The All New Toyota GT-86

Ever scene I saw this car at the 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon, I wanted it. I saw it yesterday at the LA Auto Show, but was a bit disappointed because it was the same concept car that I've been seeing the past year or two. From the news that I've heard about this car, it will be a car on my list to get and maybe retire the GT-R as a track car... NOT! Hahahaha. Anyways, enjoy the new footage that Toyota released and tell me what you think.


some info about the car:
2.0-liter boxer with D4-S injection (direct and port injected)
197 hp @ 7,000 rpm and 151 lb-ft (205 Nm)@6,600 rpm

AMS GT-R Jacket

Just in time for California winter. My AMS Alpha GT-R jacket made with the finest materials from Columbia Sportswear Co. came in the mail today. I'll be warming this light weight yet so warm jacket almost everywhere I go including trips up to Mammoth this season.
