In loving memory of Paul Walker. You can now officially import a 20-years old, or older, vehicles in the United States. What this means is that you are now allowed to import a Japanese-spec Toyota Supra in the country and not risk of being chased by the police.

More On Paul Walker: I Am Paul Walker Documentary Premieres August 9 Paul Walker could return in Fast and Furious films via his brothers This particular car is manufactured in April 1993, which means it has just hit the 25-year mark.

Don't have the money for a LaFerrari? Here's an alternative solution. It’s currently about 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-16 degrees Celsius) in Lithuania and it’s been like that, mixed with good amounts of snow, for the last few days.

The footage was shot by Donata Bugiene and shows her husband working on the project, which took him approximately two days to finish before the final touches and the paint were applied.

Title-winning Super GT team set for Toyota split
Gotemba-based squad Team LeMans won the GT500 title earlier this month at Motegi with Kazuya Oshima and Kenta Yamashita , adding to the All-Japan GT Championship success it earned back in 2002 with Akira Iida and now-team boss Juichi Wakisaka. It has been a fixture in the Toyota and Lexus stables since the 1999 season, when it first campaigned a Supra in the JGTC, but sources have suggested to Motorsport.com that a split between Team LeMans and Toyota could be imminent. Keizo Takahashi, General Manager of Toyota Gazoo Racing, told Motorsport.com when asked about the situation: “I can neither confirm nor deny.” It’s believed Toyota still intends to run six of its all-new GR Supra cars in SUPER GT’s top division next season, raising the prospect of a new team joining the Toyota camp. KCMG has previously been linked to such a move and appears the most likely candidate to fill the breach left by Team LeMans, given its existing relationship with Toyota in Super Formula, where it … [Read more...] about Title-winning Super GT team set for Toyota split
