I suppose they're pretty good at flying under the proverbial radar (particulairly the third gen - I can't distinguish the performance model from the others). I like the third and fifth generation Maximas well enough, although that's most of the impression they made on me.

I can cook stuff in the sense that I can make sure I don't get food poisoning.

But switching from a carb to EFI is harder than the other way around. With EFI, you've got to set up the electronics and everything, make sure all the proper computers are in the car, and working together. But, if you're willing to go to the work of getting an older car to run on EFI, why not go for...

I saw a convoy of roughly ten Vipers on the highway once.

While I was driving around for work tonight, I saw a Countach and a Delorean (with the license plate "TIME MACN" or something like that).

Given that a stock LS400 only made 250-290hp from the factory (something that's easily available from a 350), there's no point, unless you want to go for the novelty factor. As far as I know, they're reliable engines (it's rare for a modern Toyota product to be unreliable, isn't it?), but I'd also i...

I'm just saying since it's not a production M3, they might not put the side gills on, to hide that it is an M3, but the production M3 will have them. Or, maybe it's just not going to have the side gill things. Only the current M5 and the outgoing M3 had them (I suppose the old M roadster and coupe d...

Lol I just visited the US toyota site cause I didn't know they had the Yaris there, normally they only had the Echo (or was that Canada only) (and called Vitz in Japan) But it seems the name Yaris flew over the Atlantic also. No, the US got the Echo, but only the sedan, while Canada got the hatchba...

It's interesting looking, I like the back end. Still, so far, the 5-series is the only Bangle-designed BMW that I prefer over it's predecessor.

Are you sure that's real car? It looks like a Rolls, Citroën and Jaguar molded together. Even the two headlights are different... Ahem... Alright, another hint - it's based on a '74 VW station wagon, but it borrows parts from several cars built between '73 and '75 (I suppose the real challenge wou...

Or Vaughan, Ontario, I forget.
I think it's techincally located in Maple, but it's near the Vaughn border. Etobicoke is right on Lake Ontario.

I think it was a little better than that. There's no question it was nothing more than a summer blockbuster, but it was rather well done, and probably about as good as the first. Plus, Phillip Seymore Hoffman played a bad guy really well.
