Awesome. Sounds amazing.

I'm assuming this won't come with a conventional manual transmission. Seems to be the norm for high-end sports cars like the GT-R to have those damned paddle-shifting setups instead. Kills the fun. More efficient doesn't mean more fun.

MSRP: $220,000-$400,000

165 allocated for Japan domestic market, 335 for the rest of the world. In Japan, Toyota is mentioning buyer's 'qualification'. It sounds like beyond enough money and driver's license - maybe a race experience or...?

Something like what Ferrari does with their order process? (I'm going by word of mouth)

Takes a while to load. Configure yer own exterior and interior.

Also out of Toyota, the FT-86:

Subaru/Toyota project. Kinda sorta based on the AE86 generation Corolla, except with a Boxer engine, IRS, and whatnot.

DOOD

Picture time



This one makes as much sense as Eric D:

Ceramics gets a little boring sometimes. You can always think of the San Gabriels.

Did you make that?

Yes. That is my interpretation of what the LA basin will look like when we all get infected with the CraZies virus and the government has to nuke it.

Whaaaaa?

And I will be the first to drive, errr, walk my car to the top of Baldy.



Now if I could just find crampons, I will be the first in winter as well.

Fucking stewpid!

Argh.

We're going the same way as the UK.

Do you use a water filter?

The OFFICIAL song of the Ice Pirates.


We can have multiple official songs, mind you.

While you guys are waiting for the storms here's a good movie I just watched the other day -- The Hurt Locker.

I gotta see that. One of my buddies from the Army went EOD and had a tough day in Afghanistan.

Ok -- how about this one?

These guys have a hell of a job man -- gut wrenching! How's you buddy now? Where did you serve?

Good ol' sunny (read: shitty) Fort Benning.

From what he told me, he was disarming an IED on a road in Afghanistan when he uncovered an anti-handling device* (some Russian Claymore-type AP device) blew up. He remembers that, and then being in a hospital in CONUS.


*Anti Handling devices are something you place near a mine to keep someone from messing with it. Think of placing an anti-personel mine under an anti-tank mine.

Sounds horrible -- I hope he's OK now?

Yessir, he's all good now, last I spoke with him.

Hell yeah.

This is how the do demolition in Turkey!

Too bad that approach is so long! What a cool route. Lucky bastards.

Very cool. Looked a little sketchy topping out inside that bush/tree. I am gonna have to learn to ice climb someday.

If my French is correct, I think they were complaining about the length of the approach.
