60 press photos released and not a one with the trunk/hatch open, or a shot of the cargo area. This is the best I could see:

I think yesterday I was reading articles on both the new Z and the refreshed Toyotabaru twins, and I got them mixed up. The BRZ and GR86 are the ones that look like hatches, but aren't.

I've raced a twin. Fun little platform. They're a supercharger away from being a blast.

They shouldn't be calling it a Wagoneer without fake wood accents.

Huge Barn Find Discovered And Filmed By Trespassing Teens

https://www.motor1.com/news/526995/teen ... ssic-cars/
The vehicles in the building spanned the period from the 1920s to the 1970s, including a Ford Model T and Citroën DS. The first floor alone included a Chevrolet Corvair, 1952 Chevrolet Styleline, Fiat 124 Sport Coupé, Simca 8, Renault Dauphine, Morris Oxford, and Hudson Hornet. All of them were complete, and the license plates indicated they hadn't been on the road in decades.
On a second floor, rare vehicles were on wooden planks that appeared ready to collapse. The machines included an Austin A90 Atlantic coupe and convertible, Chrysler Airflow, 1938 and 1940 Ford coupes, a 1951 Ford van, Standard Vanguard, Renault Gordini, Ford Consul, Ford Taunus, and even a three-wheeled Goliath pickup truck!
They washed the Fiat 124 Sport Coupé and put it up for sale for R$65,000 ($12,372 at current exchange rates). A truck removed the Citroën DS and Renault Dauphine from the site.

If there's a bright spot from this, it's that the new owners can return some of these vehicles to the streets and take them to car shows, so that people can appreciate them.

@dodint: Great news - Your favorite Wheeler Dealer, Mike Brewer, returns in two weeks. Marc Priestley is the new mechanic, as they moved back to England.

I don't know how I missed it, but Edd China has a YouTube channel of his workshop that looks pretty interesting. I miss having him on the show, so I subscribed.

While I did like Ant, I'd be lying if I said Edd wasn't the perfect compliment to Mike.

Say what you will about BMW drivers, but they at least have a general sense of time and space. Rude, reckless a-holes, but they stay in their lanes, don’t f around on their phones and don’t have poodles on their laps while driving. I trust that they won’t kill me and I respect their need to feel alive.

Mercedes drivers however…they buy a high performance car but dont know how to make it go faster than 35mph in any setting and are generally unaware they they’re driving a death machine. It’s the car you think you’re supposed to get when you’re rich, but have possibly never driven any vehicle in your life before.

I drive with purpose, which is what I believe shmenguin was getting at. Look at a scale between the wandering of the Mercedes driver and the uncontrolled Mustang hooner and you'll find a happy medium where I reside. ;)

Without looking it up, do you know who popularized the word exactomundo?

Never watched happy days. But I know the references.

But wasn’t it “correctomundo” or did Fonzie have domain over all the mundo’s?

The fact that two models are called the "PsychoBlaster" and the "Jackass" I think demonstrates the intended market for such devices. Might as well call the other four the "Redneck," the "D-----bag," the "Florida Man," and the "Compensating For Something."

I'm not sure there is anything more obnoxious than custom horns. They are even worse than flying the giant Confederate flag from your truck bed.
