My 5th Gen has sliding second row seats. Removed for 6th Gen. you can also see where the cut outs are for the knees in the 5th Gen. 5th Gen also has more front room with the windshield being more upright

 

Were you close enough to judge the interior color, if it had the newer front fascia (06-08) and/or was 6MT? There is a good chance that was my former car.
Loved my Artic Blue Pearl TSX. It was an extra car and I sold it after COVID because it was sitting around too much, had over 185,000 miles and started needing work that would be cheap and easy for mechanically inclined folks but not for me. Sold it to a guy in Delaware. BTW, it was bone stock except for LED maplights when I sold it!
The steering and 6-speed in that car were magic.

 

Def striker car!!

... Unveiled at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show, the Brabus E V12 is a dramatically reimagined version of the W212 Mercedes-AMG E-Class. Instead of the 5.5-liter V8 used in the standard model, Brabus would transfer the 5.0-liter V12 from the Mercedes-Benz W221 S600 and add almost an entire liter of displacement to the already potent power plant, a similarly sized V12 engine as the one used in the Brabus rendition of the Maybach S-Class. The 6.3-liter V12 engine would require a special crankshaft with a longer stroke, larger cylinder bore, larger precision-balanced pistons, and upgraded piston rods.

yep that's all legit! also i was thrown off when i saw the M6 badge since i thought those were only ever called the M635 CSi, but after a quick trip to the wikipedia article turns out only in america and japan it was actually sold as an M6! stunning cars... the bimmer design language of that era was just perfection

 

He lowered the car to the point where the wheels are rubbing the fenders, thus the negative camber. Had a friend who did that when I was in HS, and it is the most miserable ride. You feel like your teeth are going to come out at every little bump, and you have to drive 2 miles an hour up out of driveways and over bumps to keep the front and back from scraping

 

definitely not... this pic which was just posted on the benz subreddit a few hours ago is one of the reasons why:



sorry if this is painful to see steve!

 

it's all about the fitment and the stance because it "looks sick" to have as little space between the tires and fenders as possible

there's a youtube channel called fitment industries that's all about making cars look like that, but i think these people at some level think they're making their car more like a race car by doing this lol

 

It's been disputed a lot, the speed and other things.

Official word is they were going 50-60ish (iirc) but the car is so totaled it had to be faster than that, I think.



Other than Di's death (obviously) Mercedes was in the limelight for a little while. It was concluded that the car did do its job quite well. The sole survivor was wearing a seatbelt and nobody else. They say Diana had a good chance (75-80%) of making it if she had her belt on, and the other passengers too for that matter.

And yep, W140s were tanks. That was a 190hp S280 we didn't get however which was slowww. People have asked before how the car was able to get such a devastating speed so quickly.

And yes, RIP. What a wonderful woman she was.

 

I don’t get it. Why are they removing these useful features? The 07-13 Tundras also had sliding and reclining rear seats. The 14-present Tundras have neither.

Some may say the 6th gen 4Runner is more powerful but throw a blower on the 5th gen and it’s a different conversation. But I believe the mpg is better on the 6th runner. There also reports of the 5th gen powerplant being a dog I guess depending on who you ask.

I had a 3rd gen 4Runner and it was one of the my favorite vehicles however it wasn’t great at anything. LOL. I think I did average 20mpg. I would still have it if could tow my 7x16 enclosed trailer. It pulled it empty home but once I got it setup to haul motorcycles, it couldn’t haul 1 let alone the 3 it was set up for.

 

Yikes lol

 

cheapskates. Little details they removed. They deleted all the plastics and covering in the engine bay. The rear seat mesh pockets. The nice grab handle is rock solid, the new grab handle is brutal. No more gated shifter. 25 has a manual hood prop that one has to fumble with. So yeah…not surprised no sliding rear seats. I think I have 270hp which is 55 more HP than my 2UZ. Full size spare. Full time 4WD. Optitron gauges.





no more dark blue option. 60s tires.



good for them. I love that my 1GR is unapologetically old in design and age. 4L is the last of it. . The vehicle is just perfect. It’s a fun experience when I’m driving it. It has very high ride height, so view is the same as full size truck. My 4th is 3in lower in ride height. I have a manual rear door, but it has two lights with switches and two door pulls and two speakers. Also the rear wiper is concealed

 

Looks like it's a good time to by a new Corvette

There Are Thousands of Unsold New Chevy Corvettes at Dealers Across the U.S.

Markups pushed the price of a new C8 Corvette into six-figures after it debuted, but now a new one can be had for much less

We saw a mint C6 corvette and my wife was loving it, drove by our house.

I thought it was new.
How.long has the C6 been out?

 

C6 is pretty old. The newest Vette is a C8
