  1. The inline 6 in these are insanely good. I dont get why Toyo fanboys didnt appreciate this engine. Its everything they ever wanted in a Supra. A relatively light inline 6 that makes great stock power but is tune-able and hotrod-able to make INSANE but reliable horsepower with ease. Im a big fan of both BMW and Toyota version's style. Long hood/short deck styling is spot on and both cars have a unique look to them. The BMW looks like an evolution of past Z4s and the newest generations were good looking cars. The 1st gen no so much but that was also 20 plus years ago. The Supra has an acquired taste look about it, but BECAUSE it looks like no other car on the road, past or present, I LOVE it. Especially in today's world full of shytty CUVs/SUVs and dull retro muscle cars. Yeah sure, I die on the Challenger Hellcat hill and I fight alongside my confreres Mustang and Camaro on that hill, one has to admit that the muscle car retro looks is waaaaaaay past the expiration date. And what @Drew Dowdell said. Fantastic drivers. Sporty and fun. Not much that is offered today could be said that is sporty and fun. Honda Civic Si and its Acura brother. Toyota Corolla GR. What else is there really?

  2. While him being good looking is a factor, this feels like a French Revolution type thing. Health Insurance companies are largely evil and people know it. They literally continued the meeting after the CEO got shot, that's how heartless they are.

  3. Agree, as I posted in the Random about the new Rivian Fast Charging station, range concerns are overblown imho. Most times when my wife drives down south or up north to deal with Family, if she forgets to charge at home, she will just do 80% as it is more than enough to get back home. She did one time just a charge to 50%, 9 min and then came home. The wife has gone from worrying about range anxiety to it is not an issue for her anymore. She drove the Escalade for the first time in a little over a year and found it so noisy and weird that it just did not move like her EV. Clearly will be an EV driver only.

  4. 18 minutes to 80% is pretty good. That would be what(?) 280 miles? That would be sufficient to go back home wherever home would be anywheres in the continental united states OF america, ummm...almost. obviuosly Im being sarcastic about the going home anywheres in the us with a gasoline tank of 280 miles. But I AM being serious in saying that 18 minutes for 280 miles is not detrimental for anybody wanting to buy an EV and using said EV for road trips. Even if that means traveling from the mid-west to death valley... Im sure right now in trump's/maga's vision of utopia where charging stations for EVs are wanting to be limited and existing charging stations to be exterminated. (dramatic statements all around for sure...but just doing it to prove a point that range anxiety was a hoax as far back as even 6 years ago...)

  5. 18 minutes to 80% and 35 total minutes to get the 100%, we were in a Walmart doing shopping, so the extra time did not bother us, that last 20% is the longest time to get charged.

  6. Road trip over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, had to do a single charge up at a ChargePoint station, went from 10% to 100% battery charge for $29.02 giving me a range of almost 320 miles. Overall was pretty cheap I felt for fueling. Self-driving continues to impress me, with the smart driving assist, it was pretty cool to just tap the turn signal, and the car does the rest for changing lanes. Continue to be impressed with Kia Software. Currently at 28,081 miles for 5 months shy of 2 years ownership.

  7. I've spent more time in the Supra than the Z4, but they are fantastic driving vehicles. The Supra is faster than the 86 obviously, but in both cases, they are like slipping on a perfect fitting running shoe that feels like part of your body more than a vehicle.

  9. My Bitch of the day, trucks like this need to be impounded for being illegal. The tires outside the wheel well, no mud flaps and way too high to be safe to other autos on the road. Sadly due to most states having this as such a low penalty, police ignore it when they should not as those tires especially during fall / winter throw so many rocks and other debris that it can crack and cause all kinds of problems for drivers. On top of this, I have seen these truck owners replace the fog lights with normal driving LED lights to light the road since the normal headlights are too high now and then they end up blinding people. Totally agree with this article, I do not think the modern small turbo motors will last the way V8 and V6 engines have in the past. Yes, I know not all V6 and V8s have lasted, but I feel the points in this article are pretty spot on. Downsized, Efficient, But Fragile — Why Today’s Engines May Not Last - Autoblog

  11. I betchoo that most of Luigi's supporters cheering him on were females. The guy is a very well dressed and groomed individual. He is also kinda good looking too. Some girls like that kinda thing in a guy. Plus the whole murder thing and he is the bad boy some of them crave to tame. (maybe...what the hell do I know???!!!) Well...he does know what looks good on him at least. Knows what works for him. If nothing else, he does not dress like a slob and look like a bum. Better to look good than to feel good, I guess. Which brings up his mental well being... Perhaps, a loved one may have gotten their insurance claim denied, or their policy terminated and he vowed revenge on the next insurance CEO suit he observed... "Let them eat cake" kinda thing and with a "off with her head" result. Im indifferent to murders like this one. People gonna snap when injustices are prevalent. People revolt... Maybe this CEO was a sweet man and his insurance company he represented and worked for accomplished the tasks of angels. Or maybe not. All I know is that human beings are supposed to have 2 eyebrows...

  12. Well...I do not know about all that... Its easy for me to hate on ANYTHING american right now. As you guys know... But I will give praise where praise is due. u.s. airliners are amongst the safest of all airliners in the world. Maybe not THE safest but BECAUSE the FAA and the NTSB are quite strict and those entities are BASED in the us, american based airliners COMPLY. And to be fair, the AMOUNT of americans flying for coast to coast daily, INCLUDING ALL the professional sports teams that fly coast to coast, there isnt ANY incidents. This year was an anomaly. Quite a few of them incidents did happen. Most of that had to do with trump firing air traffic controllers and the like all in the name of musk's doge bullshyte. Delta had a couple of questionable incidents and I get it... But all in all, the airplane industry in the u.s.(except for maybe Boeing the last 15 years and doge) is the ONE industry where money does NOT come before safety and human lives...
