Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
GR86 is supposed to be here by the end of May. :popcorn: I told the :dillerman: I'd take Trueno or Neptune, I got Trueno. Pretty okay with that. https://www.gr86.org/cdn-cgi/image/format=auto,onerror=redirect,width=1920,height=1920,fit=scale-down/https://www.gr86.org/attachments/20220305_112425-jpg...

Work schedules?
I'm at the dealership at 730a daily and depending on the day am done at either 5p or 6p. I typically have 2 6p closing shifts a week, and my "early" days run to about 530 on average.
I work one Saturday every 3 weeks from 9-4 but do get a decent chunk of cash to do it.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Not here
I’m not sure if they’re going to sell far outside of their PMA but reach out and I can probably get one at MSRP for those willing to get in line behind me. Same with the GR86.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
The argument that the GR Corolla is AWD has me contemplating it for the actual daily I need to get at the end of the year.
I’m first on the list again for one and we’ll see what happens
GR all the things.

Just about every Toyota hybrid I've ever seen gets a solid 10% increase in fuel economy in warmer weather. It'll only get better. For the 3 months it's warm in the Great White North

Dem bicicletas dos, doe.
I took apart my busted Orbea this weekend and tried to build back the frame they sent me. Turns out it’s different in several ways. The headset doesn’t fit the new frame, derailleur hanger is different, it’s built for thru axles, etc. I think I’m just going to throw all the components on eBay and s...

Gberg's Alpo Gorf with a bit of Plac Profit
Wow that seems completely excessive for that sort of damage … Also I had some paint work on the mini because of the deer incident… I’m incredibly anal about it to be honest and I had them redo part of the door because I saw fish eyes. That said … once it was done it is a perfect match and I can’t t...

1300 miles down. My car has developed a horrendous glove box rattle. I need to shim out the lid or something. I’ve had to resort to driving with the glove box open or wedging something in place for now. Fuel economy seems to be in the mid 20’s with some spirited driving and a 80mph highway commute. ...

February allocation came and went and my order went unfilled. Now we wait until March. Unsurprising, but :sad:. Subaru shut down production in Gunma twice so far in February so you’re probably not going to see anything until the 2nd March allocation cycle at best (Toyota does 2 allocations a month,...

Exhaust installed.
Deep, mellow and a little punch. Zero cabin drone and looks great. Just what I was looking for.
I’ll grab a couple videos as it breaks in.

IF I need one, i'll get this. Most likely will just end up in the Jeep for ride days.

If you look closely, the left tip sits about an inch or so lower than the right tip, you can see it in the thumbnail for the video.

When I bought my 15 GTI, it was almost $31 grand on msrp, now the base price is $29k, back then it started at $24k :sad: My 2011 :mk6: was $28500 OTD. When I bought my Mk7 Sport, it was marked down from $30 to $22.5… there was $5k in manufacturer to dealer incentives on top of a big discount on the...

There isn’t, unfortunately. May end up with the CSG/MXP exhaust which is a sub 90db cat back for a bit less scratch. Boo. FWIW (nothing) my favorite cat-back so far from sound clips has been the Perrin. Perrin are only making 3” exhausts for now, which are loud. I leave for work at 6am daily. I don...

The first gen headers are generally catless. The 2nd gen header is much improved. HKS has a sport muffler that keeps all of the resonators and sounds ideal. I’m not looking for noise… just tone. https://youtu.be/yM3U1mfZhCU :notbad: Although I don't love the blue tips with Neptune. Would look good ...

Average nearly $750 over MSRP for a new car. Hyundai nearly $1900 - and more than Porsche.
