Just read your new fic it’s amazing!
So questions how does the whole grid looks like? What’s the age gap in this fic? Who won the wdc between 2010-13? we know Mark won two, so it can be Jenson and Fernando for the other two
I'm glad you like it<3 I spent so much time planning it omg, so:
2020 grid:
Red Bull Racing: Sebastian Vettel & Max Verstappen
Alpha Tauri: Alex Albon & Pierre Gasly
Ferrari: Kimi Räikkönen & Charles Leclerc
Alfa Romeo: Robert Kubica & Antonio Giovinazzi
Mercedes: Lewis Hamilton & Valtteri Bottas
Williams: George Russell & Nicholas Latifi
Renault: Daniel Ricciardo & Esteban Ocon
Racing Point: Sergio Perez & Lance Stroll
Haas: Roman Grosjean & Kevin Magnussen
McLaren: Lando Norris & Carlos Sainz
(I played with the grid from that year a little basically, I chose 2019 and 2020 season mainly because of Danny leaving Red Bull)
The age gap is 22 years, Mark's life story is changed just slightly, it's Sebastian who was born in '98 in this AU, so in 2020 they are respectively 43/44 y.o. and 21/22 y.o.
Mark won WDCs in 2011 and 2013, Alonso and Lewis took the other two. So in this AU Fernando retired with 3 and Lewis has 6. In 2019, he was about to equal Schumacher's record. I ended the Merc domination earlier, giving the Honda engine to RBR so it would fit the story better. In the last race of the season, Max and Lewis crashed and Seb won the Championship in Abu Dhabi by one point.
Thank U so much for the ask!

FIRST LOOK: AlphaTauri reveal livery for 2023 AT04 at glitzy New York F1 season launch
AlphaTauri have become the latest F1 team to launch their 2023 season, showing off the livery that will adorn the yet-to-be-presented AT04 challenger during a special event in New York. Long-time team boss Franz Tost, continuing driver Yuki Tsunoda and new arrival Nyck de Vries were all on hand for Saturday’s reveal, which followed Red Bull’s own season launch in the Big Apple a week ago. WATCH: AlphaTauri’s new F1 car roars into life with pre-season fire up Coinciding with New York’s famous Fashion Week, the launch represented a perfect fit for the AlphaTauri fashion brand, who are owned by Red Bull and replaced Toro Rosso as the Faenza squad’s official name in 2020. In a suitably stylish unveiling, AlphaTauri presented a now traditional deep blue and white colour scheme for their new car, which will be powered by Honda engines running under the Red Bull Powertrains moniker. However, red highlights now complement the palette courtesy of Polish oil refiner and petrol retailer ORLEN linking up with the team as a ‘Principal Partner’ for 2023, having moved across from rivals Alfa Romeo. A dash of red has made its way onto the AlphaTauri livery AlphaTauri head into the new season looking to turn their recent F1 fortunes around, having slipped from sixth in the 2021 constructors’ standings to ninth in 2022, when all-new technical regulations came into play. Japanese racer Tsunoda keeps his place at the team for a third successive season, with De Vries arriving in place of Alpine-bound Pierre Gasly after the Dutchman’s impressive stand-in performance for Williams at last year’s Italian Grand Prix. BARRETTO: Why AlphaTauri’s newest recruit Nyck de Vries could be 2023’s dark horse Speaking at the launch of AlphaTauri’s new livery, and looking at the year ahead, Tost said: “I think that the whole field will be much closer together. Of course, the big three teams still have an advantage from their infrastructure, from the personnel side, but I’m quite convinced that in 2023 the cars will be much more evenly matched. “In addition, while [Max] Verstappen won the championship quite early on in the season last year, I don’t expect that one driver will have such a big advantage this year and win so early. “I think it will become a fight that goes on until the end of the season. That’s what the fans, spectactors, and we all want to see.” With the AT04’s livery out in the open, it means half of F1’s 10 teams have revealed their colours ahead of the new season – Aston Martin being the next outfit due for launch on February 13. TEAM GUIDE: The essential lowdown on Italian team AlphaTauri as Tsunoda and De Vries prepare for 2023 AlphaTauri and the rest of the F1 grid will gather at the Bahrain International Circuit for pre-season testing from February 23-25, with the opening round of the campaign following a week later at the same Sakhir venue. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Here’s my thoughts as a massive Redbull fan (since 2020, not a glory hunter) and hopefully it’s a bit comforting
With Adrian apparently planning on leaving It’ll be interesting to see what happens. Remember newey isn’t the be all and end all of formula 1 car design but he is a massive advantage. Ground effect was his thesis topic so the ground effect aero era was definitely perfectly suited to him. The new regulations aren’t ground effect and are less aero based than the way they are now.
But what I’m most interested in is his gardening leave. Adrian has to take a year of gardening leave due to his position in the team. A year completely removed.
If he leaves at the end of the year, like the rumours suggest. He helps the development of the Redbull 2025 car and sits out the 2025 season completely. The teams will be developing their 2026 car as soon as they are able in 2025. If he joins another team it won’t be until the start of the 2026 season when the car is mostly developed. Meaning there will be no Newey car on the 2026 grid until at least part way through until the first serious upgrades.
If he sees out his Redbull contract which I’m sure Redbull will try and get him to. He will work the 2025 season and be involved in the 2026 car development. He’ll sit out the 2026 season and if he does will join another team for 2027. By this stage the teams will have their base concept for the new regulations and will be working within them. So the first newey influence won’t be there until part way through 2027/2028
The biggest problem comes if Adrian leaves effective immediately and then can join a team part way through 2025 and influence the 2026 car of the bat.
As a Redbull fan, newey will be a terrible loss but it hopefully won’t be an immediate one.
2026 will be all about engines as well as fitting cars into the new regulations. Engines are a massive influence in formula 1 look at the Honda vs the Renault Redbull both newey cars but the Renault engines were shit. The epic Ross brawn merc engines were a part of their runaway success particularly at the start of the turbo hybrid era. Those who get their engines right will have a better start than the others (Redbull will probably fuck up their engine let’s real)
And the teams aren’t just one man. Lewis’ raw ability and talent combined with the merc engine lessens the impact of poor strategy and pit stops that merc sometimes had that is clearer now with a much worse car. Max’ talent and skill is making the car to look even better than it is. So while you definitely need a good car. And Adrian has been known to provide them (ignoring early turbo hybrid Redbull and early Redbull plus whatever he had going on inbetween championship winning cars (there is blunders in there)) it wont change everything and it wont be right away.

Low Maintenance Car – A Great Way To Save Money?
Tumblr media
Low maintenance car is a dream come true. It’s a vehicle that hardly ever breaks down and if it does, it’s inexpensive to repair. Such cars are everybody’s favorites, as they make our life simpler. But for some reason, people are still reluctant to buy them.
Today we’ll check out the list of the cheapest cars and brands in terms of maintenance. We’ll also examine what makes them so inexpensive, and figure out why people don’t navigate toward such vehicles.
WHAT MAKES LOW MAINTENANCE COST CARS CHEAPER?
Low maintenance costs cars are budget-friendly for several reasons, including auto insurance, initial quality, reliability, depreciation, and ease of repairs.
Auto insurance
According to Carfax, a low-cost insurance premium is one of the main factors that reduce the price of owning a vehicle. Since insurance is the costliest expense for car owners, buying a more affordable package could be a solution.
However, it’s important to check out what’s included in the low-cost insurance policies. Purchasing something that won’t offer adequate coverage will essentially cost you more.
Initial quality
Investing more money into a car will reduce your long-term expenses. Even though you can find numerous reliable vehicles under $5,000 or $10,000, you’ll get better quality if you pay more. You see, pocket friendly cars are usually quite old, which can easily translate into a high level of abuse. Therefore, paying more for a younger model could reduce your costs in the future.
Reliability
Low ownership cost cars are usually the most reliable as they hardly ever break down. Naturally, if a vehicle doesn’t light up the “check engine light” warning every other day, it will be quite cheap to maintain. Brands, such as Toyota, don’t require frequent visits to the service stores.
Depreciation
Depreciation is another factor that can increase the cost of owning a car, but it can also reduce it. If you buy a vehicle that holds its value quite well, you’ll certainly be able to resell it for a decent price. Also, the longer you have a car, the less the percentage of depreciation is in the ownership costs.
The ease of repairs
Finally, the costs of maintenance can reduce significantly depending on the ease of repairs. Older cars are usually simpler to take apart, as they don’t require special tools or expertise. More popular models are also cheaper to own, as their parts are widely available on the market. Therefore, special makes and limited edition vehicles are significantly more expensive to maintain.
BEST LOW MAINTENANCE CARS EVER MADE
The list of the best low maintenance cars can shift significantly from one model year to another. The maintenance costs might also be low in the beginning, and increase significantly after 5 years. Therefore, we included the models that are the least expensive to maintain and remain cheap even after years of usage.
Honda Fit
The annual cost of maintaining Honda Fit amounts to $300 on average. New releases could cost slightly more to repair. However, with this model, you’ll still be able to keep your expenses at a minimum.
Nissan Leaf
Consumer Reports conducted research that revealed 2011 vehicles that were the cheapest to maintain. They chose to examine older cars to see which models remained inexpensive after the expiration of the warranty.
According to their research, Nissan Leaf costs $0 to maintain. It’s probably the cheapest vehicle to keep on the road. It mightn’t be the most exciting model to drive, yet it certainly won’t increase your expenses.
Toyota Corolla
The 2011 release of the Toyota Corolla costs only $245 to repair annually. That number increases to $710 for newer models, but that’s still cheap compared to other cars. That’s exactly why this vehicle stays on this list over and over again.
Honda CR-V
Honda CR-V is extremely cheap to maintain for an SUV. 2011 release costs around $300 annually, while 2020 and 2021 models are a bit more expensive ($965). However, you shouldn’t forget that this car has incredible reliability scores, i.e. the chances of it breaking down are low.
Kia Soul
Kia Soul is yet another vehicle that is cheap to maintain and has impressive reliability scores. You’ll only have to take it to the mechanic for regular maintenance. It doesn’t really like surprises, which means you can relax and enjoy your drive. But if you do encounter an issue, it won’t be an expensive one.
WHICH LOW MAINTENANCE CAR BRANDS ARE THE BEST?
Tumblr media
If we look at the available data, we’ll see that currently, the best low maintenance car brands are Subaru, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Honda. The majority of their vehicles are cheap to repair and don’t have major problems.
Subaru
Subaru is a brand that always delivers reliable and durable vehicles. The majority of their cars are a breeze to repair. Most of the parts are color-coded so that you can find and access them easily. They also have a huge collection of information that can help you solve minor issues yourself. Mechanics also find it easy to repair Subaru cars. Consequently, Subaru vehicles are quite cheap to repair.
Hyundai and Kia
Hyundai and Kia deserve a place on this list because they offer impressive warranty coverage. They provide their customers with a 5-year (or 60,000 miles) warranty that pays for all the major issues you might encounter. They also have a 10-year warranty that will cover the vital parts of the car such as the engine, transmission, and axles. Since you’re covered for so long, you won’t have to worry about high maintenance costs with these brands.
Toyota
Since Toyota builds functioning, affordable, and reliable vehicles, their models are usually quite affordable in terms of maintenance as well. Search for “best low maintenance cars on sale” and you’ll be slapped with the name Toyota. They appear abundantly in such lists because their cars don’t cost an arm and a leg to service.
Honda
Even though Honda has certain models that don’t meet our expectations (and to be honest, every brand has), the majority of their releases are cheap to maintain. This is especially true for their older models.
Some brands are certainly more promising than others in terms of maintenance costs. However, there’s one thing you should remember. If you choose a car with a high performance engine, 10-speed automatic transmission, or special edition interior, you’ll pay a crazy amount of money for maintenance. In that case, brands don’t even matter. Less powerful vehicles are always more affordable to repair.
THE RESALE VALUE OF LOW OWNERSHIP COST CARS
Tumblr media
Just like any other vehicle on this planet (except for classic models), low maintenance cost cars also depreciate a lot during their lifespan. After five years of ownership, only 40-45 percent will be left from their original value. Therefore, if you purchase such a vehicle, be ready to face substantial depreciation.
For example, Kia Rio is among the cheapest vehicles to maintain. However, its price drops from approx. $15,000 to $8,000 in five years. You lose more than half of the initial value if you purchase it new.
The solution here is to go for a used model. In that case, the previous owner will bear the burden of depreciation. If you know how to sell a used car, you should be able to resell your vehicle with a decent value. Keep in mind that people aren’t always willing to purchase low ownership cost cars.
WHY ARE PEOPLE RELUCTANT TO BUY CARS THAT ARE CHEAP TO MAINTAIN?
As a rule, people are reluctant to purchase cars that are cheap to maintain because of the following factors:
Age: let’s face it – the cheapest cars to maintain are old. Yes, their younger siblings are also more affordable compared to other models, yet they are still more expensive. If you truly want to save money on maintenance, then you have to go for an older release. Nowadays, people are rarely willing to buy cars that are older than 10 years;
Mileage: naturally, an old car will also have high mileage. Even if the driver didn’t use the vehicle frequently (which is also not the best case scenario), it would still accumulate significant mileage in 10 years or more. Unfortunately, high mileage vehicles suffer from poor value;
Features: as we’ve mentioned above, cars that are inexpensive to maintain are basic. They won’t have an exciting engine or impressive features. Every new capability increases the cost of maintenance. Therefore, people who want powerhouse engines and cool add-ons, won’t necessarily navigate toward cars with low maintenance costs;
Market trends: people are more likely to buy popular cars and those trends change frequently. Some low maintenance car brands might have been famous years ago, but they mightn’t be in the top charts today. As a result, they lose customers.
WHY DO SELLERS USE THE MILEAGE BLOCKER IN SUCH CASES?
Sellers might use the mileage blocker with low-maintenance vehicles to attract more customers. As mentioned, these fellas aren’t best sellers on the market. Therefore, retailers have to do something to get things going. Since they can’t do anything about factors such as age, features, or market trends, they choose to modify mileage.
Now, the mileage blocker is a module that stops recording mileage without leaving a trace. It’s an ethical device that manufacturers designed for testing purposes. However, due to its useful features, some people use it for fraudulent reasons.
Namely, sellers activate the mileage blocker on public roads to prevent the car from counting additional miles or km. With smaller mileage, they can attract more customers and even increase the value of the vehicle. Using this tool for deception is unethical.
I understand the reasons behind such actions – sellers want their customers to purchase reliable, low-maintenance vehicles. They take matters into their own hands and mess with the factors that they can actually change.
But that doesn’t mean that it’s okay to use this tool in such a way. It’s better to buy the mileage blocker for testing the performance of your car. It’s truly an interesting module with useful and practical features. In order to fully benefit from its features, you can get good technical support and costumer service from the team.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
A low maintenance car is a great way to save some money. Unexpected repairs and scheduled maintenance can potentially amount to serious money. If you want to reduce the costs of owning a car, it’s better to choose the model that hardly ever breaks down.
Keep in mind that these vehicles don’t sell as fast as we’d like. If you’re not ready for long-term ownership, maybe it’s better to buy something else.

Used Nissan Almera: Why You Should Get It
After 8 years on the market, the Nissan Almera is finally starting a new generation cycle. We say finally as the Almera is looking very long in the tooth considering how Honda and Toyota introduced 2 new generations of the Honda City and Toyota Vios and a few major updates in between during the years the Almera was on sale. While the Almera might look dated new, it is still a desirable used car option to some. Here’s why…
To recap, during the launch in 2012, the Almera came in 3 variants namely the E variant (available with manual and automatic), V and the range-topping VL. The Almera was the most affordable option amongst the competition.
Along with its affordable price, it became an instant hit with its generous rear-seat legroom (636 mm) and boot space (490 litres). At launch, it also came with safety systems like 2 airbags in the V and VL variant, ABS, EBD and Brake Assist.
Note that back in the early 2010s, features such as six airbags, rear air conditioning vents, electronic stability control, and cruise control were not common specifications in B-segment cars.
The 1.5-litre DOHC (codenamed HR15DE) produces 75kW of power and 139 Nm of torque. As with most Japanese cars, the engine is a reliable unit along with the 4-speed automatic gearbox which is equally bulletproof.
Nissan rated the engine's fuel consumption of 14.9 km/ litre. Of course, this is nothing compared to the 2020 Nissan Almera’s new turbo engine that has a claimed fuel consumption of 18.4 km/ litre, but it’s good considering its age.
As like we’ve previously mentioned in other used-car guides, the condition is subject to how the previous owner takes care of the car. But if you want a used car with better condition guarantee, pick a unit that has not been under the modification knife.
Nissan Almera on the used car market
While it might surprise many, a used Nissan Almera is highly sought after as the sedan is usually priced around a used second-generation Perodua Myvi.
A manual E variant’s price starts at around RM 19,000 while the range-topping VL variant goes at around RM 30,000 depending on condition.
The Almera was given an update back in 2015. As like most mid-life updates, changes were limited to only cosmetic updates and the inclusion of a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment display while the rest of the car remains the same.
For the update, local distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motors (ETCM) also introduced two different bodykit styling: IMPUL and Nismo. 
In 2018, ETCM gave the Almera one last update before the imminent generation change. In this update, ETCM introduced a special Black Series bodykit designed by Japanese tuner Tomei and updated the infotainment system yet again.
The touchscreen display in the updated Almera is a Clarion unit measuring at 6.75-inch and offers Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Like the pre-update, the Almera also comes with an optional DVR camera.
For this update, even in the E variant you get leather seat coverings and reverse camera. 
We highly recommend that if you’re aiming for a used Almera and your budget allows it, the updated 2018 Almera is the model to get. But if budget constraints are an issue, then the 2015 facelift would already offer the benefits of newer equipment for a smidge more than the pre-facelift.
Also, based on Owner’s Reviews from Wapcar’s forum, the Almera is an OKU friendly car what with its spacious interior and massive door openings for easy ingress and egress. So, based on your usage, the Almera would be a good fit as a family car.

hii!! i was wondering what do u think we can expect from mclaren and their switch to a merc engine next year? obviously the merc engine is currently the best (..ignoring those last two races), but do you think the car will adapt to the engine, especially because they only have two tokens to use to upgrade their car to fit the new engine? could '21 be a "stabilizing" year?
hey there! as this question is more on the technical side, I’m going to explain it a little bit for anyone who is confused by this question and then I’ll end it with my thoughts!!
basically, there were supposed to be regulation changes going into 2021, but due to the pandemic they postponed that (to keep costs down for the teams). this means that all the chassis designs will be the same next year as they were this year, apart from a few small surface-area aerodynamics that are allowed to be improved. and in order to regulate what the teams change; a token system has been introduced. at the beginning of the 2020 season, components of the car were split into two groups based on when the homologation needs to be frozen (homologation = the procedure that a part must undergo in order to participate in the championship). so for example, some parts need to be frozen by the first round of the season and some parts need to be frozen by the eight round. and once the homologation is frozen, those parts can only be updated between that date and the end of the 2021 season using two tokens. some homologated components have a value of one token, which means they can be updated twice. bigger components (e.g., the rear suspension) have been assigned a value of two tokens, which means that the teams can only make one change.
what this means for McLaren is that they have a problem, because changing to the Mercedes engine means that they have to make changes in order to fit the power unit into the car and on top of that, they will also have to redesign their rear suspension components. what McLaren did to prevent running out of tokens, is change as many things as possible before they were homologated (such as the new front structure they have since Russia). but the most important change they’ll have to make going into 2021 is the fact that the bodywork will have to be changed in order to supply the correct amount of cooling for the Mercedes components. however, the Renault and Honda powered teams prefer to place some of the cooling components above the engine intake. this results in a bigger engine cover but allows the sidepods to become more tightly packaged. Mercedes and Racing Point don’t do this, but Williams does do this. so in that way, McLaren may be able to continue without too many changes.
and now onto my thoughts; personally I think they’ll be fine. I think what they have done so far in order to prevent running out of tokens has been really smart and I suspect they’ll end up solving the cooling issue in the way Williams has done. we’ve seen this year that the McLaren is a very good car and I personally think they’ll continue to improve next year. maybe in the beginning we’ll see a few problems, but I suspect there will be an upward trend in their results throughout the season. the Mercedes engine is very reliable and I personally think a few podiums are possible and possibly even a win (if something happens to both the Mercedes cars). I am very optimistic about it!!
this mostly turned out to be an explanation, but I do hope everything was understandable, including my thoughts. I hope you’re having a good day! 🧡

Why is Vinales leaving Yamaha?
The question posed by this article, is one which I have no clear answer for, nor do most people in MotoGP have the answer to it seems! So, instead I will discuss possible reasons, and where his future may lie!
Vinales came to MotoGP as a bright young star, with a lot of momentum behind him, after winning the Moto3 title in 2013, and riding superbly in his rookie year in Moto2. His first two years in the top class, saw him excel on a Suzuki which was not ready to battle at the front. Yet, he was able to score good points, and in his second year, achieve his first win at Silverstone, as well as three other podiums! When he then signed for the factory Yamaha squad, it looked as though he would be their flagship rider for the years to come!
To begin with the signs were good, with him taking wins and podiums in his first few years, unable to beat the might of Marquez, but holding his own against Rossi very well. At that point, the expectation was that the bike was holding him back, and when the equipment matched that of Ducati and Honda, combined with his growing experience, he could bring titles to the team!
This brings us to 2020, where Marquez is out through injury, and the Ducati has fallen back in the pack, so the door is wide open for Maverick. There was a new young pretender at Yamaha, who had done brilliant things in 2019, although as Vinales had a stronger year, he was still top dog. However, as the year unfolded, major weaknesses in Vinales’ game became clear, mainly in wheel-to-wheel combat. Confidence was also a major issue, and whenever rain came, or there was uncertainty, he dropped like a stone! This all meant, that combined with the problems that Quartararo had, Yamaha completely missed an open goal in 2020, as the more confident, better racer of Mir, stole the title from them!
So, here we are in 2021, a new year, and a new Fabio, who has cleaned up his act, and is on top form! Yet, we still see the same Vinales, lacking confidence, needing to stick to a plan, rather than go on instinct. All this means, is that in the unpredictable world on MotoGP, Quartararo is demolishing Vinales in every way! Then comes the announcement, that he will be leaving the team at the end of the year, which makes no sense to most people!
The main theory behind it, and one that has been suggested by Maverick himself, is that the team had shifted focus to Fabio, and has no faith in him. This may be true, and given the relative performances, you wouldn’t blame them, so he has no reason to start kicking and screaming about it! He said that the change of Crew Chief was disrespectful, yet it is completely justified if one rider is much slower than the other.
In that situation, the problem is either in the engineering set up of the bike, or the rider himself, so by arguing it wasn’t the Crew Chief, he is effectively saying ‘I am the problem’. If that is the reason he gives to leave, saying the team didn’t support him, it really means that he didn’t like being beaten by a better rider! I know it is harsh, and I want Maverick to do well, but looking at the pace of them both, it is the truth!
Another reason could be his comfort level on the bike, as results like at the Sachsenring, suggest he isn’t at one with it. This would be surprising, as the smooth Yamaha should be the perfect bike for his style of riding, but the issues could be deeper than that, and we may never know the full details. If this is the case, where could he find a better fit?
Ducati, Honda, and KTM, all seem to have bikes you need to grab by the scruff of the neck, at least more than the Yamaha, so those wouldn’t be viable for him. Which leaves Aprilia and Suzuki! Most of the speculation is for him to replace Savadori next year at Aprilia. This may not be a bad move, as the bike is improving all the time, and could be able to fight at the front soon, plus he should be able to outperform Aleix, although I doubt it would be easy.
Don’t count out a move to Suzuki though! We all know the plight of Rins this year, and that bike is the smoothest on the grid, he knows the team well too which could help! My only reservation, is that with Mir on the other side of the garage, he could find himself in a similar situation if he went there, as Mir can be quite aggressive!
Even considering all these options, I do not understand why he would leave what is clearly the strongest team on the grid this year. Yes, he may not be able to beat Fabio, but doing anything else could be a big risk, and may ruin his career if he is not careful. The main thing though, is that he is happy in his choice, as the barrage of social media chatter on him during the past year or so, must have been tough. If he can find the right home for himself, it could be the rebirth of the star we witnessed five or so years ago!

BNHA X Cars
KaminariSo, this is basically BNHA Street racer AU. But to be more precise I’m picking the cars for the characters from BNHA. Because cars have characteristic, it has personality and it describes you as a person. Not just based from the body but the engines and the car as whole. So, this is my pick of cars for the character of BNHA
Part 1 For the boys
I’m going to divide it into 2 cars. One is for daily drive/Sports car and the other is The Supercar. The Sports car will describe them as characters individuals. While the Supercar will describe their full potentials.
Midoriya Izuku
Midoriya Izuku, The protagonist of the Anime. He is too good of a boy to mess around street Racing. The Color for his car is obviously Green, in that case I Recommend Him.
Sport car/ Daily Drive:
The Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX.
Tumblr media
To be more specific. It is Brian’s First car In the Fast and the furious franchise (R.I.P Paul Walker). This car is one of the Tuners favorite car to modify. It is run by 4G63 Engine, it is the same Engine that run an EVO F*CKING LANCER which is one of the finest cars that has been made on earth (Minus the Turbo). So it plays well with the whole inheritance thing with All Might.
Supercar:
For the supercar, I would Recommend McLaren 675LT
Tumblr media
This car Look Great In green. The whole characteristic of this car reminds me of Midoriya. This car shown how it can blend to the society, how it was able to move fast and aggressively while at the same time maintaining Elegance. This car looked slim, but its performance is something else 3.8 L V8 Twin Turbo Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) Gives the ability for the driver to drive like a maniac. The car produces more or less 675 Horsepower (Just like its name) and can go to 0-100 Km in 2.9 Seconds and a top speed with 330 Km/h (205 Mph).
Bakugo Katsuki
For Bakugo, His car has to be loud and Fast! He needs a car that’s intimidating. For the color I’m Thinking Red, Yellow or Black. But since the car need to look Antagonizing, I’m going with black. So, the car that I propose.
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Dodge Charger SRT Hell Cat 2015
Tumblr media
This car is a 6.2L Hemi V8 Supercharged. The roars in this car is nothing short. This car is for sure is Intimidating. The roar of the engine is equivalent to Bakugo’s Roar of explosive anger. I was considering the newer one like the SRT Redeye Hellcat or even The Demon. But the demons is more of the inner demon screaming trying to get out. It needed a Rumbling sound of the V8, The insane roar that is deafening.
Supercar:
For the Supercar, it is very difficult. I can choose Hyper cars but they just felt a bit too well mannered compared to Bakugo. But I’ve given a lot of thought and the only car that fits is This
Pagani Zonda R
Tumblr media
This car is basically an f1 with a two-seater and a roof. This bad boy is a track only car. So, it is “Street Illegal!!” But that won’t stop Bakugo for using this beauty. This car on high rev speaks will be all the explanation needed on the reason why I chose this car. A car with 700 BHP and only weight 1,070 Kg (In comparison Ford focus weight 1,471 Kg) Which is like a feather.
Todoroki Shoto
For Todoroki His car has to be cool, matured and Luxurious but also High performance. I’m a bit mixed up with the colors Whether I should make it blue or white or red. But since I cant decide I leave it in the ‘Grey’ area. Get it? Ill just get on with it.
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Aston Martin DB11
Tumblr media
Aston Martin is well known on it’s Luxury and History. Which fits Todoroki’s Prince aura/Characteristics. The performance is also nothing short, Aston Martin is also well known to make a brilliant Engine for racing. A twin turbocharged V12 Produce 600 BHP with a top speed 201Km/h (125Mph).
Supercar
For the Super car, I think Lamborghini Huracan Performante.
Tumblr media
It is a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 Engine AWD. This car has a fierce fiery engine on its car but still has that cool matured Body. And the ALA (Aerodinamica Lamborghini Attiva) Is brilliant. It is an active Aerodynamic system that allows the car to go faster.
Tenya Iida:
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Is the Brabus 800 GT 63s
Tumblr media
This car is perfect fot Iida, It has a look in which my friend quote “Sophisticated Look”. And Mind you this car is probably The Fastest Car! For the sport/daily drive Car compare than anyone else in the list. This car packs a crazy 800 BHP and that’s says it all
Supercar:                  
Tumblr media
The fastest Car In the world! In 2010. The specific look that I would like to go is Drift From Transformer: Age Of Extinction. That Blue Lining is perfect for Iida. For some people engines might be boring, But this car have the power of 1200 Horses in it
Kirishima Eijiro
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
The car that this Manly man need to go with is the 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500.
Tumblr media
The Engine has a named called the “Predator” V8 Engine. 750 BHP is nothing short and the roar from within is on par with Bakugo’s SRT Hellcat.
Supercar:                    
I was having second thought of choosing this car. But whenever I think of Kirishima in a car, This car always pops into my head
Tumblr media
Lamborghini Adventador SV. This car Looked manly and menacing. Why I thought about this car, is that it associated it self with a bull in which Kirishima and this car can relate to. A loud V12 Engine roars loud and deep in a intimidating voice and its perfect.
Sero Hanta
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
For Sero the car has to be traditional but still a good car nonetheless. So I pick A classic Porsche 911 turbo 1982.
Tumblr media
It is a classic sports car, It is tunable which make the car run fast.
Supercar:                    
Ferrari 458 Italia
Tumblr media
This car is a normal Aspirated V8 with a high rev engine. It creates something Revolutionary From something traditional.
Kaminari Denki
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
It has to be the SUPRA!!!!!!          
Tumblr media
This car is definitely a meme, it fits with Kaminari Personality.  Seeing them is like “WTH ARE YOU DOING?!” Because both Kaminari and the car would do something ridiculously stupid.
Supercar:
For the Supercar I Would say The Lexus LFA
Tumblr media
Lexus is one of the Artistic Legacy of the JDM Cars. It is one of the legendary Supercar that ever existed. The Normal aspirated V10 Sounded like Pure Thunder striking down on the earth. Sound menacing and amazing. It fits for Kaminari Racing Persona (Or even his villain Persona).
Mashirao Ojiro
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Ojiro is a traditional Japanese person, So his car has to be totally Japanese. My pick have to be The S30 Fairlady Z.
Tumblr media
To be exact the RB26 Swapped Fairlady Z from Sung Kang (Han’s Actor car from “Fast and Furious”) And that’s all I need to say about this car.
Supercar:
For the Supercar It has to be the last piece of The JDM Legend. It is The GTR R35 NISMO.
Tumblr media
This car is perfect for Ojiro, They both are the Representative Character of Japan.
Tokoyami Fumikage
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Blackbird 370 z
Tumblr media
For me it’s a no Brainer. This car was featured as the Replacement of Blackbird in wangan Midnight When they aren’t allowed to use the Porsche. The slick Headlight and the whole body look is the description of Tokoyami Dark Shadow
Supercar:
Mclaren MP4-12C
Tumblr media
That Describes Tokoyami as a whole. One of the best car that ever created in history that changes the whole world. With the black fierce look, This car looks like a shark that flies on land.
Sato Rikido
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
Tumblr media
Sato is a muscular guy. So His sports car is definitely a Muscle Car. But It seems I have a trouble in finding it, It has to be a classic but not too old. In that reason I recommend Saleen s281 2000
It has that sporty look but still have the Muscle car Essence and history
Supercar:
For the Supercar It has to be The Corvette C8.R
Tumblr media
This car is a new take to American cars. It is a Incredible move from the American automotive Industries.
Koda Koji
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
For Koda He is definetly a good Boy so hew probably uses a 4-door car. For instance The Subaru WRX STI 2016.
Tumblr media
It doesn't seems Menacing but it still can move around well and when it drives, it definetly drives well.
Supercar:
For the Supercar it is definetly a NSX-R 1992 Tuned with a Rocket Bunny Body Kit.
Tumblr media
Koda is definitely a Honda city boi. From the name itself, I am 100% it fits with Koda. Back in the day if you want a Ferrari but you can’t afford one. You’ll buy an NSX.
Shoji Mezo
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
For Shoji I think Ford’s Trophy truck.
Tumblr media
A friend of mine said that Shoji, is the kind of guy who would drive a van for daily basis (So I guessed it has to be an American Car). But to me, Shoji is the Kind of guy that likes to get Dirt under his wheels. And I'm pretty sure Shoji is the kind of kid that doesn’t Mind flying in the car on daily basis.
Supercar:
For the Supercar I propose, Ford Gt.
Tumblr media
It is well planted and the car is very wide. Fitting to describes Shoji’s ‘Arms’. Although it might not have similarities with his daily car, But this car is all I could think of.
Aoyama Yuga
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
For the Daily Drive, it is obviously something Luxurious, Something High class Like Bentley GT 2019. The V8 Version.
Tumblr media
It is a confiscated yet sporty look in a car, It looked like as if he stands out compares to the other Luxury Cars
Supercar:
For the Supercar, It has to be describe as “Noblesse oblige” And the Car that fits the most is Noble M600.
Tumblr media
It is a Supercar with all the classic features. It is a RWD Manual Transmission Car, a twin turbocharged 4L V8. Packs 640 BHP 0-60 in 3.1 Second.
Mineta Minoru
Sport Car/ Daily Drive:
It’s the Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder GTS
Tumblr media
Basically, this car is the Japanese Equivalent To pimp rides. Even though This car is featured in The Fast and The Furious, It is just a now show car. Compared the old one, This version is a slower and much more difficult to Modify. But it is still a nice car and fun to drive with, and it is a popular car in the car culture.
Supercar:
For Mineta The Supercar might be really difficult. So in the end I just came up with the Villain version. (Inspired by ‘Nadaboodraws’ Villain Mineta on Instagram) I came up with this
Tumblr media
It is the Audi R8, It is one of the best Affordable Supercar you can get in the world. It is 4wd But it is still an aggressive car with a mean Look.
Okay that’s all I can give for this part. For the next one will be the girls of class 1-A. If you have different opinion let me know, I would love to hear all of your thoughts and if you use my list you can go ahead and use it (But please do tell me, because hearing it will be my vindication and that would make me really happy). Anyway, thank you for reading until this far.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350
Tumblr media
https://revreads.com/2020-royal-enfield-meteor-350/
From the past few years, Royal Enfield is evolving with its machines and want something that their machines can do a long journey without any hassle, fewer vibrations and something that rely on for a comfortable journey. Royal Enfiled already had Classics, Trails, Adventure Tourer, and 650 Twins with the parallel-twin engine. But the company is lagging in cruisers and less vibey engines with a capacity of 350cc. The company already has thunderbird 350 & 500cc. But these are somewhere lagging in terms of performance.
So, the company wants something that fits in this segment also like there other machines are the market’s finest competitors. This time Royal Enfiled comes with the Meteor 350cc with an all-new engine, instrument cluster and introducing navigation system to its machine.
Styling :
The perfect cruising machine when it comes for the cruise at some certain speed with sit low positioned seat height and relaxed position for a longer period. But round headlights, tank shape and some design element somewhat remind of thunderbird. But it makes up with the all-new seat, front wind-shield visor and switch gears U-shaped 10 spoke alloy wheels, LED DRL ring in the Halogen headlamp, backrest for the pillion which makes it premium.
There are three variants- the fireball, the steller and the supernova. The windshield is only available in the top variant and the backrest is available in top two variants.
Engine :
The Royal Enfield meteor gets an all-new engine powered with 349cc with fuel injection BS-6 compliant and produces 20.2 BHP at 6100 RPM and 27 nm of torque at 4000 RPM. The numbers are quiet decent enough, to be practicle these numbers are not too great and even are not class leading, but it can easily give you a better feel for day to day ride and occasional cruising.
But what we are expecting this time from Royal Enfield is refinement and we are happy to say that this engine is very much smoother and gets a very refined ride through out the ride.
The engine has linear power delivery with some peppy nature which helps in city conditions and also have a higher top-end and reaches very quickly at its peak when it compare with the thunderbird and classic.
Gearbox :
Like the engine, the gearbox is also new as-well and gear shift are also smooth. Gear ratio is somewhat on the taller side and doesn’t feel its stressed out even in the triple-digit. But the slipper clutch and sixth gear is also missing.
The output of this transmission is decent and get an efficiency of 35kmpl which lasts 525 km of range with the 15 litres of fuel tank capacity.
In conclusion, the all-new engine and transmission is the meteor 350 is a complete blend of refinement and peppier version of RE’s and making it’s one of the best motorcycles of Royal Enfields.
Instrument Cluster :
The cluster is very much clear and easy read for the rider. Cluster gets a gear positioning, fuel meter, 2 trip meters, clock and odometer in digital part and gets an analogue meter for the speedometer. And a basic telltale lights. The speedometer also has a reading in MPH format.
The second display consists the Royal Enfield’s new tripper navigation system which can connect with mobile phone via Bluetooth
But the worst part of the instrument cluster is the fuel indicator it gets confused all the time and does not show the proper fuel level until and unless the bike gets stable. Every time we have to calculate from the trip meter from the last fuel stop.
Tripper Navigation System, its the first attempt that Royal Enfield is doing something new with the electronics. The new tripper navigation system is powered by the Google maps which very simple to use and read and easily connects with via Bluetooth of mobile phone. It has all the necessary symbols shows while riding through merging traffic lanes.
The bike also has a dedicated USB slot for charging up devices On The Go.
Ergonomics And Suspension:
The ergonomics of the is pretty much familiar with its predecessor thunderbird. The riding posture is foot forward position with forwarding footpeg positioning. The riding position is relaxed sit back type the typical cruiser style.
The suspension of meteor 350 is using 41 mm front fork and 6-step adjustable twin shock setup at the rear. The rear suspension setup is slightly firm, could have been softer side, while the front suspension setup is on the softer side which leads in difficulty into the cornering at higher speeds.
Brakes and tyres :
The meteor gets the bigger 300 mm front disc at the front and bigger 270 mm rear disc. The brakes are having a good bite and ABS also performs very well. The bike gets a dual-channel ABS as standard which ensures that the rider has confidence over the bike in the panic situations. And wheelbase is also on the longer side that also helps in better stability of the bike.
The meteor 350 equipped with the Ceat rubber which gets 100/90–19 at the front and 140/70–17 at the rear. Its get a U-shaped machine cut alloy wheel setup which looks quite well with the overall fit and finish of the bike.
The final verdict: The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (ex-showroom price is 190,500 Supernova variant) is not the cheapest bike. But when it comes to its predecessor thunderbird it gets an updated engine, brakes, smoother ride, better features, new instrument cluster, the most important the tripper navigation system which is power by the google maps, the more premium fit and finish. The bike gets a whole new experience with the older RE’s is somewhat justified to its price point.
It’s definitely the head turner in the traffic and people get more curious about the machine. But we Indian have a habit of comparing each and everything with its competitor. The Honda H’ness CB 350 is also a good bike and standing head to head with this baby.

2020 Subaru Legacy Tech Dive: EyeSight, DriverFocus, Starlink Shine
Subaru Legacy Touring XT 2020 (April)
The 2020 Subaru Legacy is a near-perfect car if you’re looking for solid transportation and extensive safety technology across all trim lines. Every Legacy has all-wheel-drive, and enough driver-assist technology to be virtually self-driving on highways while protecting pedestrians in town (called Subaru EyeSight), track and alert inattentive drivers (DriverFocus), and call for help in an accident (Subaru Starlink).
The new, 2020 seventh-generation Legacy also has front cupholders deep enough to not spill a 32-ounce Big Gulp, were the car capable of a 4-second 0-60 run (it’s more like 7 to 9 seconds, depending on the engine). The engine’s “boxer” technology, similar to what Porsche uses, lowers the car’s center of gravity. The front and back rows are spacious and the trunk is enormous. Highway mileage is in the upper thirties.
So what’s not to like? Not much. This Subie won’t move the excitement needle quite like Mazda or Honda does among midsize sedans. It’s not as dazzling as the 2020 Hyundai Sonata. There’s less ground clearance than the similar Subaru Outback crossover. The new infotainment system and navigation had a few quirks, the kind a firmware upgrade typically cures, and stop-start twisted the steering wheel and my thumb a couple of times (more below).
The Nappa leather cockpit of the 2020 Subaru legacy.
The Car for Inattentive Drivers?
You say you’re a good driver; I say I’m a good driver. Yet surveys find the majority of Americans self-describe themselves as above-average drivers, which is statistically impossible. And yet, we also know people close to us whose driving skills or cognition worry us: teenagers and others in their first few years of driving, aging parents, a spouse or partner who’s had a couple of fender-benders that were the fault of “the other guy,” and people who text or create on-the-fly playlists even when they know it’s unsafe.
Subaru is a leader among automakers in making virtually all its safety technology standard across every one of the six trim lines, or model variants, of this new 2020 car. Buy any Legacy Base, Premium, Sport, Limited, Limited XT, or Touring XT and you get:
A dual front-facing camera system, Subaru EyeSight, to keep you in your driving lane, warn of / brake for possible forward collisions, detect and brake for pedestrians at speeds up to 20 mph.
Full-range adaptive cruise control as part of EyeSight.
An active driving assistance system that controls speed and lane centering, pacing any car in front of you, also part of EyeSight.
LED low and high-beam headlamps with automatic high-beam control.
All-wheel-drive for extra grip in snow or rain, or on gravel roads.
Any Legacy other than the base model has safety telematics (called Subaru Starlink) standard. Blind-spot warning is available, optional on two trim lines and standard on three; it also includes rear cross-traffic alert and automatic braking while backing up. An excellent eye-tracking driver distraction system, DriverFocus, is standard on the top two trim lines and optional on a third.
One feature not offered is a surround-view camera array that primarily improves tight-spaces parking, but it also protects you (if you watch the screen) from running into kids’ tricycles or kids on tricycles. Rear auto-braking provides that protection.
With the 260-hp turbo engine (top two trim lines only), you’ll hit 60 in 6-7 seconds. Add 2 seconds for the 182 hp engine on other Legacies.
Legacy on the Road: Mostly Smooth Sailing
I drove the top-of-the-line 2020 Subaru Legacy Touring XT, about $37,000 including shipping, with warm brown Nappa leather, moonroof, an 11-inch portrait-orientation center stack LCD, vented front seats, heated fronts and rears, onboard navigation, and immense amounts of back-seat legroom and trunk room.
Subaru lie-flat boxer engine: two cylinders go left, two cylinders go right.
With the new, 2.4-liter turbo engine of 260 hp and continuously variable transmission on the Limited and Touring XTs, it was quick, hitting 60 mph in 6-7 seconds. Highway miles went by quickly. Under foot-down acceleration, there wasn’t much noise from the CVT transmission; some testers have noted it on the non-turbo Legacy that has to be pushed harder to get up to highway speeds.
Most four-cylinder-engine cars have an inline design. Most Subarus including the Legacy have horizontally opposed, flat or boxer engines. They are effectively V engines where the angle is 180 degrees, not the 60 or 90 degrees of V6 or V8 engines. The engine is more compact, has less inherent vibration, gives the car a lower center of gravity, and allows for a lower hood and better driver sightlines. Against that, the engine requires two cylinder heads. Porsche also uses flat-six engines in the 911, Cayman, Spyder, and Boxster. The term boxer alludes not to the small crate it fits in, but rather the in-out motion of the two adjacent pistons that looks like a boxer’s fists.
Where most automakers use a combination of radar and a camera for driver assists, Subaru’s Eyesight system uses stereoscopic cameras. It’s standard on the 2020 Legacy, Forester, Outback, and Ascent; and available on the Impreza, Crosstrek, and WRX.
Pedestrian Detection Saves Another Jaywalker
Highway driving was enjoyable with the driver assists, a nicely sound-insulated cabin, very good Harman Kardon premium audio, Wi-Fi on Starlink telematics cars, and USB jacks for four people. In town, the driver assists work well; a jaywalker who popped out mid-block was picked up and the car came to a quick (sudden) stop. But spirited back-roads driving was not as much fun as some other cars in its class, notably the Mazda6 and Honda Accord. The 2020 Subaru Legacy is based on the same new platform as the 2020 Subaru Outback crossover-almost-wagon. But the Legacy’s ground clearance is 5.9 inches to 8.7 inches for the Outback. So the Legacy is fine in the rain, snow, and on gravel roads, but not the first choice in Subarus if the road to your country cabin is deeply rutted.
Subaru has rudimentary self-driving capabilities utilizing EyeSight, although Subaru doesn’t consider it to be formal self-drive tech and has no Eye-something shorthand name such as, say, EyeDrive. (BMW might not be amused.) Once activated, it centers you on a highway and proceeds at a pre-set speed, slowing for cars in front of you. It combines Subaru’s Advanced Adaptive Cruise Control feature with Lane Centering. As with other vehicles, activation is a multi-step process.
DriverFocus, on upper trim lines, combines a camera and infrared illuminator. It watches to see if the driver’s eyes are on the road ahead.
DriverFocus: Big Brother Is on Your Side
Take your eyes off the road, and the DriverFocus eye-tracker tells you to pay attention.
Subaru DriverFocus, an eyebrow module at the top of the center stack, contains a camera and IR illuminator to track where the driver is looking, and rats you out after 10-15 seconds of not looking ahead. GM’s highly regarded Super Cruise self-driving technology uses eye-tracking also.
Some driver-attention monitors count the micro-movements a driver continually makes as he or she drives.
I had two concerns with my test car: I was startled a couple of times by the gas-saving stop-start system. Occasionally as the engine came to a stop at a traffic light, the steering wheel on my test car abruptly turned a couple of inches and twice caught my thumb that was loosely holding the wheel next to the spoke. After the second time, I decided to keep my thumbs off the thumb grips once this car stopped at a light.
The infotainment system had trouble parsing some spoken commands, wanted to drive me to the intersecting street with the same name plus “Extension” at the end, and occasionally would not connect an iPhone using two different Apple cables or with Bluetooth. On sunny days, the LCD was sometimes hard to read and the brushed chrome-look trim strip around the center display reflected the sun’s glare.
The Subaru Legacy instrument panel. The center multi-information looks busy. (It is.) But it also gives the driver lots of information at a glance. If this feels like TMI, you can flip to simpler views.
EyeSight Is Improved, Still Unique
Subaru says EyeSight has been improved and I sensed that both in the ability to pick up a car ahead from a greater distance and to be less affected in the rain. In some ways, EyeSight in snowy conditions may be better than radar in that windshield wipers clear the paths in front of the two cameras. If snow blocks the radar sensor, you have to get out and scrape it off with a brush or your gloved hand, assuming the driver knows where the sensor is located in the grille. Also, snow and rain reduce the effectiveness of radar to some degree.
Subaru Legacy Touring XT, the top trim line.
Safety Features Abound
Even if you are a statistically good driver, a car such as the Legacy improves your odds of staying safe. It also improves pedestrians’ odds: A 2019 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety study found Eyesight-equipped Subarus reduce pedestrian-injury claims by 35 percent. IIHS also found Subarus with second-generation Eyesight did better than first-generation systems dating to 2010. IIHS said it found no significant self-selection bias, meaning the idea that safety-conscious good drivers might seek out safe-seeming Subarus and Volvos. Separately, IIHS found Subarus with EyeSight had up fewer rear-end collisions and passenger injuries.
How solid is Subaru on driver assists and safety technology? Here’s a rundown:

Should You Buy?
The 2020 Subaru Legacy is a solid midsize car for people who don’t need a status symbol. The Legacy wins a lot of awards but not all of them. Consumer Reports has it as the best midsize sedan and one of only 10 CR Top Picks among 300 models for 2020. In contrast, Car and Driver put the Legacy eighth behind the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and the Mazda Mazda6, among others. Guess which publication favors safety features and comfortable ride versus spirited handling? The Legacy is also a 2020 IIHS Top Safety Pick+, which means good ratings in crash tests, advanced or superior ratings in available front crash prevention, and (the plus part) acceptable or good headlamps standard.
We like the Legacy a lot, even if within Subaru this is an outlier, a sedan in a company known for outdoorsy crossovers and SUVs: Crosstrek, Forester, Outback, Ascent. The Ascent had arguably been the best midsize SUV until the Kia Telluride / Hyundai Palisade came along last year. The Legacy had been unique in offering all-wheel-drive, but the Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry added it for 2020.
The steering wheel has big buttons and rockers, all legibly labeled. If only all cars were this clear with switchgear.
Subaru is a relatively reliable brand. The car is eminently practical. From the side, though, it’s hard to distinguish from a half-dozen other brands. Fuel economy is good, an EPA combined rating of 23 mpg for the turbo models, 29 mpg for the non-turbo. Real-world mileage should be several mpg higher, and with judicious driving, the non-turbo could approach 40 on the highway.
If you’re shopping Subaru for max safety, we’d suggest: Move past the Legacy base ($23,645 with freight) because you can’t get blind-spot warning / rear-cross-traffic alert or safety telematics, and past the Legacy Premium ($25,895) because you can get BSW / RCTA, but not reverse automatic braking (RAB). Blind-spot warning matters: Not all young drivers know to check side mirrors and look over their shoulders; older drivers may know, but may not have the dexterity to turn their heads sideways.
Every Legacy has dual front USB jacks (above) and, except for the base model (below), two more jacks in the back. Note how every jack and switch is nicely and legibly lettered.
The Legacy Sport ($27,845) lets you get BSW-RCTA-RAB in a $2,245 options package, along with a power moonroof and onboard navigation, for $30,090 total. Or for $30,645, you can get the Legacy Limited that includes BSW-RCTA-RAB, and the one options package, $2,045, gives you the moonroof again, a heated steering wheel, and DriverFocus. The top two trim lines, the Limited XT ($35,095) and Touring XT ($36,795), give you nice and nicer leather, DriverFocus, and the moonroof. So the sweet spot may be the Legacy Sport plus the options package, or the Legacy Limited, at about $30K each. Cross-brand shoppers comparing front-drive-only midsize competitors should attribute about $1,500 of Subaru’s price to AWD.
The Subaru Legacy should be at the top of your consideration set along with the Hyundai Sonata, the ExtremeTech 2020 Car of the Year. If you want a sporty car, look to the Mazda6, the Honda Accord, or – this is not a joke – the segment best-seller Toyota Camry with the TRD Sport, as in Toyota Racing Division.

Royal Enfield Continental GT650 review / ride report.
When was the last time you read a bad bike review in a magazine or online? Was it the debacle that was the Bimota V Due? Even Braap’s are given a positive spin by reviewers even though they had 5 product recalls in less than a year. So many motorcycle reviews these day are either a reworded press release or a well written advertisement. Now I reckon there are two reasons for that; the sceptic in me says if the magazines don’t write a positive review, then the advertising dollars stop flowing. There are plenty of examples of that car companies having a dummy spit when they don’t win car of the year so it no doubt happens in the motorcycle world too. The other reason is that it’s 2019, motorcycles have been manufactured for a long time, manufacturers have got the basics down pat. This is were Royal Enfield excels, the basics.
I wasn’t planning on writing a review but my bike was getting serviced and it wasn’t going to be ready in time for the Perth Café Racer Run to the Hills ride, so I needed a suitable replacement. As my review of the Benelli Leoncino got an amazing 36 likes (amazing because that’s 34 more than I thought it would get once Ric and I liked it) and a couple of sales, I thought Ric might be open to the idea of handing me the keys to something else. Scanning the showroom floor at MotoMax, a Ducati Sport Classic, Triumph Thruxton, Rickman Honda and a cluster of classics caught my eye. Ric handed me the keys to a mildly customised Continental GT650. Ah well, beggars can’t be choosers.
We both had conditions, Ric’s was simple “Bring it back with a full tank you tight arse bastard and if you drop it, you bu….”. I’m not sure what he said as Peter was saying “look, look” while pointing at a lady across the road who was jogging past. It was far more interesting watching the world go up and down. My condition was the same as always, I wasn’t going to write a positive review just because I got a bike for the weekend. If the bike is shit, then I’ll say so but you don’t have to post the review.  So here it is….hang on…before we get to the review, lets get some background.  
Royal Enfield sold 32,000 motorcycles in 2017 and not many of those were sold outside of India. They now sometimes sell double that in one month with their top selling model the Classic 350 outselling all their other models combined. It sometimes cracks the monthly top 10 list of number of bikes sold in India. Royal Enfield sells more Classic 350’s in one month than all the road bikes sold in Australia from all brands in one year. Unfathomable figures when you consider the company was at the brink of bankruptcy in 1991.
When Sid Lal’s dad bought the company, nothing really changed until 2010 when the Indian Tech economy boomed and hipsters finally had some disposable cash. Sales picked up and then skyrocketed the company to the fastest growing motorcycle manufacturer in the world. The success of the brand in recent times is partly because they upgraded (think EFI, ABS etc) their Bullet/Classic line to make it relevant while keeping the looks of the old motorcycle. Boomers started realising their bucket lists were getting longer and they were running out of time to cross stuff off. Learners around the world are often restricted to motorcycles that take more time to get to 100km/h than it does for a politician to answer question in parliament and Royal Enfields are perfect for that market.
The increase in sales meant Sid (the CEO at the time) had cash burning a hole in his pocket so off he went to the UK and bought Harris Performance which I remember reading about in the UK magazines for making custom frames for GP bikes. They’ve developed the chassis for all the new models including the Continental GT Café Racer, the Himalayan adventure bike and the recent 650 twins. The Café Racer handled as good as it looked but it didn’t get many hearts racing and only sold in low numbers, hence it was discontinued after a couple of years. The Himalayan has been known to get a few hearts racing which has more to do with them being ridden where they are named after. A devoted fan base will see the Himalayan continue to be developed for many years. The real game changer for Royal Enfield though, are the two 650 twins, the Interceptor and the Continental GT 650. Royal Enfield are exporting more than they are selling domestically and dealers in Oz are selling far more twins than they are of the 350cc and 500cc singles.
I’m not a brand snob so will any bike I can get the keys to. My list of motorcycle brands I’d like to put my bum on is topped, like most peoples, by the Italian exotics such as Bimota, MV Agusta etc. For me, Royal Enfield sits a long way down that list; I’m no fan boy who gets excited when a manufacturer changes the colour and releases it as a 2020 model. I lived in the world of sportsbikes and track days so Royal Enfields never registered on my radar; I always felt they were a little weird looking. Sort of like a girlfriend I had  in the 90’s that looked like a cockeyed Nicole Kidman without the Botox. Like my girlfriend, if you ride a Royal Enfield a few times you start appreciate the attraction and you end up falling in love. Since my first Himalayan motorcycle adventure in 2013, I have ridden all of the Royal Enfield models in Australia and in the harshest of conditions that the Himalayas can throw at you and while I still wouldn’t consider myself a fan boy, I would say I was an advocaat. Damn, it’s 11pm and I’m out of beer and wishing I had a liqueur cabinet. Is there an Uber drinks?   
The Conti I got had a few subtle changes made to it. The tank hand been replaced with the rounder tank from an interceptor, bar end mirrors had been fitted and the bike had been encouraged to find its voice with some aftermarket reverse cones mufflers fitted. The bar end mirrors worked perfectly, completely vibration free all through the rev range however the bike was a little quiet for my liking. You could certainly hear it under throttle and it let out pleasing pops and crackles on a decline but I’d like a deeper, louder sound. More Tom Jones than George Michael. If you’ve got standard pipes on your bike and you’re bored with it and possibly considering a change of bike, put an aftermarket set of pipes on and you’ll fall in love again. The Interceptor tank looked great on the Conti and helped take my eyes off what I consider to be the ugliest seat in the market. For some reason, Royal Enfield in Australia decided that the dual seat would be standard and the solo seat with a cowling that is used for the promo pics, and is standard in most of the 50 other countries that it is sold in would be option for Australia. I know looks are subjective but the transformation that the single seat makes on this bike is amazing and I wonder why more people aren’t swapping them over when it is such a cheap option. Maybe it’s just me. 
I am trying to squeeze myself into my daughters Katy Perry T-Shirt when Andy arrives early on his Ducati Sport Classic. With no time for Small Talk, it was time to Roar into Leederville to meet the others. We took the back roads before getting onto the freeway and this is the Conti’s playground. With narrow 100/18’s on the front and 130/18’s on the back, the bike flicks left and right really quickly. On familiar roads, I found myself turning in too quickly and having to readjust my line which the bike did without drama. Later on in the day when the speeds picked up a little and the mercury wanted to blow its load, the front end felt squirmish when going over the bitumen that is poured into the cracks of the road. No one else felt it so again, maybe it was just me.
Our group heading to the start point of the ride consisted of a Sport Classic with Zard pipes, a Thruxton with Staintunes, a V7 Guzzi with Lanfranconis, a Honda CB1100 with an aftermarket 4 into 1 and a W650 with open pipes. It was amazing listening to all the different sounds as we lined up at the Christmas trees, sometimes known as traffic lights by boring people. The Sport Classic consistently got the jump on the rest of at the lights but the rest of us all had a turn at coming second without any clear next fastest. The Conti is styled as a Café Racer of old but it is no race bike with ligths like they were in the old days. Sid Lal himself says “…we (Royal Enfield motorcycles) aren’t going much faster than 100 miles an hour. If someone wants a quicker motorbike, go elsewhere.” During the week, the media reported that a car was hooning through the tunnel at the outrageous speed of 140km/h. The bar had been set low so there was simply no need to crack the ton in the tunnel. Absolutely no need. By my calcs, I reckon 170+ is possible but as I never break the speed limits I’ll never find out.
Riding along the Tonkin, I rolled the throttle on and off, looking for flat spots but couldn’t find any, it just smoothly accelerates all the way to the redline in a very linear fashion. The 5 speed box has perfectly spaced gear ratios and I rarely looked for a 6th like I constantly do on my W650. We joined the rest of the riders and took off along the escarpment as the pace crept up through the hills. The bike was in its element, enjoying being thrown around and asking for more. I worked my way to the front of the pack and when there was a break in the traffic I gave it what it wanted and took off. On these sort of roads, I neither needed or wanted anymore power, I just enjoyed rolling the throttle on and rolling it off coming into a corner, letting the engine compression slow me down with only a slight dab on the rear brake when needed. The Pirelli Phantoms had more than enough grip and never troubled the ABS system. I considered putting the Phantoms on my bike but baulked at the price so Royal Enfield aren’t skimping on quality to ensure they stay at the $9990 price point.
After a cool down and a group photo, we headed to lunch at Parkerville and to pay our respects to Kevin the kookaburra who had his head ripped off recently by a complete and utter wanker. As we hit the road again, I found my right hand feeling a bit tingly which is a little unusual. My bike has thicker grips so maybe the thinner grips on the Conti passed on the vibes or maybe I’m just old and the years of abuse I’ve given my right hand is coming back to bite me. The suspension soaked up the bumpy roads but my bum was starting to feel a bit numb. The seat looks flat but is actually slightly rounded which was giving me numb bum…which would have come in handy when it also got years of abuse in a previous life. These are the only two faults with the Conti GT that I could find, both of which wouldn’t stop me buying one as I’d change the hideous seat and put thicker grips on anyway. Everything else was perfect; the horn is louder than my cars, the clocks are easy to read, clutch and brake lever action is effortless, the gearbox is ridiculously smooth, riding position is spot on.
At under 10k, the only bike that is comparable to the Conti is its stablemate the Interceptor. The visually challenged Harley 750 is being run out a similar price, Suzuki threw a bikini fairing on its SV650 and called it café racer and is watching them gather dust on the showroom. The Benelli Leoncino and the oddly styled Husqvarna Svartpilen are similar prices but I doubt the circles in the Venn diagram of people interested in these three bikes would overlap.
For $13,000, the W800 from Kawasaki is another option but I’d rather have the Conti and spend the difference on customising it. The only other option is to buy a Triumph Street Twin at $16,000 and then throw some money at it to make it a café racer. Buying a bike that 100’s of other people have got and keeping it standard, doesn’t make any sense to me. If I had Triumph money to spend and the option was to have stock a Street Twin or a one of a kind Continental GT with a big bore kit, killer paint job, custom seat and a custom exhaust then it’s a no brainer. I’m in the minority though as most riders are happy with buying a good looking bike and leaving it alone. The Continental GT can be enjoyed as is but also makes a very smart choice as base for a custom motorcycle.

Photoshoot of the Week: December 30th 2019 - January 5th 2020 - Suzuki GSX-R750 & Miray
Tumblr media
Can you believe we are in a new decade? I couldn’t have imagined the year 2020 when I was a young boy. Do you remember all the movies that took place in the future and how futuristic 2020 was depicted? What about the flying cars and interstellar travels on exotic planets? We haven't gone near it so far: in a few days I'll have to take my motorbike to the repair shop, again! Anyway I don't mind at all: I believe that each and every day should be our main focus. When we do things from a place of feeling the way we want to feel, it all flows together with so much more ease. For me, my #1 goal this year was to continue the practice of strengthening my inner world – to feel joy and gratitude daily. To fully and completely feel it so deeply that happiness just oozed out of me in my relationships, in my work and in my blog, especially in these weekly posts for all of you. I’ve been working on my 2020 goals and I’m going to continue with last years intentions, which is adding goodness into my life, not setting resolutions on things I think I need to give up. But, as I decided a long time ago, there is always time for ridin' my motorbike, whether in my neighborhood or around the whole world, and that's what makes my life interesting, thus, worth living. I'm not personally interested in flying ships yet, and like the King sang I feel that 'there's so much world to see'. I think that many of you totally agree with me on this, and surely Turkish-German bikergirl and misterious socialite Miray endorses those words: you know, she never shows her face on Instagram but I bet there's a big fat shining smile ridin' around her Suzuki GSX-R750 behind that black HJC helmet! Why don't you show it to us? That smile will make all of us just walk on the moon! *** More than thirty years ago Suzuki GSX-R750's introduction revolutionized the sportbikes segment. Ever since then, the GSX-R750 has remained true to its original concept and championship-winning heritage. On the road or on the track, the GSX-R750 delivers a breathtaking combination of outstanding engine performance, crisp handling, compact size, and light weight. Its secret is an unequaled pairing of 750cc performance with the lightweight, compact chassis of a 600cc Supersport, complemented by technologically advanced suspension front and rear. The GSX-R750’s look was born and raised on the racetrack, and for its whole lifetime that styling has two new, dual-color paint schemes. Riders can choose the Glass Sparkle Black/Pearl Glacier White scheme that includes red bodywork graphics and striping on the black cast aluminum wheels. Also available is a scheme that blends a shiny and flat finish via Metallic Matter Black/Glass Sparkle Black bodywork that also includes red graphics and accents on black wheels. The GSX-R750’s fuel injected, 750cc, four-cylinder engine powers a balanced sportbike experience. This engine pulls strong off the bottom like a larger-displacement powerplant while it builds revs like a smaller mill – it’s the best of both worlds. The Suzuki Drive Mode Selector (S-DMS) lets the rider adjust the engine’s power delivery to suit the riding conditions. The twin-spar aluminum frame effectively connects the steering head with the swingarm pivot portion of the chassis in a way that balances light weight and strength. The engine is suspended below the frame to keep mass low and the wheelbase short to promote nimble handling. Compact 750cc, four-cylinder engine with a race-proven over-square bore/stroke ratio managed to produce a remarkably strong high rpm power delivery. The energy-efficient engine employs forged pistons, shot-peened connecting rods, chrome-nitride-coated upper compression and oil control rings, and pentagonal ventilation holes to reduce frictional and mechanical losses. Lightweight titanium alloy valves are controlled by single-coil valve springs to reduce valve-train mass, reducing mechanical losses at high rpm. Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve (SDTV) fuel injection uses eight fine-spray eight-hole injectors for improved fuel atomization, which contributes to more complete combustion. An Engine Control Module (ECM) provides state-of-the-art engine management and has enhanced settings to suit the intake and exhaust systems, resulting in better fuel economy and linear throttle response. Advanced, MotoGP-developed transistorized ignition control programming helps maintain more precise spark timing across the range of engine speed and temperature. Four-into-one stainless steel exhaust system with a titanium muffler is fitted with a Suzuki Exhaust Tuning (SET) valve that maximizes torque and improves throttle response, especially in the low- to mid-rpm range. Lightweight and compact twin-spar aluminum alloy frame is constructed of five cast sections to produce a balance of light weight and strength. The frame is mated with a cast aluminum swingarm and multi-piece rear sub-frame that’s ready for racetrack use. Race-developed, lightweight Showa Big Piston front Fork (BPF) delivers superb feedback and consistent performance. Single Showa rear shock features externally adjustable rebound and compression damping, along with adjustable ride height. Electronically controlled steering damper provides lighter steering at slower speeds and more damping force at racetrack and highway speeds. Front brakes with fully floating 310mm discs are grasped by radial-mount, four-piston Brembo Monobloc calipers. Three-spoke cast aluminum alloy wheels are shod with lightweight, high-grip front and rear tires for sharp handling. Three-way adjustable foot pegs, adjustable shift lever, and short fuel tank help compose a comfortable riding position that permits the rider movement required for performance riding. Compact, lightweight instrument cluster with a built-in lap timer/stopwatch and programmable engine rpm indicators to alert the rider to certain shift points. The GSX-R750 survived in several incarnations from its launch in 1985 all the way to 2016 before it was finally dropped from the Suzuki range. During its lifetime, the GSX-R750 had to see off competition from impressive rivals such as the Yamaha FZ750 and YZF-R7, Kawasaki ZXR750 and ZX-7R, the Ducati 749 and then a new generation of larger-capacity superbikes such as the FireBlade and Yamaha R1. The GSX-R was much lighter (thanks to its aluminium beam frame, a first for a mass-produced bike) than the FZ750 and its better looks and more futuristic design gave it the edge in the battle of the showrooms. The battle for middleweight supremacy waged on into the 90s and it took a serious overhaul for the Suzuki to respond to the Kawasaki ZXR750 and later ZX-7R models, but the GSX-R kept moving with the times and remains a brilliant choice of machine whether you’re a trackday addict or a road rider. #bikergirl #fastbikes #RidinGirlsBlog #racing #suzukigsxr750 #gsxr750 #gsxr #gixxerkidz #Suzuki #gsxr1000 #hjchelmets #biker #bikelife #bikersofinstagram #bikerfamily #bikergirl #motorrad #girlsonbikes #HJC #sportbike #sexybiker #Suzuki #GSX #gsxR #motard #moto #suzukigirl #bikerchick #bikerlady #motorbike #speed #roadracing #ridingsexy #girlswhoride #riderich #girlsonbikes #gsxr #suzukigsxr #motogp #moto #helmetporn
