tony, the 2004 civic with the bad alternator from yesterday, is back and better than ever :) he feels a lot better and hes having a good time with his twin today while im at work:

i sadly wasnt able to replace his alternator myself because i needed him back asap to get to work and i wouldnt have been able until this weekend :( but it wasnt super expensive and i really hope i can do things like that in the future! i already do his oil changes and stuff and hes a really good car to learn on because parts are cheap and hes relatively pretty simple.

i also wanted to ask for an id, i saw this little guy at the store today and was curious. thank you!!

OHHHH LITTLE PRINCESS TONY!!!!! i’m so glad he’s back on the road, i love tony so much. you’re so right he’s a great car to learn on, those civics are so so good

and that’s a 2012-2017 Subaru BRZ! it was released as a joint project between toyota and subaru, the same car was released as the subaru brz, toyota gt86, and scion fr-s

tumblr should know about the Soviet race car that I had a small role in bringing to the grid last weekend

[things-about-cars-in-posts]

Well, that's a tricky question to answer! You see, one aspect of this is that how much a car with two badges reflects either brand's qualities is determined by how much work each of the brands has put in it. For instance, see the Honda Crossroad. It's '93, and Honda is late to the SUV game and needs something to sell in Japan and NZ. Now, who could they strike a deal with to get an off-roader that will live up to Honda's spotless reputation of quality engineering with perfect reliability? That is just one of the many questions they did not ask when they made a deal with automotive-Happy-Meal-wristwatch Land Rover to slap some Honda badges on their Discovery.

Just as one example of how out of line this was, it's not just that Honda had never sold a V8 before (nor would since), it's that, well, Honda was selling: - a 0.6L 3 cylinder that made 64hp - a 1.8L 4 cylinder that made 197hp - a 3.0L V6 that made 270hp And how much power was made by this 3.9L V8, to date the largest engine and only V8 Honda would ever sell? 177hp. Are you kidding me.

An example of more effort is the Saab 9-2X Aero, from a weird couple of years where GM owned both Saab and a share in Subaru and tried to pad the Saab lineup by making them rebadge both GM products and some Subarus, like the Impreza Wagon. Saab did not just shove Saab badges into Subaru oval-shaped holes: outside, all the front and rear body panels were redesigned to look Saab.

Inside, there was nicer trim hear and there, better sound deadening, more options like fancier seats and a sunroof, and the rustproofing was upgraded from "Subaru rustproofing" to "rustproofing". And the handling was tweaked to try and deliver an experience more befitting of the role further up the market Saab had carved for themselves. Many questioned whether what was done was enough to make it worthy of the Saab name (I mean, hell, the key wasn't even behind the shifter!), but you know (wait wait y'all may think I was joking, I was not joking, Saabs actually had the ignition behind the shifter), it is clear that (that's why you had to put them into reverse to take the key out, because instead of a steering lock you had a shifter lock) some effort was made to integrate the car into the brand and infuse it with its values enough to justify the badge. Saab could not claim to have fathered the car, but tried to be a good stepdad. A stepbrand, if you will.

And an example of full-blown involvement, group project, Simon & Garfunkel performance, Penn & Teller show is what Subaru made with the company GM sold their shares of it to, Toyota.

Toyota GT86 (also known as 86 in Japan and FRS under Toyota's late fellow-kids-brand Scion) and Subaru BRZ were a completely joint effort in which each manufacturer put in work both in form of engineering and of components.

And the Aygo/C1/107 is this last kind of deal.

But the other aspect of answering your question is that there are many factors that influence reputation, and reality is just one of them. Especially because reality can only influence reputation if you know it, and not even I knew, say, whether they used Toyota engines or PSA ones. Turns out both! The petrol is Toyota and the diesel PSA! But the petrol engine was developed by Daihatsu, which, wait, is a subsidiary of Toyota? I somehow either missed or completely forgot that! And also, that diesel engine was codeveloped by Ford's European division and Mazda so that should factor in as well! It's one of those frustrating situations where the more you know the less sure you are. Because of course, most people will not hear about the news of a Toyota-PSA joint venture and, while it may defy my belief, many people are genuinely not going to notice that those three are in fact the same basic car, so some people will have gone to a Toyota dealership because they heard they were reliable cars and oh look a small little car that is the kind of thing I want yeah that'll do, never even knowing Citroën and Peugeot were also selling it. Hell, some people may even have cross-shopped it with the PSA cars and figured that the Aygo must've had some more Toyota in it than the others so Aygo it would be. You know, sometimes you've gotta stop and recognize that, for how hung up we get on reputation, it is just meant to inform us of what really matters, the truth. And apparently reliability surveys rated them best in class. How great.

P.S. for those wondering what a "56 plate" is: Non-custom UK number plates specify the year of the car they are assigned to. While from 1983 to 2001 they used a letter in front, skipping some for special cases (like I and Z for Northern Ireland or Q for unknown date) or to avoid them being misread (O could've been 0 and U could've been V), from then on they used two numbers corresponding to the year, 02 for '02 and so on. Which would date @izzydeadjet's car as a 2056. Hm. Oh right, to be more specific cars made in the later half of the year add 5 to the decade, so 06 for early 2006 and 56 for late 2006, 16 for early 2016 and 66 for late 2016, so on. As you might notice, however, this system will become ambiguous in the 2050s. Normally I could accept that whether a car has x years or 50 more than that is something you could ascertain by just looking at the damn thing, but Morgan and Caterham show that if there's a country where that may not be obvious it's Britain.

See, this is why y'all follow me. Where else are you going to see a lapse in foresight from the UK?

so, I found out about the fact that apparently the fiat panda, has been getting 4x4 variants today.

and I thought them to be too interesting not to share them with the world. Which was the moment I realized that you may be the best way of doing that, as you probably also have some cool, and weird facts/opinions about this weirdly amazing, and surprisingly cool looking car.

Indeed I do, and I wrote them up in this post! And if you feel bad about not having seen that post and/or thought to search for Fiat Panda on my blog (we are assuming that the search function would work, though, which as I found is not at all a guarantee even when you explicitly search for a tag I have used verbatim), worry not - as not only are you going to get more Panda words out of me than you could possibly have asked for, but you gave me the chance to post about an incredible detail about the original Panda I had forgotten to mention there!

See, there are cars where the front and rear windows roll down electrically (not electronically, by the way, those are two different things) as standard. There are cars (yes, even today) in which the front windows roll down electrically as standard, but the rear windows that roll down electrically are an optional extra. And then there was the Mk1 Panda, in which... all the windows were manual only, you might guess I'm going to say. But no: surprisingly, they were offered with optional electric front windows. The rear windows though?

You got a hinge that opened up this much. Now, I should note this is not that unique, such windows have been used by cars as upmarket as the Accord Aerodeck and as modern as the first generation Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107/Citroën C1 (they were the same basic car), and even some minivans for the third row seats - it's what you do when space or other constraints make rolling the window into the body impossible; and having been in the back of an Aygo I can also attest that they are reasonably effective. So no, the Mk1 Panda is not the only car that had such a rear window. However it is the only car I know of in which it wasn't standard. That's right, the Fiat Panda was so goddamn basic that a manual rear window that didn't roll down was an option. Absolutely amazing. I love this car.

Washington approving I-976 is one of the dumbest things we have done in years (decades?) and if it isn’t overturned in the courts it WILL cause a transportation funding crisis. With our investments in light rail and bus rapid transit, things were truly looking up for reducing congestion in Western Washington, and we had done it ourselves without raising taxes on people outside the service area. And it got wiped out in one night, thanks to a dude who stopped stealing chairs from stores long enough to throw together a statewide petition to overrule it. Governor Inslee has already halted any new infrastructure projects and ordered agencies to stop any nonessential spending.

We’ll eventually get the money we need, but we’ll have to do it by raising sales taxes, gas taxes, property taxes, etc, and not before traffic gets much, much worse. None of those mechanisms are as transparent or accountable as our car tab system, which has line-item breakdowns for what your money is going to fund. All hurt working families more than wealthy people on their third luxury car.

And in broader news SUVs are terrible buy a station wagon or a minivan if you really need the space. I want a brz but I don’t have money

(Photo 4 of 4) Bonus shot of Aura’s MX-5 and preview of the other cars. If you like pictures of modded cars, you should see the Speedhunters site. They got a bunch. Some dude turned the rusty remnants of a classic Jaguar into a fire-spewing drift car. I think that was “Project Purist”. I’m sure you can find it. That aside, Bree’s truck wrap got moderated and removed, so I redid it, but I’m not sure if it has the same charm as it did the first time. Ah well. All these cars are a bit unfinished to me, but this is what I got so far. I also have been increasing the performance on the MX-5 and now it can take on supercars (statistically speaking, except for the overpowered Regera, those aren’t fair). As for whether or not Aura can actually use this thing, should she come up a bit short, I stashed some brooms, small and big boxes, and rope in the trunk so that she can just pull a Short Round and use her imagination to reach the pedals. Just don’t tell Bree about that. I think she’d pummel me over that. You know what, Imma just take my virtual BRZ for a long drive. I won’t be around for awhile. Heh (._.") L8r! *speeds away*

It is with tears, sorrow and a heavy heart that I share the loss of a fan and friend of the Nozarashi Racing Team. @jack_chow86 wrote me a year ago while fighting ruthlessly against cancer, and inspired me to no end. Despite my hardships of chasing my dreams, he showed me how much of an impact I had on others, and how I inspired them. It gave me a sense of purpose and a higher calling, to not want to let those like him down, those who are suffering and fighting, trying to heal and grow. The fact that I was able to contribute to his life, to give him something to look forward to, was immeasurable to me… Ivan, you were an amazing man: an amazing father, an amazing friend, and a wonderful 86 owner. I will miss our talks, and I will miss your soul. Rest in peace, and know I’ll carry on to inspire others fighting hard like you did… If nothing else, I’m glad you got to see the new project car before officially announced, and didn’t leave you wondering. Until we regroup, brother… #NaturallyAspirated #Nozarashi86 #restinpeace … . . . #HotVersion #InitialD #MFGhost #UrbanOutlaw #Speedhunters #IAmTheSpeedhunter #ハチロク #ホットバージョン #土屋圭市 #JoyOfMachine #hachiroku #FRS #BRZ #zn6 #gt86 #ae86 #ae86club #トヨタ86 #Touge #Racecars #Trackday #timeattack #ngkracing #falkenspotting #greddy #greddyperformance https://www.instagram.com/p/B_O1_YMnRZY/?igshid=ijt9r655q3th
