Professional hole installer.

While he still races at times, he’s more of an entertainer than top tier racing driver it seems. It’s worked out pretty well for him. While people who aren’t interested in WRC or Rally America have no idea who Ogier or Higgins are, just about every bro who has ever chugged a Monster knows who Ken Block is.

Not sure if Kinja’d.

I fully expect the One Night at Freddy’s game line to be resurrected as One Night at Gritty’s.

It bugs me that this title got the song stuck in my head before I knew that the section was about the song.

But the Supra was the orange one with decals, yo!

Ha, they were (are) rare. I wonder how many of the stand-ins for the main Supra were actually turbo Supras. A shop near where I grew up worked on one of the bit-part cars, and the FMIC wasn’t even connected to the engine. Just bolted into the bumper.

I would argue that the popularity (and price) of the MKIV didn’t explode in the US until after The Fast and the Furious came out, which was a targa. I was considering one and watched as the price of a decent Turbo went from around $30,000 to $60,000, with some examples going for much more than that. Maybe I’m thinking…

Those are your personal opinions, not facts. They may even be opinions others share. Still not facts. Discounting two years of a car being sold because you don’t like the targa top is just bending facts. There was a turbo Supra for sale in the US in 1997 and 1998 with a manual.

Perhaps for you, personally, or in the interest of high power builds, but not in general. The targa outsold the steel roof by a wide margin.

So wait, you’re differentiating with and without targa to say it was only 3 years? It was still a turbo supra with a manual. 

It was only 1996 where there were no manuals in the US turbo Supra. I remember reading that it was due to new emissions requirements, but can’t be bothered to spot check that. Both 1997 and 1998 turbos could be had with a manual, and were about $10,000 less expensive in an attempt to boost sales. It didn’t really work.

*giggling intensifies*

Maybe it will look different when not a pieced together rendering, but that seems incredibly bland to me.

I feel like REXicide is the name of an Evo forum somewhere.

You’re not wrong, but my display name is ScoobsMcGee. Picking on someone else for badge whoring would be all sorts of glass housing.

Nah. We give David a lot of shit, but the guy was (is) an engineer. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the people working the shows from manufacturers are more excited to talk to him than others.

It’s beautiful.

There’s a part of me that hopes he comes home with a Mercedes.
