OH MY GOD

Now I REALLY feel bad for you.

You're still goin', huh?

I don't know about "dark", but Backwards Entry pretty much always wins. Lots of cool stuff in all the videos in this series, but a good Backwards (or you know, definitely past horizontal) Entry is like seeing someone on a dirt bike do a huge whip. It's seemingly less impressive than other "tricks" but just has more…

Uh...okay? I hope that comment made you feel redeemed in some way. Now I just feel bad for you.

Ahem...if you actually read my post, you'd see that I noted that. I don't use my phone in landscape and shouldn't have to. I didn't have to in the previous version, so why the hell would they change that fundamental functionality and eliminate the option?? Fucking stupid.

And the Allison V-12 engine is just so damn cool in these.

Ha, yeah I guess I gave you more confidence than Dusty! Seriously though, if you were going to do it, you can't just half-ass it or it will be waste of time and money.

I had a feeling you'd reply to this thread...

You are severely underestimating the brutality of this race and race course. Self-support is out of the question. A stock '93 Landcruiser wouldn't make it to mile 200. The safety mods are not insignificant (i.e. entire interior roll cage). I could go on. I appreciate your ambition, however. Racing in Baja is not…

1000 miles in Baja is way the fuck more gnarly than you think. And while I agree they're not racing a truly "stock" truck, it's as close as you can get while meeting safety requirements, blah blah blah. It's quite, quite different than your NASCAR reference.

Also, this was by far the hardest car to shift. The shift lever is this tiny little lollipop/magic wand thing sprouting out of the side of the car you're not used to shifting on, and the position, shift pattern, and fussy mechanism all conspire to make finding a gear like shoving a drinking straw into a cup full of…

Oh I know...I just couldn't resist. I thought his comment was pretty obvious, hence the snarky pic.

Totally agree. And why the hell would they get rid of the 7 day week view and only offer a 5-day view with "today" being at the far left (although you can move slightly side to side and change what day it's centered on without a full "swipe" motion)?? Who uses a calendar like that?!?!? Fucking stupid. I did notice you…

Back to the track and I'm helmeted and shoved into one of the launch edition cars, with carbon ceramic brakes, a wing, and a few other baubles. These cars also feature the Dynamic Plus package with drivetrain damping – engine and transmission mounts that change stiffness based on everything from throttle input to…

Neutral: Can You Think Of Worse CEO Behavior? This Takada guy seems to take the cake.

Be glad you can officially use those cans at all. Here in Cali, they'd be outlawed. We're supposed to use shitty spill proof cans, which are crazy expensive and don't work well, particularly with dirt bikes.

You didn't actually transport gas in those cans, in the backseat, right? This was for showing the space with an item of known size, for representational purposes only, right??

True, but there should still be a law against doing THAT to a Cobra.
