“And these are the cars that will be replaced by hybrid and electric ones... “Entertainment” cars tend to still be out of this group.”

I’ve been commuting in LA traffic for thirteen years. At a couple points I tried automatics (Jaguar XK8, Mustang GT) but in the end, being able to have fun in the canyons on weekends far outweighed the slight convenience of resting my left leg in traffic. So now my daily is a six-Speed manual hybrid shod with Potenza…

Rotiform CHD-t

It is. Matte silver and matte purple.

Thanks! The wheels are Rotiform CHD-t in 17x9.5 -20, and the chin spoiler is an MSA BRE-style.

Well, the AE86 needs love sometimes too.

Not enough perforation. My Z spent its whole life in SoCal, and even then, the rear hatch was too far gone to save.

Thank you for this awesome article. I feel like I should go drive my Z this weekend now.

Who would ever replace a Justy?!?!

That site transitioned seamlessly from my dreams to nightmares.

Fun fact: Base model CRZ w/ Manual is 91lbs lighter than a Base model Civic 1.5.

I feel like these could go well with a cappuccino.

Just one quick example of a drifter who went on to become a successful racer... “In 2001 Nobuteru Taniguchi became the very first D1GP champion, and since then he has earned the title of Super GT300 champion as well as competing in Time Attack and endurance racing all over the world.”

Let’s not forget Keiichi Tsuchiya himself.

I’m fine just being stuck in drifting c.2002. I’ll be the one in the 112hp AE86 or 205hp S13.

Aw11 Mark-1b threw me for a second. Usually people just say kouki AW11.

The things I would do for a Daihatsu Move Aerodown Custom shirt....

Purple works well for S30's too.

It looks way better in person (and in darker colors). I saw a black one on the way to work yesterday (I live near Honda’s North American headquarters) and it actually looked pretty cool. The aero doesn’t seem any more noticeable than an STI’s when you see it on the street.

Let’s not forget Infiniti and their single offering; the Q.
