Or are they complaining that they're putting a bmw motor in a toyota? No one wants a toyota with an 80k mi cooling system and no dipstick.

No one wants a toyota with an 80k mi cooling system and no dipstick. to be honest I doubt any of the characters I've seen going "U SHULD OF PUT A 2J IN IT" are remotely familiar with the shortcomings of GDCS's. It's not like they're criticising Toyota for failing to If Toyota decided to do this on their own, they'd probably have droped in a tuned 2GR-FSE, which would probably get close to the 250kw power figure of the BMW powertrain and also be boring as poo poo to drive. I feel like this is the only way Toyota were able to give people what they were asking for, without blowing millions of dollars on R&D for a one-off engine.

CAT INTERCEPTOR posted:Nah the second is indeed nearly as good as the first and if anything the visuals and world building are far better. The second does have two things wrong tho the first doesnt - I like to watch the John Wick series as if it is an alternate Matrix universe where Neo stayed in the system, a little bit older but still shredding enemies Lobby-style without the whole Wachowski plotline stupidity. He just wants to eat his steak. Ignorance is bliss.

keykey posted:I need to get on watching that series. Was it written in a way that the first was a complete movie and after they found out it was bankable they decided to trilogy it and that's where the 2nd falls short? Eh, not really. It was a complete story in the way that any story where you don't kill off the entire cast at the end or blow up the universe is ever 'complete'. The way they tease the whole underworld thing is great and that was definitely something I was interested in seeing more of, trying to understand how it all works etc and that was basically the second film... The first is a really lean story, it only has the absolute basic of motivations and that just means it gets on with things and is pretty much just a 90 minute orgy of ruthlessly efficient murder which you're totally on board with... They wrote it, filmed it, edited and were then surprised it was actually a great movie which was so well received.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Huh that's weird, all the reviews i was reading were saying to get a rice cooker and pass on the insta pot if you cook lots of rice. Maybe they were doing it wrong by pressing the RICE button? Lol. Just did rice in my instant pot for the first time last night. I needed a bit more water, but it came out great. 100% happy with it. Also took like 10 minutes tops.for a huge pot of rice. A+ would recommend.

It will be interesting to see how many actually sell (or if anybody notices) since most people don't actually know how to drive anymore, but I suspect that when the hype settles most of them will rot on the showroom floor Toyota will say "huh, guess people don't want sports cars anymore" and go back to cranking out Camrys and SUVs.

Poland verdict: it's a cool place. The Fiat 500 I rented proved barely powerful enough for the road from Warsaw to Gdansk and just barely big enough for two guys + tools, but it worked okay. We went to the WWII museum as well, which focused largely on how the Polish people got kicked in the teeth over and over again. It was a bummer, but really powerfully displayed. I dropped my colleague off at the airport and visited Sopot as well; just took some pictures on the beach and pier. Drove back to Warsaw stupid-early because I had to catch a 9:00 flight to Hamburg, and it snowed the whole way. I'm in Hamburg now visiting my colleague at the company he works for. I rented a Skoda Rapide, and I'm really pleased with it! Much nicer than the Fiat. Hamburg got a light dusting of snow last night, so it felt extra German today. I'm proud of myself for negotiating a haircut, including chit-chat with the barber, almost entirely in German! Tomorrow: Spain.

Humphreys posted:That was a great episode! The previews of the season show some amzing things to come. Yeah I loved it! You forget how good an automotive show can be when there is no budget limit in sight. The artistic directing and editing are worthy of a full length feature film. The rest of the season is going to be wild. Spoilers for episode specific details: I really loved how they played on the Marvel intro scene for the cuts between the Detroit clips. I don't think I realized how much of a mess Detroit is. It is like an UrbEx paradise. So much history and industry just left their slowly being reclaimed by the earth is wild to see. I would nearly have thought some of those shots were from Pripyat, not anywhere in the US. Also   at the Hiroshima joke.Rhyno posted:I need an Instapot. I am still getting used to domesticated Rhyno posts. Getting excited about instapots and paint over Escorts and Lightnings with rad graphics? These are strange times.

Glad I saw Adiabatic's post over in Horrible Will chat. Posting here instead:sharkytm posted:If you've got anything of real value, set up a loving revocable living trust. My mom just did this when she moved up here to MA. When she dies, everything transfers to me. No probate, no 6+ months of waiting, no fees, no BS. It just transfers. This. My wife completed her Paralegal degree in 2017, and if nothing else, she got that out of it. My mother-in-law has had to act as executor for her brother, her husband, and her mother-in-law, and that convinced her to set up a trust herself, so that we don't have to go through all that crap. We need to do the same. PainterofCrap posted:I had to deal with my father's hosed-up will and my evil stepmother after my two sisters bailed on executor duties. Was in probate fighting it for three years. I just saw a web service called Cake that's supposed to let you do wills and such online, but more importantly, organize and specify what is to happen with your digital assets/life. I've set myself a reminder to check out how/if it works. quote:I'm following my mom's lead (as is my wife) and am donating my mortal remains (assuming they're intact; otherwise it's cremation) to a teaching university hospital. They always need cadavers, etc. It takes a couple hours to set up with the university, and they will pick up after the paperwork is done, and in most cases the whole process costs less than $500. Now that's a though. Put this bag of organs to good use - I don't need it any more. cakesmith handyman posted:I missed will/end of life chat but you guys are registered as organ donors aren't you? Pretty sure I am. Let me check my driver's license. Yep. That reminds me, I need to get the prescription lenses restriction removed from my license now.

Will Chat: Even with all the will and legal stuff in the world, it can't save you from a hosed up family member if the person that's passed/ing away is elderly and isn't lucid but appears as such. My wife's grandma just got super hosed a year and a half ago by her brother after taking advantage of their mom via being named executor of the will and other horseshit.

Being named executor can be an advantage the other way around so none of the worthless twats get anything. We always talk about how when my wife's mother dies her son and all her grandchildren who rarely speak to her will have their hand out over her grave. Good thing my wife will have complete control so she can tell them all to gently caress off.

Best thing in a case like this is to make it abundantly clear in the will with no uncertain terms that the leeches are purposely being excluded from inheritances and that the person was of clear sound mind when decided. That way if push comes to shove and a judge has to look at it, it's a no-brainer.

My father and I discussed this recentlym while I'd rather he love another 30 years we did need to hash some stuff out and I found out he'd forgotten to take his ex out of his will so I'm glad we found that out now. I'm sure my brother who made an rear end of himself at my wedding will demand a cut of anything dad leaves despite publicly stating how much he hates our father and wishing I'll upon him.

It's good to see you are able to sit down and discuss stuff like that with your dad. My dad would refuse to talk about this with me, now he's pretty much a shadow of himself in a nursing home where his dementia is that bad he doesn't recognise anything since his days on his family's farm.

Anyone else have owls in their yards? For some reason screech owls love my yard, I always run into them doing yard work and they are loving fearless, I'll be pruning a tree with a sawzall right next to it and it won't budge. I've put a camera right up to their face and they just sit there not giving any fucks. I'm tempted to try and pet one because they are so cute but i don't want talons in my face

fridge corn posted:That zf 8speed auto is a perfectly suitable gearbox for a sporty car with only 350hp or so. Depends on your definition of "suitable". Does it make the car go forward and backwards in a reliable and mostly consistent fashion? Yes. Is it any fun to drive? No. It still shifts like absolute garbage if you try to use it manually (at least it does in the 3-series), and having 8 speeds just gives it 7 chances to be in the wrong gear at the wrong time.

I can think of loads of cars where it's a great gearbox but also loads of cars where it is a bit disappointing. It's all down to how well the manufacturer sets up it's control strategy, but that's got little to do with the gearbox itself

Kazinsal posted:Same. If its MSRP in Freedom Units is $50k, then it'll be $70k up here. At that point, you can get a lot more car for that money. Hell, you can get a well maintained first gen NSX for that here. Back in 1995 the list price of the Supra Turbo was around $48k, which adjusted for inflation would be $73500 today. fridge corn posted:Yeah this.
