    He has an amazing collection.  He was the OG person modifying Jeeps into 4 doors, before Jeep even had the LJs.  Even turned some into dualies !  Creative crazy mind.

    Not sure what’s in the water, but someone launched a car into a used car lot too. Ran over the hood of an Escalade.

    Toyota's new Corolla GR makes 300 hp from a 3-cylinder engine, it's bumping north of $50K, and going over 80 mph voids your warranty.    =)

    Are those Corollas speed limited to only 80 mph?  Seems odd exceeding that speed would void the warranty.

    Most of these cars end up on the track. That’s probably Toyota’s way of not warranting track cars.

    A quick Google search tells me that the limitation is due to lack of high speed-capable tires. 

    0-60 in five seconds, btw. No slouch, considering it’s a Corolla.

    At first glance, that truck looks like a Rivian.

    I agree. I love the nostalgic look of the scout SUV.

    Isn’t Scout partnered with Rivian and their skateboard platform stuff?  Thought they were in bed with each other somehow.

    I could post one. I was getting my vehicle serviced and watched the purchase negotiations for 2 hrs. The price was marked up $7500 above sticker and no tax credit because it’s made in Europe. About a month later it’s still at the stealership.

    Excuse my ignorance. What do you get serviced on an electric Volkswagen? 

    Grease zerks?

    I know the Tesla crowd goes in for software updates and reboots...

    Well I wasn’t specific but it was either a software update or a tire replacement. Can’t remember right now as I have had both done. Lots of loose screws on the roads.
