toyota gotta stop with the bad named cars. LFA, that name for 86 concept, and now the FT1. if its not an affordable sports car not interested, because once the price comes up, its becomes an over-complicated, heavy, hard to repair/mod, luxury swollen POS.

shieeet, i didnt think they were considering load shedding today. retailers gonna have to ream customers next bill.

price went from around $50MWh wholesale, to $750MWh yesterday. interstate generators gonna make a looooot of moola. Alcoa (portland and geelong) will probably call off most work tomorrow. save money and take some stress off the grid. if the desal was running it would probably do the same (lol)

One of the guys at work said they shut down one of the phases at his place.. turned off the air con lol 33% chance

[TiTAN]

if its commercial aircon, was probably 3 phase anyway, 100% chance of it turning off.

[CrispyFries]

His place = his house

[Borci88]

The FT1 isn't the name for the car that it's going to be, it's just a placeholder "Future Toyota 1".

I think it looks quite awesome, but it will be closer to the 6 figure mark unfortunately.

yeah? why did they not upgrade the generation capability when they could have?

[L33SH]

Cot damn...or carpe diem?

Seize the day, Birds.

[TiTAN]

there is many days to seize, why must it be this one?

[Miguelone]

But it's not specified which day to seize. Or even if it's singular or plural...

[emts]

They both look awful, new cars are terrible.

Understand old cars better looking and cooler.

but the hassle with daily driving one is a bitch,

Day I bought my mustang, had it parked middle of the day in Bouke street CBD for 30 min whilst I ducked into work.

Badges gone.

had 6-8 badges stolen, antenna (seriouslly wtf) fuel filler cap, multiple mirrors,

and when the cost to repair the paint damage froma badge is more than the badge as they ripped a screwdriver down the side of the car, it jsut not worth it.

my ideal daily is small, manual, cheap to run.and good visability

I was looking at a VW up to be honest but holding out for a year or so to see what is coming out atm, if I they do a S16, I'm on it like a fat kid on a twinkie..well like me on a twinkie anyhow.

[Sunkist]

just for aaron as posted to drift sales last night.

You should've seen the spider wondering around the garden in lanka.. The thing had 8 legs, + two more legs that had like lobster claws.

[emts]

lanken crabs very popular in Philippines

[Sunkist]

Nah, googles spider with claws

[xALmoN]

scylla serrata is the mud kreb that's most commonly available, the same species that's in australia, and sri lanka.

[xALmoN]
