I’m guessing they have their reasons, but I wish TSA would make it more apparent when they were testing something at an airport. I flew twice over the last couple of months out of Portland And they wanted tablets out of bags. Then on my return trips I would be standing there saying “should I take out my tablet” and…

Exactly. The logic here is infallible.

An XK8 with hail damage is the right choice. $7200.

Seems to me you should get your hands on a H3 to compare. Smaller, lighter, smaller engine for better fuel economy, spare wheel out back, manual transmission available. I probably would never buy one because of the way they evoke disdain but who knows...

And just to flush out your thoughts... I wouldn’t trade my non-running(though very close) 996 with a 3.2 from a Boxster S for this.

Yella, but where’s my third pedal?

I used to drive my 944 with the lights up 90% of the time. I liked the look.

Want to settle for a built 275hp 1.8t?

It’s what made the RCR review of the 944S so hilarious. It had giant, heavy wheels, with oversized tires, and apparently a vacuum leak. And he is complaining about how unquick the car felt. That car felt slow because of poor choices and maintenance, not necessarily because a car with 175hp and that weighs 2850lbs…

I’ve read and seen dyno readouts that show a hot cam does great things for the 8v(peak hp about 15 higher and achieving it just a little higher in the rev range). It is the one thing I wish I would have gotten to do for my car.

Depending on what you want from your car, it’s not uncommon to see decent driver cars for $3000. Maybe they’ll have a respray, probably dash cracks, and ac won’t be perfect but they’ll run and drive and shift and brake well, a last known timing belt change and decent clutch.

Mine had a steering rack that the owner had grabbed from a pic n pull that he said was “much better” but was still not without a little drip drip. And my sunroof also was hit and miss.

This all rings about right for me and my experience in owning one for a year. Lots of similar takeaways. I liked my 944, it was very connected to the road, great on backroads where you could keep the revs between 3500-5500, and surprisingly useful. I never loved mine though. I think a 944S may have felt a little more…

Because oil harvesting has always been so clean, environmentally friendly, and conflict free...

I’m gonna say modern GTO for the fun car. The non-hood snout cars are pretty tame looking, which fits his sleeper desires. And they are pretty spacious for a coupe. Nice part is, virtually no depreciation, and should be plenty reliable.

Just a friendly reminder that when you pay attention, it’s not that drivers or bikers break more or less laws. It’s that they break different laws.

I bet lots of people would accept the consolation prize of them fixing the infamous torque dip. There are a few companies out there with cat equipped headers that do it. I don’t want this to be an ad, so I’ll leave the company out of it, but there are a few people who have found headers and a tune to solve that blip.…

I like that version of the corvette and it reminds me of a thought I had recently. I can’t wait for 5-10 years from now after everything has been gran couped, and liftbacked, and sportbacked; when things come full circle and car makers start advertising their unique and classic looking flat, rear deck, trunked, cars.…

Non luxury subcompact. It’s rivals are the Fit, Fiesta, Kia Rio, versa, Mazda 2... I don’t think any of those cars would have wowed you.

I don’t think disappointing is fair for this car, especially the first gen, it’s a small GM car that regularly is rated at or near the top of its class. Until the Fiesta St came out, it was probably the best offering in its class. Most reviewers found its steering feel, handling, and speed on par or better with…
