Paul Boz_ posted:My boss just got the curtains done (5% limo on every window except the windshield) on his TL and you literally can't see out of the windows on a sunny day if you're wearing sunglasses. It looks cool but I can't imagine that driving any time after dusk would not be a huge hazard. My old Supra had 15% tint on the back windows (hatch and triangles) and backing up at night was very scary. I usually rolled the windows down so I could use my mirrors. I bought the car with the tint, and since I usually only drove it during the day I just left it on.

I doubt any of these cars are fast enough to have it be an issue.

During my first trip to the drag strip with my Supra I got passed by a guy in a Probe. At the track I located him and found out he was running a turbocharger with some upgrades, and was dying to get into the 13's. He ran a 14.03 on his first run, and on his second he blew a headgasket and dumped a ton of coolant all over the track. Poor kid

I worked on an early 2000s Kia Sportage of all things that had a real oil pressure gauge. That was one thing he had us checking on, he was worried because the oil pressure was acting like a tachometer. I took it for a test drive and confirmed that yes, his oil pressure raised when it accelerated.

Charge that rear end in a top hat and get him convicted for the hit-and-run. He's lucky he doesn't have a DUI hanging over his head as well.

The dude who runs it has a Tanry with some significant body damage. You see tons of tan Camrys all over the place, so he put up the blog for fun. He's the kind of guy who drove to see Tommy Wiseau (of "The Room" fame) and get his picture taken with him. Sometimes people just want to be goofballs.

The CR-Z is a failure on almost every level. The car isn't quick, doesn't get good gas mileage (for a hybrid), only seats 2 people, and is pretty ugly to boot. Is there a silver lining I am not seeing?

SaNChEzZ posted:Your opinion, I think it looks great, it's fun and sporty with a bunch of aftermarket. Sure it doesn't get 80MPG, but I have no qualms with 44-45 on the highway. I assume you hate miatas as well, pretty much the same thing. I'm actually in the market for a Miata once I sell my Camry. I drove my neighbor's and it was a blast. Now that I'm getting a car for work, I might get a fun car again, and the Miata is at the top of the list.
