WHOHOOO!! PH-1!

warm it up, make that motor sing, drive it hard, replace what wears out, and have fun!

if you're worried about breaking things, you can never truly have fun...

Just warm it up nice and trust the friendly engineers at Aisin. They're super good at what they do.

Commence trolling. Fire for effect.

Welp, some thought that shifting a MT was too complex and required too much effort.

So, we made the transmission simpler and easier to shift.

Then we made that "simpler and easier to shift" transmission more complex again.

I'm beginning to think it's a sliding scale.

Ya, and let me guess which way it's sliding -

Sliding seems to gradual. Plummeting, or free falling seem to fit better
