The Perp's discussions

Imagine the range it could have if it only had one screen.

Yes! Well aware of the Previa and TownAce/MasterAce/Toyota Van.

Mid-engined pickup truck!  Don’t you have a diagram somewhere that you need to update based on this configuration?

Also, why no window at least in the back door? That seems like an obvious oversight.

I love this build, but I have to question the authenticity. As the photos clearly show, the speedometer is not melted.  Still, I give it a 10/10.

Her first baby come out sideways. She didn’t scream or nuthin’.

Can’t believe they left out the Mess Around clip immediately preceding the cigarette being flicked out the window and into the back seat.  This movie is full of great moments, and this is one of them.

If it makes you feel better, the air filter probably filters the air better the longer you have it in there as it traps more particulate (at the expense of airflow).

That’s one of the major drawbacks of the I-Beam suspension-massive camber changes as the wheels cycle through the range of travel (they travel in an arc). They’re essentially swing axles that are pivoting on the far side of the center of the vehicle.

Those look very similar to the 4 piston brakes on my ‘97 T 100. Close enough that I thought they might be the same part. I checked-different part number for the caliper and different pads as well.

You made it much further than I did.  The movies didn’t appeal to me in the slightest-I’ve never seen any of them.

2JZ with NAS!

Why is all the ventilation covered up? Do they just end up blowing sand and dust out?

Pizza Combos are the best.  Might be my favorite snack food.

Whatever it is, keep it relatively small. There are very narrow roads on the island, and parking is difficult everywhere-you don’t want to be parking a large vehicle. Also, the highest posted speed limit on the island is 55 mph,but that’s on like one short stretch of one road, so a fast car doesn’t really make any… Read more

I like that they spelled it Cro$$road.

They’ve been making the rounds talking about their new book. Mike D and Ad Rock were on NPR and Jimmy Fallon last week.

Word to your mother. The cleverness and creativity of design and engineering decisions in small cars and people’s cars is typically much more fascinating to me.
