So $.03 a month with some interest thrown in?

They’re beyond a blast, I had high expectations with mine, but damn. It really needs some twisty roads to have fun, but when you find them it can keep up with cars it should have no business being around.

1/3 of the usable space is definitely the truth. My Fiesta ST carries just about nothing, however I look at it as a feature coming from an SUV regularly used to help friends move. Beyond that the car does exactly what it’s supposed to; get me to work and hound faster cars in the Hill Country.

First Gear is basically me.

I’m so glad you said this, that’s exactly how I felt on both fronts.

This is unfortunate, but I can certainly see it. Perhaps Porsche was just trying to get back to their roots. (mostly just looking for a picture to post this beauty)

I was thinking the same.

As you should, but that M3 is something to hold onto unless you just get tired of it....and if you do you probably just listen to the V8 and change your mind.

Link or it didn’t happen.

I was hoping this might be the case. Your reply got it stuck in my head right away regardless.

This seems like a good bet, bonus points for actually coming in at the budget.

They want a manual.

This popped into my head, sorry but I had to.

Of course you missed her acknowledging she didn’t miss it.

I was thinking this exact thing. I would have been concerned if you didn’t recommend the Viper.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. When I originally said it I was thinking it would likely need to be a 996 or Boxster to make the budget easier, but was surprised at 997 prices. While they would have to look at ones with slightly higher mileage, they could still get a Carrera S.

Haha I’m just being unproductive. And you certainly didn’t go wrong with that choice. I’ve just always been surprised at how capable the Ridgeline is (and always triple check when I read specs).

......A Porsche?
