The strut mounts were notorious for failing on early models, but I think that was sorted by 2018. That being said, they can still wear out.

The bummer is, the job to replace the strut mount is...

I think the gen 2 looks much better in person than any pictures show. I do still prefer the curves of the gen 1, but it's not as dramatic to me irl.

I also agree that I think I liked the green of...

Those would all be pretty unfortunate changes to the MR2 DNA.

Meanwhile, I still think the Celica is a perfect opportunity for a PHEV. A variant of the GR Yaris/Corolla powertrain with 25-30...

Gorgeous. This will get me to move on from my first gen. Now to see how much of an extortion the dealers will tack on.

Are there even any active mods on the site any more? I tried the "contact us" link, volunteering to help but haven't heard back.

I had a Wolo Bad Boy (https://www.amazon.com/Wolo-419-Bad-Boy-Horn/dp/B000F5DQWY) on my old Echo and it definitely upped the awareness factor. Simple plug and play. I haven't ever bothered looking...

Can't speak for the CRV, but in the RAV4 if you hit the start/stop button again, it will shut the car off (or into accessory mode) but tell you to put it in park. Just try it when you are pulled off...

It is pretty unique in this day and age; there are fewer and fewer (and many of those are "older" models) so it's nice to see a new car with one.



This is my complaint. As a fan of the...

I mean - the Charger may have started life as a "mid-size" on the B Body, but that's still big by modern standards. The (arguably most famous) 2nd gen was 208" long, so this new one is still smaller...

I know it sounds crazy but thought I'd ask - did the protective plastic get removed from the pedals? (though after 60k miles, I'd think it'd worn off regardless).

The strut mounts were known weaknesses of the OEM suspension, so if they've never been replaced, they'd likely be bad by now even with everything else stock.

Agreed - that's the best option. Until someone does the Gen 2, I'm not sure how it will work irl though. The curves might throw it off.
