    Thinking about Top Gear's H982 FKL, I started feeling like getting PH 1941 if I should ever be getting a vanity plate for a Japanese car in the US.

    Can work in other situations. Russian/American/British car in Germany? B-LN 1945. British car in Hongkong? PRC GTFO. Chinese car in Hongkong? PRC 1997.

    How come cars don't offer an aux port anymore? It was like one of the best inventions for music in cars since the Cassette.

    The Bugatti Divo has been released...


    It looks like a Veyron modified by Micheal Bay.

    Becasue there's a whole range of other options out there. The head unit I have in my car supports pretty much everything: AUX, Bluetooth, USB, SD cards. The only thing it can't do is control a phone through USB. Hardly a hardship, if you ask me.

    It would probably look a little better than what the Divo came out to be.

    That new DBS Superleggera looks better than the Divo in my opinion, now that I think about it.

    probably not, most of them are set to need factory reprogramming if they get disconnected like that

    your immobilizer is probably dead so your car is pretty much a giant paperweight, I think most of the time you need special tools to disable most security systems, I remember when radios had THEFLOC systems and you had to ether enter a code found in the owners manual or the dealer had to do something with it, I don't really know since I have almost never done anything major on a car any newer than 1994, the only post 2000 cars we have are a 2000 firebird, 2004 silverado and a 2014 sorento but none of those ever needed major work that we did at home, the firebird had it's A/C system replaced shortly after we bought it a few years ago, the truck has been issue free since we got it 7 years ago and the kia is under warranty so it costs the same to have the dealer stop harassing us for maintenance as it would for us to do it at home.
