You’d just have to make the system put the phone into car mode. It’d function like android auto but your phone would be the screen. Read more

Yea, it's just the displays get dated really quick. Everyone gets new phones so you'd think the manufacturer would save some $$$ on a screen and figure it out.
Loved the DIN/DDIN stuff, my '99 F-150 has an awesome android auto setup due to that. It was truly genius.
When you race a fox body your hands are never clean
One thing I absolutely would buy into on a modern truck is some sort of clever built-in universal phone mount with bluetooth. You just stick your phone onto the dash and use it as the screen, play the audio through the speakers. I don’t even want a radio. Read more
I meant go full eco, like some truly narrow “eco” branded tires, the type that are designed for fuel economy in particular. Think 215 section eco tires in a reasonable height like 26-28in. You’d have to recalibrate the speedo, but I think that could be done with some determination.

Get a friend with a welder and some fabrication skills. Floors are temporary, racing is forever.
People are paying $6k over MSRP for Kias right now.
Yea but would anyone actually buy them? Probably not, gotta have a HUGE VEHICLE!!!
Yea, the 370Z was an old car in 2014. It’s ancient now...when it was launched the iPhone 1 was new, the only Tesla was the roadster and they were still a private company, chevy was still 5 years away from launching the C7 (!), and Obama had just become president. Read more
Also....the performance pack alone makes these $51k, all the dealers will stock performance pack versions to maximize profits. Add a couple more options on top of the performance pack...you’re at $53k really quick.
Yep, those thinking this is a “bargain” are in for a rude awakening when they actually start shopping. Read more
Just go shop for anything new and cool. GR Corolla, GR86, C8 Vette, Supra, etc. They’re all selling over MSRP, and you can’t find base versions.
I hope you’re right, but I’d take the bet against that. Read more
