I went to Scion's website and used their "Live Chat" to communicate my interest in the stuff Speedhunters photographed. Basically just showed them the speedhunter coverage and said "You must bring these fantastic parts to the US market. I must have them."

Post your 86 or see others in front of a(n) (in)famous landmark.
What fits in your 86? Show us the "Junk In Your Trunk".

You'd have to watch the latest Top Gear episode. It was a joke about how they "never broke the speed limit".

From my trip to the Detroit area in December. Highlight of the Henry Ford Museum. (I was heartbroken there was no GT40 LeMans winners...)
