I thought the Hatsune Miku tie in was just confusing.

you clearly forget about that Aston Martin that looks just like a classic Mustang. The name eludes me at the moment, but Aston ripped off Ford first, if you're going to go that route.

Montana must have the guy who did Three Wolf Moon on retainer

Volvo V70R, believe it or not.

The 850/V70 platform must have a lot of flex, because Volvo makes an OEM strut tower brace. I figured, if Volvo needed to make one themselves, the car must definitely benefit. I scored one for $69 shipped (cheapest mod ever for that car - everything is usually ridiculously expensive) and…

I rock a set of Eagle GTs on my V70R. They have the widest footprint of any tire in the class and outscored everything else in wet weather and dry weather handling. AN excellent tire.

believe it or not someone in California already has a CA titled Cappuccino. It is as glorious in real life as you imagined. I've seen it at Cars and Coffee.

Exactly, didn't these people see that documentary about the Moon Nazis, Iron Sky?

how the hell did they sneak it into Brave?

But yeah I was going to say the same, it IS in every movie, just -where- it is is the mystery

... why the fuck would you put an Accord nose on this?

I had an 87 SR-5 notch for a while and it was okay to look at, if anything, the notchback part is the problem. I bought it for $1500 just six years ago. The drift craze was well into full swing by then and Initial D had been heard of from coast to coast.

one.…

exactly. The lambo makes a lot more sense if it were a stunticon.

It's the leader of the Stunticons.

holy hell is that really what he wore in the music video?

It's like someone hired the guy that did Micheal Jackson's costume designer from Thriller and then told him to do it in Hulkamania colors.

I'm interested to know the specifics here -is this effectively just a 'tune' for the electric car and not actually a bigger motor?

It sounds like they revised what the controller box was telling the electric motors to do.

It's still slower than a Tango, though.

I agree the car looks terrible, but more due to the Mazda6 nose.

I'm going to tell the GF to get a Focus instead - after years of wanting a Mazda3. Ford is finally fixing the nose of the Focus to get rid of those icky fangs with a more appropriate fascia, so that's looking like it's back in.

ah, well then you have your choice of AT or MT and a slightly higher output engine

First generation V70Rs, like mine, were not available with MT stateside.

IIRC they contracted them thru Toysport in Gardena Ca.

impressive; do you have pictures of the CHP Alltrac Camrys?

I figured the parts for any engine under the hood of that thing (and again, I vaguely recall looking closely and thinking, "there's nothing under the hood"
there might be a block or something but I imagine the engine is elsewhere and made of unobtainium or can only be bought by calling Luigi directly in Italy to order…

I only say LSX because this decomposing orange Montreal, I do not believe has an engine in it.

Also, because LSx is easy, cheap and light and simple to make run
