I like the discussion that this has brought on. Anyway, I see what you are saying Poodles. My question here is, even though we are adding more "stuff" to cars for safety and convenience, the technology must have gotten up. I mean, we still have Moore's Law, so the electronics should be getting...

I agree that the cars made nowadays are much easier to drive. Having come from 60's and 70's cars, I like being able to plug a computer in and diagnose or 'tinker', not to mention just being able to hop in and drive without having to pump the gas or sit and wait because the engine is so cold...

Well, there is this. http://jalopnik.com/driving-volkswagens-261-mpg-car-is-like-driving-the-fut-582194948 It is funny looking, but it does get good mileage. If only they could make a car that looked like a regular car. I imagine that carbon fiber body isn't cheap either. Honda came out with...

You are on to something there. You just have to compare the original Challenger and Camaro to their new ones. They look bloated in comparison. Some stuff is nice though. ABS has been a positive thing, so has fuel injection. I'm amazed at the gimmicks that companies put in their cars. I see...

I guess it is something that really bugs me. I mean, I believe that auto companies CAN make very fuel efficient and fun vehicles. The two shouldn't be mutually exclusive. With having the large amounts of R&D money most large auto companies have, it should be easy. Maybe it does have to do with...

Now that we've moved to a place with TV, we have to sit through commercials. There is one thing that really gets under my skin though. These commercials for crappy little econo boxes are advertising 40 miles to the gallon fuel economy like it is something to be proud of. To give a bit of a...

Sweet. I have a bunch of people wanting to buy the cluster setup when I start building them. Demand for this one has been quite high though. I need to figure out a way to make it as fair as possible for everyone once I do decide to sell it. A lottery seems to be pretty fair though.

You'll buy what? Sorry, I am kinda buzzed off some apple pie and just took an ambien.

How about "best budget build"?

Hahaha! Well we will see what happens. I wish I could just sell the car as one. I hate having to take bits off the car. It's like I'm parting out my wife. (Top gear reference)

Yeah, that would really screw me over if only like 3 people bought a raffle ticket though! Especially if the tickets were like $5.

You know, that is an idea! I'll see what he says. He wants to buy it without the digital dash though. I guess I could swap out the harness, dash, and fuel sender and sell that separately as a plug and play setup...

Well, I got a guy coming to look at buying the Supra Saturday. It's his only day off. I guess that means I'm not going to see you guys down there. :(

I dunno dude. Just set a date and I'll see what I can do. Don't plan it around me though. If the 25th works for everyone else, just do that.

DAMMIT!!! I just looked at the calendar. May 25th is Memorial Day weekend. We are going to be in Moses Lake riding the Dunes that weekend.

Well, I might be able to make it...maybe... I'll have to have a For Sale sign on the car though.

The original day works for me.

I can't do it in June. We leave the 13th for Dallas. The 2 weeks before that don't work either.

Yhatzee, if I'm thinking what I think you're talking about, I don't think that sensor will work. The sensor that he needs is a funky shaped off-white one that snaps into the back of the dash. I found this image on the interwebs:

Well, I'm Dane. Nice to meet you Steve. I wish Toyota would at least unlock a couple things for us. I have the Mini VCI cable and the Techstream software but it doesn't really let me do a whole lot. Hopefully they will come out with a version that runs on a 64-bit PC but probably not... As...
