    Apparently there are a very small number of R33 GTRs about which were imported by someone other than Motorex and thus survived whatever happened there. I've never seen one myself, but then Alaska probably isn't the best place to go looking. However, judging by the wording of the ad, they're almost certainly talking about the massive demand spike that's almost guaranteed to happen a few years from now when R33s start becoming legal on age - think it's going to be about 3 years now.

    Just wondering what do you have to do to remove the limiter of the skyline? Because you can drive faster here than 180 kph

    I didn't build a car this year, but I'll still end up having to haul this one that belongs to a buddy of mine, and take it through tech.

    It's a 90-something Taurus, It'll be my first time dealing with the compact class.

    Probably some manner of hackery in the ECU, so perhaps it would be worth putting a tune on it while you're at it.

    What do you guys think about the 2018 Honda Accord? IMO, it is thousands of times better than the previous one, but it has no V6, which sucks.
    The styling is in all honesty, stunning. It looks like a heavily refined, and matured Civic

    Don't know, it looks like like every modern mid-size sedan, ugly, without personality, under powered, stupidly heavy, over-priced and with too much useless electronic equipments.

    All these people who talk about safety BS are wrong, beetles are the most safe thing in this earth. Dont believe? Proof:

    Beetles dont need airbags or thee-point seatbelts
    Also, only brasilian beetles are the safest, because theyre called fuscas



    (This is only a joke, please dont get it wrong, but the beetle safety thing is kinda true, they're realy tuff)

    That Beetle's body may be "tough" but that's not the point, the car may hold up relatively fine in a crash, but that's not going to stop you from traveling at the same speed with no seatbelts, airbags or whatsoever.

    I do not think it is very ugly. However, I also like manual sports sedans that are less ubiquitous better.

    I'm questioning why the hell did that person continue getting out of the Mini even though the Beetle is heading towards him...

    They're taking the V6 out of the accord?? Well there goes one of the last remaining 'fun' family cars. Honestly the v6 Accord was pretty quick and made fair power, and the v6 manual accord coupe was even cooler. I heard they're taking out the 6 speed auto too, leaving CVT only. :(

    Outside of Skoda, I don't think there really are any fun family cars left.

    Hah, we have never had a V6 in our european Accords. Neither we have the Accord anymore. Small Ugly Vans are pushing conventional cars out of the market. That's sad.
    What about Audi S4? It is expensive, but fun costs money.

    Anyone else noticed how late model fords honk 3 times periodically after a crash?
    I have. I've searched and found nothing about it.

    You can hear this mustang doing it.

    This raptor does it, but only a couple of times.
