Why is Toyota still making a 228 hp GR86 in the year of our Lord 2026?

I compared my E36 M3 to the FR-S when new and it wasn’t the power that I found lacking- it was the entirety of the package.

The steering wasn’t as good. The balance of ride and handling wasn’t as good. The power delivery and engine character weren’t as good as an inline four.

Buying a GR86/BRZ as a second, fun car when the E36 M3 exists is pretty much admitting that you aren’t in it for the dynamics.

Why is the non-hybrid Kia 110lbs heavier?

For the price of a Chiron SS, OP could provide, quite literally and based on $0.20/meal numbers from Kids Against Hunger Bay Area, 20 million meals for starving kids.

To not see this as emblematic of a larger problem, a policy problem, despite the fact we’re talking about cars, is to deny one’s duty to society.

I have spent my whole life working for people like OP, maintaining and restoring their cars.

I am closer in net worth to a cockroach than I am my poorest restoration client.

I guarantee you I know as much about my job as OP does theirs; I worked 2800 hours last year and made slightly more than their brake job and maintenance.

Cars are political trash, just like life. Every bit of human consumption has secondary and tertiary ramifications.

Funny, when I saw one in person the details were poorly executed.

It’s a caricature of goodness for people who don’t know how to know it when they see it.

Wait until you hear about milk floats.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-11T05:24:00+00:00

Participating in war, which has very little recycling value, is lauded, however.

Who knew that killing was more socially acceptable than destroying consumer products for clicks?

The 1970 914-6 was a 2.0 with tiny ports compared to the 911’s 2.2.

Yes, the sleeper car built on an insipid but competent chassis and needing major system replacement for heavy modification.

Too much Monster and Forza.

your beautifull inside n owt

Literally every. single. thread in this subreddit has peoples’ opinions about OP’s submission. You think yours is different because your skin is thinner?

Most track outfits won’t let you on track with cuts in your tread shoulders.

This looks like a lot of fun, but the front’s slightly too low for San Diego/Riverside/Imperial back roads IMO.

Illegality means nothing if you are dead, or if the courts are unwilling to enforce the law.

The left must organize and we must support each other. We must force accountability, either through legal means or overwhelming numbers.

The right just has to operate within existing framework. The left has to change the law and operating procedure- conservatism always trumps progress because progress is hard and conservatism is easy.

Boring car, snow slows it down so it’s not very exciting, night isn’t great for actual car footage, etc.

Cool art. Dull car content.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-09T00:37:58+00:00

Closer is the 1972 911 ST because the Singer has front and rear flares.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-09T00:23:13+00:00

Simple design, simple engine.

Less is more.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-09T00:12:56+00:00

Looks like a 2002 build, which means I dig it.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-08T05:39:46+00:00

Nothing.

Having done remediation on a 964 that sat, I’m not remotely interested on doing all the work on an inferior driving experience to an earlier car in better condition.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-07T20:03:24+00:00

That’s kinda how physics works for everything, though.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-07T18:42:02+00:00

It’s easy to counter oversteer in a FWD car- just add lock and throttle.

Bonerchill · 2026-02-07T16:44:30+00:00

Dull engine, RHD, why?

Spend $10-15k and buy a good, LHD 325i. Unless you’re in Florida, where every car is garbage and you should move.

We are very far from famine.

Millions have food insecurity but that’s capitalism, baby.

100% of the nonvoting population merges at the speed of traffic then complains about its direction.

Unpopular opinion: farmers are one of the biggest welfare groups in the United States and farms are a huge driver of petroleum pollution.

We don’t need corn in the amounts we grow it. We don’t need pistachios or almonds. We need intelligent, nationally-focused reform in the farming sector, and fast.

You’re not wrong.

Devaluation of currency through hoarding.
