And yet you don’t actually need to go to a gym to do any of the exercises discussed here, with the possible exception of pull-ups (unless you have a pull-up bar at home in which case you’re golden)...

The proportions of the RF still look wrong to me, in pictures and having now seen it in person at the LAAS last fall. The roofline is too tall.
If you intend to tune, go DSG all day long. Manual clutches just aren’t up to the task; there are several aftermarket but even they never seem to hold up for more than a few tens of thousands of miles, whereas the DSG clutches with appropriate tune will last the life of the vehicle.
I had a 2016 6MT R in the same Limestone Grey Metallic with the adjustable suspension (DCC) and nav package. It was fun while I had it but the manual was never as precise as that in my prior FR-S, even with a Dieselgeek Sigma 6 shift kit and upgraded knob. It was close but it was still very much a linkage. I now have…
Fortunately there are several really easy ways to fix it. One is to use VCDS/Vag-Com (if you already have it or can get someone with it local) or OBDEleven to disable it in software (this is what I did on my R and on my S3). The other is to get under the hood and unplug the actual device power connector; it sits about…
I think (and this article supports the notion that) it (being “raised atheist”) will become much more common in the generations following yours and mine. My parents, they tried to force religion on me, but they also (perhaps foolishly from their perspective) taught me how to think for myself and form my own…
This is probably buried in the comments someplace but isn’t this on the MLB platform, not the MQB platform? MQB is the small car platform (Golf, A/S3) whereas MLB is the mid-/large sized platform...
The problem that I have with modern Lexuses is the switchgear and buttons...They all look like something out of a Corolla. The all-caps Helvetica (I think) labels on everything just look cheap (this after having just checked out an RC-F this past weekend). Not to mention the matte gunetal plastic surrounds around all…
Dieselgate or not the R400 was never coming to the States, just like the GTI Clubsport is never coming to the States.
I don’t think the average Jalop is spending $80K on a car. Maybe they’ll be third or fourth owners some day down the line if Toyota makes and sells enough that they aren’t super rare. Also, there’s a certain cachet that goes along with owning a Corvette that isn’t shared with folks who buy Toyotas. maybe the NewPra…
It’s a Toyota; that’s a given.
Did you miss where they got caught allegedly lying about emissions also? However I fully support a diesel...My former Cummins Ram 2500 (2013) would get over 20MPG on the highway; pretty good for a vehicle weighing almost three and a half tons.
That was actually WHEN I was hit by the car so I dunno.
Have also been hit by a car. Can confirm.
Good to know...according to some googling there were approximately 11,500 of the MK4 Supra sold over their lifetime in the US...So not exactly big sales numbers.
And out of curiosity who do you see buying an $80,000+ vehicle that’s badged as a Toyota? You’re not going to see a 500+hp New Supra (I suggest NewPra). I mean, you might in a dealership. But no one will be buying them.
The LC500 weights 4435 lbs in top trim (LC500h). It’s no super sports fighter. It is a weighty GT car.
