I just like ze control!

But I did break part of my foot a year ago and now shifting is kinda not fun anymore. Those few months in the boot were hysterical. I consider myself a pro for grinding only once. I was driving like an old man.
Or, I guess "not 4th" makes more sense given the lack of any safety feature on my old 240z.
or *kKrrTTcchhhhggrnnnn-gnnn-nnnnnn* CRAP! that's not 6th!
VROOOM!!!! Oh shit, that ain't 5th!

The Supra is just an emotional experience for me and leads to irrational thinking. There is no car for that price that turns heads like it does. Especially that black
Agreed on both. Honestly, I think owning a car is one day going to be like owning a horse. Expensive and done by only a few.

And I love having a 6 spd. There is no greater feeling than being tuned into the workings of your transmission when driving. Now if I can just stop accidentally slipping into 3rd when I'm not paying attention and trying to hit 5th.
My little Accord LX 6-spd is a joy. Going up the mountains, dropping into 2nd and having my head put into the window. Love it.

All while maintaining a legal speed and appropriate distance from traffic, kids.

But that premium gas is steep. Should always go 4 cyl if you broke like me
Agreed. They said the 4 cyl is better for mountain roads, too. All I know is I love driving my FRS on all these winding roads around my hometown. I have gone barreling into some curves at speeds I ain’t never done before. Pucker up buttercup! You going for a ride with Mr. Hyde.

It’s almost perfect. Styling. Enough performance to get on the highway, but not trouble. The only thing that kills me is the lack of a manual. I don’t want better performance, I want 3 pedals. Bad!
I was excited for it, but then I lost all interest when I found out it’s rocking a BMW engine. I want an inline Toyota.

And apparently they are adding a four cyl option for 2021.
I would only want a 4cyl if it was a daily driver.

Pretty much months after the first allegation.
To be fair, they were just allegations and he was never found to have actually done anything.
It helped that his exes and his wife all vouched for him. That his text messages with her that were released painted a different picture, and that she also refused to cooperate with the investigation for her own reasons.
He may have done all the things he was accused of, who knows?
I just so happened to see his pod (which I figured was done) and saw all these episodes and was surprised. He’s a good interviewer and it will be a nice backlog to go through.
