So its better to get a PRE 1996 R29?

Thanks for the replies guys. I am even more confused now LOL. SO many conflicting answers. So is it better to get a R129 AFTER 1997 or BEFORE 1997? Which is the most reliable year to get that wont have the wiring harness degrading issue and other issues?

Question: Aren't these the ones with the bio-degrading wiring harnesses that deteriorate and cause all sorts of electrical faults? Or was it the generation before these? If so how easy of a fix was this? These are getting pretty cheap and tempting.

Serious question(s). Will these manned fighter jets be obsolete soon due to the advancement of drones that can take more g-forces and are not limited by human in cockpit endurance? Why do we need manned aircraft? Are drones able to "dogfight" or will they need to to be able to?

Looks a little like a Elise with a body kit.

Serious Question. It has been awhile since I have seen a dashboard cover on a car. Have they gone out of style like sheepskin seat covers in the 70s and 80s? Do you still see dashboard covers around?

Is the Audi TT just a reskinned VW Golf? Or is that just folklore?

Its not the paint quality per say, just something about the body panel design shape or something. They just do not seemed as refined. Take a 2010 Cadillac and put it beside a 2010 Mercedes of the same class and category, for some reason the Mercedes has a more timeless look and a richer feel just from the outside.

Is it me or is there something about American car body panels and paint that make them feel less expensive compared to the Germans and Japanese? I cant put my finger on it but cars like Cadillac the Corvette and even some Fords just seem "cheap". I do not know if it is the shape of the body panels or the paint, its

The answer is Easy. EVERY Generation and EVERY SPECIAL EDITION Miata.(well if we count EVERY special edition that would be more like 100000 of them, but still MIATA!!!) PERIOD!!!

What if you buy the base one to later equip it for racing??

How expensive are all these little LED lights and lenses going to cost if you get in a minor accident??

Dont get your hopes up it will hold up to the NSX name. Look what they did to the CRX successor. NOT EVEN CLOSE.

I dont know would a Subaru Forester be considered a "station wagon" then?

Mini is made by MINI. That's the name of company. That company is part of the BMW Group. Like Chevrolet is part of GM. Do you say a Corvette is made by Chevrolet or GM? The badge on the MINI, is the Mini Cooper badge, NOT the BMW roundel.

This does look more newer/modern in black than Dougs (now sold) red one.

Hammer Time:

Any Audi. Great cars to drive and be in but damm things add up when they start breaking.

Is it true that the reason these are not high on the "Supercar" status is that they were too much car and pretty much undriveable? Heavy clutch and too much torque to drive daily and no practical electronics to keep them from sliding off a corner? Good for fun and track days but not nearly as refined as a porsche,

WOW!! How common is the problem of the pump catching fire? I have an enclosed garage and if it caught fire my entire home would be on fire. Do you have a link to where the relay is and what to replace it with? I am seriously considering one of these and saw and test drove two today. Now I am worried that these W220's
