Getting close. Cut that in half and we’re talking. I’m not taking a loan out for a 6 year old car that I’d imagine is somewhat expensive to maintain.

How long will it take for this to depreciate enough for us desk monkeys to afford?

Again... rare is literally all I said. That’s the start and end of the criteria here. I’m not sure why you’re dead set on convincing me to argue with you about something else besides rarity?

To answer your rhetorical question, yes, I can differentiate different models of the same make. No one is talking about one model vs another. We’re talking one make vs another.

Well I didn’t say 911s, I said Porsches, as in the make. And no I wasn’t considering SUVs but if we want to it further proves my point :). In my suburban group of townships alone I’ve seen, in just four weeks here, one regular old 911, a fooking rad GT2 in teal with yellow calipers, six or seven Boxters, three or…

Shame. Pretty much any Ferrari driving around is picture worthy for me.

Obviously any largeish city like Columbus will have it’s share of rich executives/firm partners/business owners/etc in the “high end” areas of the city as you say. By “midwest”, I’m referring to the 99% of the midwest it that is not a “high end” district in one of the handful of largeish cities, since when someone…

Was going to say the same thing.

What does that have to do with my comment?  Did you reply to the wrong person?

No amber markers on the front mirroring the reverse lights on the back. 0/10 symmetry, would not buy.

If that’s the case, Porsche can mail the royalty checks to me. :)

Source needed.

Agreed, and 185 is the starting price for the Turbo S according to this article. I’m sure it’s easy to get over 200 ticking some boxes.

Somehow I don’t think “Overclock” will look as good in a script font on the bumper/sideskirts.

A couple years late, but finally proof that major OEMs can build a Model S rival just as compelling in style, execution and performance*.

Suspension, wider track, engine tune for more power, modern transmission, and looks like exhaust (at least the tips).

Those add up to a pretty big change in how it drives I bet, but “minimal” relative to the price tag.

Sounds like a good way to go. If/when I ever get around to audio, I’ll get the most factory-looking unit that I can as long as it supports bluetooth for Spotify streaming.  For now though, I’m cool with the V6 soundtrack :)

I have nothing to contribute to the gas station part of your anecdote, but wanted you to know that I actually knew where Skagway was because I played a shareware version of The Yukon Trail on my grandpa’s computer back in gradeschool. I feel this was important to share.

Agreed, the article mentioned only minimal performance changes, and surely nothing as extreme as drivetrain like I mentioned. I guess my point was that updating anything is futile in the sense that it will need updated again at some point, and I just gave an example of one way people are updating cars for use now…

I’m 14 years removed from a 101 class, so maybe I’ve forgotten some things, but 70+ people got the gist of what I was saying and 500+ people got the gist of what the guy I agreed with was saying. You seem to be pretty defensive about the subject which doesn’t really lend itself to rational discussion, but feel free to…
