I think some of the different interpretations of the torque thrusts seen over the past ten years are pretty tasteless, just because some of them take a very tasteful look and piss all over it with generic castings and excessive chrome and gaudy center caps and poor back spacing and cheap tires. It may not be the…

Can anyone please explain to me why Yamaha and Toyota don't work out some kind of partnership for motorsports programs? Toyota has invested heavily into Yamaha and the two seem to have a solid working relationship, but it bugs me that Toyota doesn't help with Yamaha's MotoGP program. Yamaha could use the assist since…

The GT-R owner's first mistake was not using the car for 250k worth of track days.

That would of been AUUUUSSS-SSSSOOMMMMMEEEEE.

If I was going to go to all the trouble, I'd rather have a fuel injected GENIII or newer small block and matching six speed. It's not in the name of brand bashing but either swap is a lot of work, so why not put in the extra tenth and get a better powertrain overall?

I suppose that's like nature's own elephant walk.

I really don't have any problem with the sound, it was just an easy jab.

That exhaust sounds fine. I think it's just my inner old man, but I kind of lean towards quieter exhaust. When I'm away for school, I live on a densely populated mountain road and people treat it like their own personal track day (cars and bikes) and it gets kind of agitating whenever you hear the millionth uncorked…

Are you impersonating the Nissan's exhaust note?

The Corvette is truly in a league of its own in how he provides a level of performance at a price that not many other cars can compete with.

That's weird.

If it helps balance the overall fuel economy estimates of a rotary option for the MX-5, then I'm all for it. I honestly don't think it would take away from the driving experience as the previous generation of engines have been anything exotic, bar the MazdaSpeed turbo from a while back. Most people that buy the car…

Maybe it's for the best that the series stay dead. I really enjoyed ZOE2, it played like a more polished and accessible Shinobi game and the anime cut scenes sweetened the whole deal, dispute the bad voice acting.

Really glad the situation didn't have to be any worse than it was and everybody got along well afterwords.

I would like to marry you, dude.

... And at that point he realized the hours he spent on forums reading how super easy the swap would be turned out to be quite misleading and how much more content he would be having a turn-key car with the factory 4-pot.

I now have the urge to move to Russia and finance a Seat.

I would just like to state that as a rider (track days, canyon carver, commuter, blah blah blah) and observer of how traffic usually works in America that our infrastructure and general driver's training sucks and isn't compatible with motorcycles at all.

Okay, so when will Toyota and Yamaha start off some kind of partnership to help fund the factory motoGP squad? The two have been working together for decades now in industry and are both mortal enemies to Honda. Yamaha could use the cash influx to help develop and fund their M1s' racing program (they are going to need…

I was really looking forward to breaking in my new (to me, at least) R1 for the Spring/Summer time before classes started back, but I really don't want to be killed by some community college drop-out.

I just don't think the NRA can withstand the combined scrutiny of Murphy's Law and sheer irony for much longer.
