Oh cool! Yes, that must be the one actually. It’s not an RC version but a lot of Tamiya’s older 1/24 scale kits from the 70's had a simple electric motor and space for 2 or 4 AA’ s while sacrificing chassis and interior details. The outer details were still spot on Tamiya but it had a playability factor as well with…

Hmmmm, my childhood memory could be all jumbled up but I could have sworn there was a Tamiya kit of that Schnitzer Celica. The Rodenstock eyewear sponsorship with the frame in the center seems to have relit a synapse or two.

Yikes. Looks like that car didn’t fare too well in the small overlap test.

The side windows go too far back. Make it similar in length to the sedan and give it a terrible blind spot and it’ll look better.

Well, if history taught us anything, once Alonso leaves McLaren-Honda, it will probably become a strong contender for the title while whatever promising team he moves to inexplicably loses its edge in a frustratingly quick fashion.

It’s used at the end of a sentence to politely say “it is” or”be”. I know I’m probably not explaining this properly but instead of a simple yes, or it’s 5 o’clock, or it’s wet, or it’s cold, this is how or what it is or whatever, you end it with desu and your saying it in a polite and proper manner.

Yes, it’s a magical car. A timeless teutonic beauty. It also helps if your a magician when your working on one.

So he’s just a dodgy car salesman after all.

No, I probably wouldn’t buy it. But maybe ask if Mario Cantone is interested.

I’m sure it’s trivial but aren’t these folks basically posing in front of what’s essentially microwave radiation directed towards them?

The sound and smell, but especially the smell. I’ve had the pleasure of being behind him several times and the rich gas smell that’s more akin to a classic muscle car then any modern day car is the dead give away for me.

Cities that subsidizes cops to use their own personal vehicles for patrol. Back in the day, I remember Jersey City used to have that. It’s been years so I’m not sure they still do that.

Good thing it was a wooden Morgan and not a Lotus Seven or we would have had a couple of decapitations in that scenario.

Lewis in a NASCAR race? I’m not sure he could keep his composure after saying “he hit me” on the team radio after about the 6th time.

Yes, I think it’s wrong. As a car person you should try to figure out what kind of car it is from the shape of it and maybe some additional clues like the bottom part of the wheel if they’re visible.

Those LH cars had one of the dumbest battery changing routines one could encounter in an everyday family car.

Well, in his defense, I have heard meth causes a very bad case of dry mouth.

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that in this case. My ‘which Asian is this’ radar tells me this gentlemen is most likely Japanese.

I can’t quite put my finger on it but I have a hunch I’ve seen that grill shape before.

So wait, does this thing have an intake charge air cooling system akin to having an AC evaporator between the supercharger and the intake?
