VTEC was my first car love. EG Si Hatch, SOHC VTEC. 125 massive crank horsepower.

Sigh, to be young and naïvely in love again...

180 whp but what do those old Minis weigh? Like 1200 lbs? 1500?

FWD rocket...

My cat of 17 years-- and my best friend-- died today at home. I wrote a few words about him.

You had more style, class and character than some people I could name. I found you on the driveway in Mississippi when I was seven and you’ve been my best friend ever since. You were there for me in your own way through every difficult day of school since 4th grade. You were there through every relationship, breakup, move, and day of unappreciated work—you were always there—and I’m sorry if ever I’d taken you for granted. You’ve gotten me through more tough times than anyone else, but not having you here is the toughest time I’ve ever had to face. The house feels so empty without your presence and it’s heartbreaking to not have you next to me. You were the one thing I could count on no matter what my day was like—you always made it better. Even if it were just by your eagerness and joy to see me when I returned home. Our time together was short but I know thanks to you, that it’ll have been the best time of my life. To say that I miss you is the greatest understatement of my life—there is a fundamental part of myself that has gone empty today and it will never be whole again. I love you, Sylvester-- the greatest friend I’ve ever known.

Yes, and i believe they're been around since before the 60s in America.

1360 lbs from the factory... I'm thinking it'll be around 1500 with our setup. I'm sure we will get it corner balanced once its done...

sports would be cooler if players used drugs, and i dont mean making performance enhancers legal. i mean about an hour before every game each player had to take a random drug. uppers, downers, hallucinogenics, erectile dysfunction or blood pressure medication and so forth...thats the game i want to watch.

When I left, we had everything prepared, just in pieces. Subframes need to go in, then suspension, then we can get the engine/trans in, then steering and accessories, then wiring, then finish it up. Not to mention, there is still bondo work to be done, which will then lead to paint...

There's plenty left, and I really wished I did more during the summer....

Dude, my little brother goes to school with you now.

Remind me, why didn't you bring your epic Supra again? D: Call me a poser, but I love driving around with my red MR2, everyone looks at it and I feel cool. I even drop down to 1st gear to make some pathetic noise muted by the factory exhaust.

Because I have an FRS to daily!

And does your brother like cars? I'm on the executive board of the Illini Auto Club and I'll happily recruit him up! What's his name btw? Maybe he's already joined? W have a decent amount of new freshman....

Found out today OSAP won't give me my school loan anymore cause I purchased a new car.
So I unintentionally chose my brz over my education...

What did YOU give up for your toyatabru?

Maybe no one figures out that Clark Kent is Superman because no one's expecting him to just be walking around, dressed like a normal guy, so no one is paying enough attention to recognize him.

(This is probably a highly beat-to-death, irrelevent, nerd-rage inducing topic, but it is a legitimate random thought.)
