Of course, all this lack of things isn’t cheap, so the 911 R will start at $184,900, minus the $1050 destination charge.

Moreover, upcoming 911 racecar engines are 9A1-derivatives, not Mezger derivatives. The Mezger had a helluva run, but it's no more.

... but we do know that supposedly all examples of the 911 R are already sold out.

I’ve gotten a lot of “Cars aren’t semiconductors/electronics” replies.

Simple. As demand increases, production increases. Manufacturers of components devise ways to build those items cheaper to A) initially increase their margin (to cover initial R&D costs) and B) lower unit prices to undercut competitors (to increase market share as they trim margin down to previous levels). That cycle…

Had one (NC-1), can confirm! I very rarely used the in-door bottle holders, and that was to hold the drink while I was driving so I could drink it at my destination (never while driving).

I believe there is one pick-up truck on the market (in Super Cab version) that technically has thirteen cupholders. 13!

The Nissan 350Z (not sure about the 370Z) has five cupholders. Two in the center console, an in-dash popout, and one (more of a bottle holder) in each door.

But will instead most of its time slowly cruising by the entrance of your local mall, equipped with light bars, trying to pick up underage girls.

This is completely incorrect.

Theme: A little bit crazy.

A number of co-workers gathered at the crash site Tuesday night, where they remembered Smale as fun-loving and full of life.

Porsche offers carbon fiber floor mats as an option, and they’re cheaper!

First, I think people should chime in on how Porsche exhaust notes have changed between the 981/991.1 and 982/991.2.

Audi claims it saves 0.3 liters for every 100 kM when tested in Ingolstadt traffic.

I remember driving down the road to see driveways with $200K of cars in front of the garages that were stuffed with boxes.

Years ago I moved into an apartment community during the beginning of the financial crisis.

So the R129 SL600 was offered between the ‘93 and ‘02 model years. I’ll highlight good changes in bold, less preferable ones in italics. I say 1997 and 1998 are the ones to go for (because OBD-II port in ‘97), with 98's offering larger diameter standard wheels for 500s. Make sure they have the hardtop (standard), and…

You’re thinking of the R107. The R129 is the boxy one.

Interestingly I’m considering an SL600 in a few years as a daily driver so the Boxster Spyder will only be used for funsies and track days. However, it’s not an R230 with an M275 like this, but an R129 with the M120.
