“Bro, my car would SMOKE yours... If the computer in it ever wanted to drive faster than the posted speed limit.”

No, don’t buy a GT86. Buy a Camaro or Mustang GT with a manual. This would be the larger pain in Toyota’s ass.

As Bongo says elsewhere in this thread

Zandvoort sits right along the Dutch coast of the North Sea, and
hosted F1 for 30 grands prix, from 1952 through its most recent one in 1985.

If you want a lighter car, buy a lighter car. Stripping stuff out to slightly alter the dynamics (double-blind test back to back and see if you REALLY notice) while paying an absurd premium is crazy.

Also, check out any enthusiast forum and you’ll find the craziest SOBs on the internet in the “weight reduction”…

Naw. I’m good. Because what ‘actually’ ends up happening, is he tries a bunch of things that the established industry already ‘knows’ don;t work (because they’ve tried it), and then lands on pretty much what everyone else is already doing and would have told him to do from the start. Tesla production and all the goofy…

Yeah fuck it let’s just do nothing and see if it changes anything.

No, no you don’t. These are all very bad ideas, and they will all rely on huge amounts of public funds that could be better spent on modes of transportation that, you know, work.

I’m almost physically nauseated to bring this garbage out of the greys, but I just have to address it and I don’t buy into that passive aggressive screenshot horseshit that they do over at The Root...

I don’t know man... I would absolute tell a public policy surveyor that I’d pay elenty zillion dollars to ride on Jeremy Clarkson’s TGV12 Sports-Train.

Giving people a separate grade for effort stops in like the 6th grade at the latest. Grown-ass adults don’t need admiration or credit just for trying.

I mean the archetype of “cooky crackpot who invents things that doesn’t work” is a trope for a reason, but that character is rarely someone that is admired

I absolutely do not have to admire that.

I’ve had Sirius for 7 years without ever paying for it. The came with a 6month sub and I never renewed, yet I still have it

I got O magazine for a whole year for some mysterious reasons. Not sure what mailing list from hell I got into to deserve that 

About 15 years ago I purchased a subscription to Entertainment Weekly as a surprise* gift for a friend of mine for Christmas. Since it’s through Amazon, it’s a pretty good rate and kind of a no-brainer to renew every year.

The trouble is, it’s such a no-brainer that we never discuss it, and thus I have no idea if she’s…

I somehow got Playboy for a whole year.  I wasn’t married yet, so I had no explaining to do, and my roommate wasn’t complaining, so it was all in all, a pretty good arrangement. 

I once paid for a 1yr subscription to 4WDToyotaOwner that ran for 5yrs.

Why did he need 3 different guitars for 15 minutes of “music”?

That lead picture sure looks like it should occupy a premier spot on the Wiki “douchebag” page. He looks like the kind of asshole who drinks in downtown Huntington Beach.
