Not sure you could have a username that did a better job of announcing that you know what the fuck you’re talking about without having to come out and say “I know shit about stringed instruments!”
I’ve had 3 Gen3's over the years and they are a hoot! I Currently have an 03 5-speed in “Electric Green Mica” and yes, they are the definition of a “Slow Fast Car”, and tons of fun to drive even for tall people. Try to avoid the SMT transmission (Unless it’s a super low mile car i.e. 50K or less miles) and go with a…
I really really really want one of these. I’ve raced an AW11 before and I currently daily a series 1 Elise. But something about the MR2 Spyder just tickles me. In my head it’s 3/4 of the Elise without many of the Elise compromises (Ever present fear of head gasket going, rattles like you wouldn’t believe, UK build…

I agree it’s basically the ideal commuter car if you aren’t in traffic a lot. Just not a whole lot of storage space, but I still managed a 4 day trip with minimal camera and camping gear in…

At this point, we can make some reasonable assumptions about Toyota’s production timeframe:
Neutral: Sprite
What happy car do you want right now?
I’m pretty sure the diner on the left is Nathan Rabin. I know freelancing is tough, but I had no idea that he’d started doing stock photo modeling for extra cash.
And amphibians.
Fur or scale or exoskeleton parent?
F150 can do that too. I see lots of people really doing that
“My stars.”
This is what I love about Jalopnik. Any idiot off the street can say “LS swap”, but it takes people who are both passionate and truly insane to come up with something like this.
You mean like the guy that built the “Civette” where it’s a Civic hatch over a Corvette?
So...basically the engine version of building the A-10 around the 30mm GAU-8 Avenger rotary cannon.
