The Powerhouse Amuse Toyota Supra (JZA80), famously known as the "Bottom-End Torque Monster," is legendary. Its focus is real-world balance, sharp throttle response, and agile handling rather than chasing massive peak horsepower.

My 6 year old nephew found a ring more valuable than any single item I’ve found metal detecting while using $1500 worth of gear. Granted he doesn’t manage it every time he goes out searching, but the kid finds this stuff just by looking on the ground. I’m baffled.

The Savanna RX-3’s Upset Victory! The invincible GT-R was defeated by a ‘lower-class’ small Mazda rotary-powered car. The GT-R’s winning streak stopped at 49 consecutive wins, and the one that prevented the 50th was the Capella Rotary. After that, Mazda’s 100 consecutive wins became legendary.

"Trans-America Ultra Quiz" (America Oudan Ultra Quiz), was a legendary, large-scale comedy game show on Nippon TV from 1977 to 1992. It combined high-stakes trivia with chaotic physical challenges and comedy, pioneering the iconic Japanese variety show format of "harsh punishment for big reward."

The ‘jellyfish’ in NASA’s Mars rover image appears to have a single pixel 1-colour, solid black, double strike line across the artifact. Minor antialiasing and compression has very slightly blurred the lines.

My point being, whatever is in the photo is more likely what is under the double strike lines, rather than the lines being part of it. Furthermore, it appears to me this is not the first time a single pixel ‘strikeout’ line appears to have been drawn onto the raw image. I can only surmise this is either a cosmic ray artifact in the camera’s CCD itself, or, as I tend to believe instead, it is a markup artifact in the image accidentally uploaded as raw data for public view when it was in fact meant to be edited out. The line/strikeout’s colour is in my view likely an alpha channel colour (full saturation, RGB) used in internal markup raw data post production documents to easily identify areas which need to be edited. This is something I might do in a working document when editing a photo.

Was metal detecting at English Bay when I dug this up. A BC Electric Transit Token! Not Translink I realize, but its early predecessor.

Such control. With the right driver at the wheel a Miata / Roadster can make a tight course like this one appear breathlessly easy.

36 years ago at the CARBOY Doricon GP, legendary classics like the Hachiroku (AE86), Silvia, and 180SX were running in the mix, but the E30 M3 swooped in to take the win. 🏆

I came across an oddly placed and positioned stone in the forest. I’m sure it has a prosaic explanation for being there but could it possibly be a treasure marker of some sort? Located on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Going back a few years to a day when I went to a local JDM dealership to catch the arrival of this lovely Lancer Evolution being unloaded for a customer.
