I think I read that as well, but makes some sense - trying to act while also trying to drive very fast through very narrow streets would be crazy.

Yeah, its nice, but my friends and I prefer to go Ronin in the D2 model...

Hamilton rams Rosberg, knocks both out....only thing better would be to have Alain Prost hand Hamilton the championship trophy...

Is it just me, or is Bob just one drug bust away from becoming this generation's John Z. Delorean?

I am talking about the cause of the split between CART and IRL, which IMHO is what doomed CART (old school, pre split CART I should clarify). Could probably write an entire book, and people have, on the IRL/CART split, but a big aspect of the IRL/CART split was the issue of cost control for teams and increasing the…

Its not like there isn't other, lower cost options for racing. Trying to cap costs to keep "smaller" teams in is what doomed CART

it was a base model, but was one of the best cars I have owned, sans being horrible in winter. Had it 12 years and only thing that ever broke was the alternator would die every four years...

CP....it's a Crapola Corolla!

Maybe a moot issue, in the sense that anyone with any sense would have any such car on winter tires in the snow and would also would be driving it carefully.

I don't rely too much on consumer reports, but they did state in a recent article that they don't feel that rust is too much of an issue on modern cars, as they say that they hardly get any reports of it anymore. Then again, I don't know if CR even surveys people who have had their cars for over 5 year or more (where…

I have a question for those who know a lot more about 911's than I do (which I admit, is not much) - is a RWD rear engined Porsche in slick conditions a trickier beast to handle than say a RWD AMG or M with the motor in the front, all else being equal (i.e., same tires, driver skill, etc.).?

Since the issue of rust came up, question - does Porsche have some ridiculously long corrosion warranty as well? I read in a newspaper article that its 12 years, unlimited miles. If yes, did they have that warranty in 2006 so it would apply to this car?

Agreed...just dug this up to emphasize http://jalopnik.com/lets-settle-th…

Wish I could find a non convertible one, as I like the coupe better with its big rear bay windows, but this convertible looks to be in fantastic shape.

Does it come with a moustache?

Not at all...I drive my RWD AMG in the snow all the time...I guess I should have said that the AWD would be a nice bonus to have in the snow.

Agree entirely.

Excellent point, M&C, and one I practice - I have an AMG I drive in the winter with snow tires. RWD doesn't mean you can't drive in the snow, just get the right tires, take your time and be extra cautious. Actually, even if you have AWD or 4WD that is sound advice. Snow tires are a must if you live up north, and I…

I take the point of view that its a trade off of potential rust issues vs. not driving the car for 3-4 months of the year. Yeah, rust is bad for the body of the car, but its fixable. Leaving the car site for 3-4 months of the year is not good for the engine and other systems, and that can be a lot more complicated…

Nice! AWD for the winter as well, so don't have to put this toy away when the snow falls!
