Cosmo

Hey guys, my aunt just picked up her new 07 plated corolla ascent. And might I add, quite a nice car! However, there's just one small gripe with it. The antenna scrapes the garage door on the way in. Is there anywhere that I can get a shorter one?? Cheers!

When did you get your P's? Just recently? If you got them before July 1 2007, engine mods ARE allowed

I'm pretty sure the article said it had delivered 5 cars, and they had 20 or 30 more orders in queue

So where are those pictures??

not to mention fords and holdens will break down all the time. Have we forgotten the problematic typhoon? I reckon its a reasonable price to pay for reliable performance.

Looks like an awesome car, but what disappoints me most is that even a sunroof and sat nav is not standard on the 3500SL. It's meant to be sports LUXURY and Toyota's Highest spec model atm (Lexus doesnt count here <_<). Not to mention no HIDs...

I was thinking, and then it hit me. The car show doesnt even use filters on their cameras.

The first and second ones look a bit funny. Third is awesome though!

Worst show ever. HOWEVER! if you guys recall DriveTV on channel ten a few years back hosted by that stahly dude was a blatant rip off top gear. They had a studio with the cars, with a live audience. AND they had a masked dude called "The Chip" who did powerlaps. The chip? Huh? The stig? But man! Shoulda seen his powerlaps, he was powersliding all over the place... oh yeah, definintely the quickest way to get a car around a track.

ABS is the best material for drift tyres these days :)

There are many cars out there with stock HIDs, Aurion Presaras, Liberty GTs, Mazda 6 MPSes, the list goes on.

Nah, not a dumb question. The only dumb question is a question not asked! Anywho, HID is High Intensity Discharge. They're headlamps that are supposedly more efficient (I think?) and are way brighter so you see better at night. They also look cooler because they're a whitish blue light, rather than your usual yellow. That's why HID lights are better. The SX6 doesnt have HID lights, only the Presara does in the current Aurion lineup.

Great lookin car! Nice plates too btw

Maybe use a hammer.
