Honestly, if I had stupid money, I’d buy this car in a heartbeat for that kind of money. I love(d) that movie back in the day and in this day too.  How cool would it be to roll up to a C&C in 1 of the FB replicas? 

How did I not know this exists?  I fear for my checking account now!  

Did you even read what I wrote? “It isn’t about the stopping power of an individual braking event, it’s about managing the system over the course of the entire race.” How many times have we seen a driver knocked out due to a brake issue such as a rotor exploding? I’m not saying it happens often, but it is certainly a…

Brake systems are about heat management. The greater surface area afforded by the larger disc will allow greater cooling and better control over the cooling. It isn’t about the stopping power of an individual braking event, it’s about managing the system over the course of the entire race. A larger disc/pad combo…

It’s been discussed before, so I’ll keep it simple. The tire is an undampened spring. Engineers hate undampened springs. Will it take time to get things dialed in? Yes, but the move to the bigger wheel, shorter sidewall tire is good, especially for the brakes since you can run a much larger disc now.

OMG, ignore the dividend? Then you’re speculating which I do agree is gambling. Re-investing that dividend is a key part that makes it investing instead of speculating. Yes, there still is risk, but that doesn’t make it gambling.

I get it. With my ‘06 Mustang GT with the notorious 2-piece spark plugs, when it came time to change the plugs, I bit the bullet and let the dealer handle it. I just didn’t want deal with a stuck shell in my driveway hoping I could extract it properly. Time to let the Ford dealer that’s dealt with that 100's of times…

Ambivalent is the perfect name for a Prius of any variety, let alone a concept such as this.  I like hybrid drivetrains, but the Prius is such a dreadful car.  

The exception being the other 99% of stocks that are appropriately valued. “This generation” that is leaning anti-capitalism is doing so because they don’t understand how the stock market and capitalism work. There is nothing wrong with ignorance if you’re willing to recognize it and make an effort to learn.  Instead,…

But that’s not true at all. Most stock prices reflect the value of a company based on sales and profitability. We keep talking about Tesla’s stock because it does not follow any traditional valuation model, if it did, it would be less than Ford’s current price of $9.20/share.

I’d love to see bias ply tires again. Love the old days with the cars crabbing a bit and little slippin’ and slidin’ that didn’t kill lap times.

Neutral: Unintended acceleration has happened to me. Size 13 feet with work boots have caught a bit of gas along with the brake pedal more than once. Fortunately, no crashes/property damage ensued, but for the split second as you’re processing what is going on as you’re trying to stop is quite the pucker factor.

2nd Gear: My biggest issue with the UAW is how they want to benefit from the flow when things are good, but be protected from the ebb when things are bad. These contracts are loaded with protections for the line workers so it isn’t a simple process for the company to trim labor when it’s not needed. Oh, this car isn’t…

That’s why I’m shopping 996TTs now. I want that 3rd pedal. Spend 50ish for a new American muscle or get a 15 year old German hot rod that should at least hold value. 

Umm, if they lived simpler lives like their parents and grandparents did when they were young, they too can afford the basics for a comfortable, but not luxurious, life just like their parents and grandparents, then get the nice shit once they’re in their late 30's and on as their careers have progressed, just like…

Neutral: I was doing the classroom portion of driver’s ed the week I turned 16. Got my temps the morning of my birthday. Finished in car training over the next couple weeks and had my license less than a month after I turned 16. That was about as quick as it could go back then since you couldn’t get your temps until…

A W-9 seems quit doable, or even better, upscale Honda’s MotoGP V-5 and make a V-9.

Sorry to hear about that. At least you have a plan on how to still have some fun with your passion even if it isn’t how you’d wish it could be.

Well, consider that the take rate for the manual on new cars now is much lower, so even though demand is shrinking, the supply is as well (on the used side). When you look at 911s, especially the newer 991 generation, the % with the manual has gone way down and the prices reflect that. A PDK car is cheaper. A local…

I doubt it. Not that many were built and in a nation of 300 million+, you’ll have enough enthusiasts to keep prices high regardless of generation and whether they grew up with a manual or not. My Gen Z step-son (born 1999) wanted a manual and is loving the MT Mazda 6 he got recently.  Also, don’t forget that the Gen X…
