I imagine if it had a truck bed topper that started a the point and went straight back, it would look significantly better. Read more

Is the penis license plate a factory option, or do I have to get that from the DMV? Read more

Yeah, I have a thing for putting small engines into smaller vehicles. Read more

You can use a vacuum pump for your normal brake booster. Tesla did it in the early Model S cars. There are also lots of 12v power assist steering racks, and some higher voltage ones too.  Read more

Honestly surprised this is not yet a thing. Read more

I totally noticed this yesterday after I started looking at them on Craigslist. It basically doesn’t matter the year, mileage, or condition. They’re all around $2800. Read more

Agreed, although I 250 swapped my Grom and it’s pretty great now. Handles the highway just fine, though the front end is not terribly confidence inspiring at speed. Need to get a steering damper. Maybe a TW200 with a DRZ400 swap is the dual sport ticket? :) Read more

Supras everywhere and RTTs everywhere, but no RTT on a Supra! Read more

I was a casual fan until I saw my University’s Formula SAE car and thought it was amazing that I could help engineer, build, and drive an open wheel race car as part of my schooling. It didn’t cost me anything, except all my free time and a mediocre GPA. But it was a lot of fun, a lot of knowledge gained, and the
