EVs are running out of buyers, piling up on lots, and dealers are refusing allocations. This is what happens when cars are built for eco-nazi politicians/regulators, instead of the people that buy...

Searched this today, and found a comment that said 1025 Hakone cars were built. Can anyone confirm this? If true, I wonder how many were MTs...mine is #837.

What's not adding up is a typo. Thanks for pointing that out. :) How would one go about requesting a title be edited, since I can't see a way do it myself? Title should read "17x8", not "18x8".

Killer deal on a fresh set of high performance wheels/tires. Just pulled these off my 2020 Toyobaru 86. They have ~3000 miles on them (looks like less), with zero track time. The PS4s were the 1st...

GR86 Lug Pattern Remains the Same
