    I have a GR Yaris and was going to get a Golf R before the GR came along.
    After driving both I believe the GR is much better for its driving experience. You feel so much more connected to what the car is doing under you rather than the numb feeling the R gives you.
    The R may be quicker but it certainly doesn't give you the same feeling in yer loins as the GR Yaris.

    The lunacy of the price of vintage gaming is due to companies who acredit said items inflating the prices when rating them. There has been a tonne of controversy surrounding collectors conspiring with acreditors to massively inflate the price. Not really the same as the supply and demand argument. Our fellow Aussie and absolute legend Goldeneye speed runner, Karl Jobst has done a great video on this.

    Moog, the batting sleeve is very simple: bat with a heavier bat, to create more inertia, so that when you do bat, you naturally create more force/speed which equals a big, satisfying pop.

    Prices of used cars are nuts, especially large 4wd’s. Bought my patrol 1 month before the spicy cough hit Australia for 12k, and at the height market price indicated 100% increase. All it means for me is my insurance premiums go up as intended always to keep it long term and do a 4.5 Cummins swap on it when the zd30 pops.Same for my classic fords. No intention of selling, I enjoy them too much to sell. I feel for all those that have increased premiums because of this and having to pay more to hawks cashing in on original parts.

    As for car cruises vs. car meets vs. working on a car with mates, absolutely working on a car is the more enjoyable experience for me. I find at car meets the really modified cars that have had heaps of work done to them don't attract as much attention as stock cars + cut springs + expensive wheels. Car cruises can be fun but because the speed limits are so crazily enforced here I'd prefer to go to a track day.

    In the UK, I had a GR Yaris for a year and 8k miles (13k km), took it on the NC500, did 2 trackdays and it was great but nowhere near as fun to me as my S2000 and therefore it has been sold for exactly what I paid for it. Can't fault it for free motoring but I think rally cars are less my thing and RWD sports cars are more my thing.

    One thing to keep in mind with the increase in used car pricing. Make sure your current car is not underinsured. Adjusted my insurance for my 350z as they valued it at $8k but good luck finding any 350z second hand for that price. On average, 350z's are going for $15k.

My son & I are doing up a couple of 75 Galants! love a road trip but not as much as I love spending time tinkering with cars with my boys ;) it's really a freaky that the Charade is a "Charade" LOL PS did you chech that the Crank case ventilation line was clear (PCV working & not blocked) ? Helps stop oil leaks! looking foward to the road trip :)

    On the topic of talking about Tesla, and the announcement of their new Model 2... Elon has stated before that the model names spelled words. This was back when there were only 3 models.
    So Models S, 3 (originally wanted to be called the E), and X. Sex.
    add the new Model Y: Sexy
    And now, the new model 2.
