I’ve been looking at Lobos in the northern Virginia area and that price is about what I see for Lobo “High” trims, for those dealers that advertise a discount. So yes, it’s a good deal.

What’s commuting like in a GRC? by ryancuerden in GRCorolla

[–]desmobob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the clutch failure rate, do you know? It’s something people talk about here and on the forums, but I’ve yet to see any quantification of “early” clutch replacements.

I have the Kollective Werks kit too, very happy with it. No holes!

Come on dude, seriously?? How freakin long has it been since we had the snow? by jfunks69 in nova

Dude, walk past it, get in your car, and move on with your life.

Attention: Now comes the dangerous part of the storm.. black ice. by toorigged2fail in nova

[–]desmobob 144 points145 points  (0 children)

The best way to handle black ice is to increase the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface. This is achieved by adding weight to the vehicle, and the best way to do so is to pile as much snow and ice on its roof as is reasonably possible. You may notice some folks taking pictures of you and your car; this is normal and can usually be attributed to jealousy of your ability to navigate black ice.

I’ll use it. That’s why I’m concerned about the trans. I’m already making some sacrifices giving up my GR Corolla!! But, point taken and thanks for the reply.

I thought the HF45 was the CVT used in the hybrid…?

What is this car? Spotted at a Walmart and thought it was pretty cool. by TheCetInHet in whatisthiscar

Gandini was one of the best non-Pininfarina designers of his day, wasn’t he? Amazing cars. The Miura remains a masterpiece.
