 4-cylinder hybrid Tacoma powerplant is the most likely outcome.

Bronco Sport is based on the Ford Escape, a unibody crossover with no low range. The Land Cruiser will be body-on-frame with a transfer case. No shock that Toyota isn’t doing a removable roof, but otherwise it’s far closer to the Bronco / Wrangler than a Bronco Sport.

Was there any doubt? Toyota gonna Toyota. I was hoping at least that it would get a spare tire on the rear door, with a better departure angle.

Tesla 3 / Y and Tundra / 4Runner / LC500 owner here.

It’s downmarket relative to the 3.4L TT in the GX / Tundra. As a current 4Runner + 700 lbs of offroading steel + 6100 elevation owner, the 2.4L Turbo+Hybrid powertrain looks like a welcome upgrade. But that 3.4L TT possibility got me all

I figure it’ll either be a “2-door” peer to the 4Runner (as the FJ was) with the same drivetrain options, or it’ll be a GX with a retro 70-series body.
