    At least the tire looks salvageable.
    If you can't measure it, you can't understand it; if you can't understand it, you can't control it.

    Prediction: eventually someone with an on-call attorney will sue Toyota/Scion for this since their commercial shows this car able to effortlessly drift through turns.

    Reminds me of the day after opening night of Tokyo Drift. There were a ton of fresh tire marks all around work since we're next to a movie theater. Best were the ones on the onramp that went into the wall.

    Does not look like MS paint. Must be dent there or something which a body shop drew on. There is another circle by the door handle.

    I heard one the other day, and they actually sound really good.

    That would be a nicer set of numbers if it were from the factory and not stretching the max potential.

    What effect does that have on the reliability/lifespan/warranty etc. I'd be happy if toyota/subaru released a kit that could achieve this performance and still maintain warranty.
