Nah, it was too cheap of a car to have a tach...but the engine was VERY wound out in 5th gear.

Then you get those weird manufacturers (especially Porsche) who somehow manage to negatively affect resale value by having too many options, such as sunroofs, rear windshield wipers, and any other creature comforts that add weight. Porsche counteracts this by charging for option deletes, an amazing way to make money…
If it weren't for federal rules banning them, I'd likely have bought a BRDM for personal use long ago.

True story, and you're right, the speedo only goes to 85 on a Sprint. It was circumstance and horrible judgement that allowed this particular speed run. I was in high school at the time, and had done the usual stupid high schooler mods (lowering, air dam, side skirts, etc). I had taken the car to 85mph before on…
My Dad used to campaign one of these as a "gentleman racer" back in the late 50's and early 60's.
I bought my 993 for $27k a couple years ago...it is possible.
Actually, the most EFFECTIVE way to fight the law would be to organize and collectively ignore the 25 year rule *en masse*, and then defend each other *en masse* from authorities who try to come take them away. If those in power won't serve your needs, than you must seize the power away from them. It's the…
As an owner of two of the cars on this list (Exige and Atom) I must heartily disagree with the premise, unless by "terrible to own" you mean "terrible to own as your only daily driver". The only two downsides I have with the Exige are ingress/egress, and the too high risk of parallel parking it on the street…
Sultan of Douche: So incredibly douchey that he has a permanent friendship with the douchebaggiest company of all, Ferrari.
Douchebag Paradox: Driving a super flashy car with the most ridiculous wrap that absolutely SCREAMS "LOOK AT ME!" then trying to cover your face and play the humble victim when people do gawk at you.
This reminds me of the time I launched a large turd zepplin into my tighty whities during a fart contest when I was in college. So embarrassing, yet so funny.
Hilarious that of all the picture comments so far, only one of them actually has anything to do with the 996 pictured...and that one post is an insult to the 996. LOL
Sweet...the newer, better looking Volt will further drive down the value of the used first gen Volts coming off lease. I look forward to the boon of buying a really great used car at a really great price.
Clearly meant to be driven by an astromech droid, not a human.
And cops wonder why people want to run away from them or have no respect for them anymore. Probably because John Q. Public now knows that chances are high that they're going to be (at the very least) jacked around by the police, or have their property stolen under false pretenses & accusation.
Nothing will happen to…
Texas is really an oppressive place trying to spin itself as a center of freedom. They're also revoking registrations for previously allowed cars like the Ariel Atom in the state. Anti-fun, indeed. Screw you, Texas.
Giorgio, why did you vomit in the passenger seat?! Now we'll be late for the Abba concert!
Toyotabarus are shitboxes when tracked, always breaking down.
