Looks more like a pickup truck.

"Sports car"

Hah, good find!

That's just about the perfect proportions. It even has 5-spoke wheels too.

I'm starting to rethink using the BRZ as a winter car.

I didn't get a photo but the snow was above the bumper and doors. I forgot to put a shovel in the trunk this year and using a snow brush to clear a way out of the parking spot wasn't fun.

Who am I kidding, I was still able to keep up with most SUV's... just side ways.

I left work at 4. Still made it the 40 km trip home somehow (and I have the eibach pro-kit). Snow so deep it was going over the hood and hitting my windshield at times - getting home felt like a miracle! Thank you Hakkapeliitta. Definitely don't want to try that again though.

Reminds me of one of my favorite "close encounters" with a modded vehicle.

I was with a group of riding buddies on a weekend excursion in the Kentucky mountains camping/ATV riding. One day on the trail we here this "sound" coming towards us. Around the bend comes a "slightly" modified Suzuki Samuri. It was jacked up on huge tires and had an obvious engine replacement. The guys driving stopped and we got the details.

It had a Cummins diesel engine out of a school bus stuffed under and through the hood and was riding on the tires off the bus!

Turns out, this isn't that rare of a thing.

The little Suzukis are great off road vehicles...good approach/departure angles, and a short wheelbase gets it into places a lot of other 4X4s can't go. Simple, light weight, nimble, good on fuel, and fun to drive. A little short on power, but that helps you be a better driver.

That sounded eerily familiar...

A guy came in to us this past week - he had an ATV accident and lost motor function & had bitemporal vision loss. Be careful, and wear a helmet lol

2 months before I can bring out the beast. OMG can't wait. Tired of staring at it.

Grew a Lexus badge. I suggested, she said no. The IS has been a great buy!

Looks good Slick, glad to see that the rendering (Sketch-Up?) included an FT86.

So have you folks received an email to "See Scion's exciting new line-up at the Ottawa-Gatineau Auto Show"? Yeah, better see 'em quick before Scion disappears!
