AE86

I’ve said before, I hate the dinky plastic shift knobs that come on most cars.  Many of you agree with me, and replace your shift knobs with big fat plastic shift knobs…  I don’t really get it.  A gear lever should have a nice weight to it.  A shift knob should fall into gear with the slightest nudge, and have […]

Play the odds. I advise you to buy my car next time I list it for sale. I’m an emo guy with an often grim look at the future. Three months ago I might have sold you my AE86 for like $6500. If that had been the case, I would have gladly bought it back from you today for nine […]

Again. I have rad friends. After a day of watching drifting yesterday, Masaharu felt sorry enough for me that he has donated a car. Jealous? Masaharu is a baller. Probably the best driver of thirty yesterday. He balances the fact that his speed makes other drivers crash, by putting out fires and fixing other people’s cars and he’s so enthusiastic […]

This rivet trend is OK I guess.  I probably […]

All-Trac forums make me ashamed of my new car. I’d probably have better luck finding shift linkage part numbers, or rear strut dimensions for ST185H on an […]

The ST185 RC was, at one point, Toyota’s race car for the street.  But it’s a big fat pig compared to my AE86.  I’ve been spoiled.  The AE86 is HAAARRRD.  Sure it doesn’t have 250whp, but it’s a sinewy taunt, athletic machine.  I’m talking Bruce Lee V Andre the Giant.  Bruce will dance around Andre all night, and feel like […]
