Kei cars are federally regulated to fit within specific length/width/height dimensions, so most of them are approximately the same size. To put that size in perspective with something us Americans see every day...

My project has 14’s, and those were the biggest you could get from the factory.

Remember when cars had little wheels like this? Yeah, you remember.

What’s he doing, taking a leak?

I remember this one time many years ago when my parents and I took a taxi to the airport. The cab showed up on time, the cabbie was polite and cleanly dressed, the car was clean and well-maintained, and he got us there promptly while driving safely.

Gotham Air offers a helicopter taxi service from Manhattan to either JFK or Newark airport.

Apparently in Houston you can hire a Hummer taxi. Great for when PT Cruisers get in your way.

RHD by itself shouldn’t cause a problem with PA inspection. We sell several RHD Jeep Wranglers per year and nobody’s ever had any issue inspecting them.

Men are perfectly capable of installing curtains and coffee tables in cars.

The Festiva SHOgun. We’ve heard so much about them over the years that they don’t seem that crazy anymore... but back in the day, it must’ve sounded pretty crazy to say “You know that tiny little Korean econobox Ford is selling? I’m going to chop out the entire rear floor pan of it, fabricate a custom subframe, and

Caroline Racing’s quad-turbo 2JZ Silvia.

I’ll say the same thing I said about it on Oppo yesterday...

Did not know that. I also have heard the front clips are popular for installing on Chevy trucks.

Right, but they’re still a Chevy plus lots of electronics. The last Escalade I took on trade was a 2003 with about 90k. It ran like a top, everything functionally related to driving the car was in excellent operating condition. However...

Digging further, fully loaded new in 1999 would’ve been about $50k. Adjusted for inflation to 2014 dollars that’s about $72,000. $72,000 to $2677 is about 96% depreciation, so still pretty horrendous.

Cadillac Escalade. A loaded 2015 Escalade (not ESV) stickers out at approximately $95,000. The cheapest used Escalade I could find that didn’t have obvious major problems listed was $2677. It’s a 1999 model as that’s the first year the Escalade was being made. $95,000 to $2677 in 16 years is about 97% depreciation.

Would’ve been a ditch in this case.

Jebus. WTF was this guy thinking? I don’t even know how to fly and I know if parts of the plane that aren’t supposed to hit the ground have already made contact and you’re able to make a (relatively) safe landing, just put the damn thing down. Taking off again is just suicide... what if the props were too badly
