As long as the body kit is MADE for fender washers, like the Pandem and Rocket Bunny kits, I think it looks good. But using rivets/fender washers on a kit not designed with them in mind just looks half-assed.

Volkswagens with delusions of grandeur

But all of Audi’s line up looks like they copy-pasted a single model and used the scaling tool to fit it into a certain volume of space.

The bass boat flake really sets off the 90's vibe. I know the pinstriped wheel wells are supposed to be the accent piece, but having that same design on the side of the truck would’ve really cemented the look. 

I think they wanted to keep the center of gravity as low as possible, hence them sticking with the Subaru engine. I think it’s even lower than the Supra’s, despite the Supra being lower to the ground. 

Not with the boxer engine. This is basically running the exact same drivetrain as the GR Corolla, which means the engine is transverse mounted and higher up, giving a LOT more room for turbo mounting. 

See, I wish they would have used a Subaru transaxle/AWD system along with the GR Corolla’s engine. Seeing a transverse mounted engine in the GR86 just feels wrong. It’s going to have the characteristics of a FWD based AWD system by default, instead of the RWD setup the chassis deserves. I know you can do a 30/70…

The act of yanking out the F-150 is likely NOT what did in the Cybertruck. In the scene before the failure, the Cybertruck is driven off a concrete pipe, and the hitch mount actually HITS the pipe on the way down. The rear-end drops about 4 feet before it hits the pipe. So the Cybertruck’s frame was probably weakened/c…

No, it’s how we in the Black community refer to other Black folks who pander to conservative Whites, trying to ingratiate themselves to people who hate them. For reference, see “coon” or “Steppin Fetchit”.

The old-school Jaguar badge is an absolute classic.

Tangentially related, but if y’all haven’t sean Ant’s “Master Mechanic” series, it’s worth a watch. He builds an Alfa Romeo 158 homage from scratch. If you miss James May’s “The Reassembler”, this series scratches that itch but with more automotive focus. 

CPO CX-90 is a good choice. The requester doesn’t seem to REALLY want a hardcore offroader anyway, so for that budget the CX-90 is probably your best bet for a “fun to drive” SUV.

Just checked TireRack, The Ventus V12 Evo 2's don’t even have a treadwear warranty. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4s have a 6 year/30k mile warranty. I think I’d be willing to pay the extra $90 per tire for that. 

Just from the looks, it doesn’t appear to be terribly aerodynamic, and it’s also HORRIFICALLY underpowered for a 5300-5800lb vehicle. The RWD models have 201 or 215hp (standard range and long range respectively), and the AWD long range model tops out at 380hp. The long range RWD only manages 304 miles for a 99kwh…

I’ve been using the Ventus line from Hankook for about 10 years now, and I’ve been VERY happy with them. I think I’ve had 3 sets so far across 2 cars. My newer Mazda’s OEM set is ready for a swap (terrible Yokohamas), and I’ll definitely be going with the Hankooks again.

I’ve had one for a few years now, and I absolutely love it. Found mine in 2020 with just 11k miles on it, and I’m up to 60k now. 2 recommendations:

Yeah, I’ve experienced this personally. My sister-in-law had a low speed crash in our Mazda6. The headlight alone was $2k from the dealer. The headlight swivels when you turn on the high-trim Mazda’s, which makes them pricey. 

I saw the K-swapped 308 at Radwood LA in 2022, and it was EASILY my favorite car of the show. I’m no Ferrari purist, and the 308 is easily my favorite car they’ve ever made, so the swap had me geeking out. Can’t wait to see what he does with the F40. 

All through the height of the pandemic, I was seeing gas at around $2.20 when I was living in Palm Springs and most of IE.
