Because 12 sounds better than 8.

3rd Gear

Rage so intense I cannot put together a comprehensible thought.

Replace the key with something small and useful, like a bottle opener :/

What’s the progress on a standardized charging port? I can’t imagine the cluster F that will come about if manufacturers start the same crap cell phone manufacturers are doing.

Does anyone find it odd that in a time where cameras are used for filming the most extreme activities, even under water, that they are just off at the most inopportune moments? Having your body camera off is like pleading the fifth right? 

I can’t wait for the demise of new car dealers. 90% seem to be worthless middlemen that do nothing but add costs and complexity. Does anyone have a good estimate of the lobbying power between manufacturers and dealers? First impression is that manufacturers would vastly over power dealers but that doesn’t explain…

Well, drive faster and you won’t get hit.

It works in GTA sometimes

Flood damaged vehicles make the perfect donors for race cars. Texas, mmmmmmmm sounds like Raptors and Hell Cats abound.

He does the same thing in Japan that he does here, have fun with his friends while building cool looking cars. I thought everyone knew RWB was synonymous with a look and not a performance target. Is that why you seem to have such a negative opinion of his work? I like both RWB and Singer because they both exude…

Hey man, his hair isn’t even messed up, he can’t be going that fast. I rode without a helmet a few times in Kansas but I don’t complain at all about wearing one every time I ride in LA. I feel like it should be a rider’s choice even though for me it’s an always sort of thing now.

Mostly chassis tuning bits and aligning the cars. One of the only people I was able to speak with because of my crappy Japanese was his engine tuner at the time. If all you want is the look you can have that. Nakai takes his personal cars further than that, the best example being Stella. I was hoping to catch a…

Inter-office outburst achieved

It’s hard for me to see that angle. The first time I saw any of them in person was at the Motegi 12hr Enduro and they were being thrashed on by the RWB family. I guess he invites all the RWB owners to come beat up on 6 or so of his cars and they weren’t taking it easy at all. What the owners do with their personal…

I ended up with a 2006 Ford E350 Diesel SD that was a service truck for the city of LA. I’ve read the horror stories but also did enough research to understand why many people have problems and they seem avoidable. With the money I saved over not getting a 7.3 Excursion, I can “bulletproof” the 350. It wanders like…

There is nothing to get. Nakai isn’t trying to make cars for everyone. He is subject to the negative and positive aspects of a media storm surrounding a cult car. His customers love him and that’s all that really matters. He works hard enough that I guess he doesn’t even see most of the negative comments and the…

Just to be an asshole I really want an RWB slant nose with final touches from Singer. The first time I met Nakai-san was at Motegi and I saw exactly what RWB Porsches were made for. A visit to Singer would be the jammy jam!

More important that what cars to buy is what track to buy so you can enjoy them forever. I’ll build you one :/

What I wish there was more talk about is the steerability of truck and trailer combinations. I’m not in total regret anymore with my new hitch but a 2006 Ford E350 Diesel SD with a 26' V-nose enclosed trailer is one of the scariest things I’ve ever driven through LA. I wonder what’s the worst tow vehicle ever that…
