If you believe apparel is an expression of you, then good rule is: If you’re not in it, don’t rep it.

Fantastic, all my life my buddies and I have described Italian cars as you just did (we mostly said hookers with herpes). Hot and exciting - until something flares up.

Thank you for sharing this!!! I had no idea about this event, and I live locally.

What’s the warranty?

+1. The auto industry lost me at plastic bumper covers, and further lost me at computer nannies.

David - if you’re talking with Ford... FWIW, I’ve leased my 3.5L Ecoboost’s because they don’t have start stop, also because they have an actual mechanical emergency brake (instead of a program that applies the ABS pump as a parking brake - which is NOT an emergency brake). I promise there’s no one towing heavy loads…

I had that exact car here in the US. Henna red 635. Had a silver one too.

Orlove knows his stuff, but here’s the explanation the article probably should have mentioned for the lay: what he probably means by the brakes “working” is that they’d grab with friction that the driver can modulate for “threshold braking”. Here’s the deal, in this application, with those rotor and pad combo’s…

Seriously right. With $150k, he could be smart and lease a Porsche GT3 and let the interest on the principal balance pay for tires and 3 months of payment each year. Otherwise he should wait, collector cars are far overvalued right now.

Chinese win when you buy a new Volvo.

Full VR from viewer’s choice of anywhere, e.g. bumper, in car, grandstands, aerial, etc. might just save auto racing in the USA.

Some black people are more prejudice and discriminatory towards police, than they are towards other uniforms like fire, mail, and military. Imagine that.

^ agreed. They could have forgone dinner and waited for a safer opportunity, at least like in the restroom. I “believe” a safer option would have prevailed, instead of using the perceived opportunity of 3 glass walls. Impatience endangered everyone. I’d be pissed if this happened at my business.

Porsche did their best to bury this, and it’s been almost 20 years now. I remember when the Stuttgart marketing guys came to LA and I shared what we found out. I haven’t replaced one of these in years, you’d have to go into the supply chain info in the Porsche’s SAP and track manufacturer codes - I don’t have access…

It wasn’t Porsche’s engine. It was Fuji Heavy Industry’s. (Subaru engine).

I understand it, they’re garbage, always were and always will be. We call them Toy-orsche-ru’s for good reason. It’s also the most non-Porsche since the 924.

996 is the 2nd worst Porsche of all time. 924 is the 1st. 996 is a Subaru engine with a Toyota transmission (Aisin (don’t misread as Asian), total garbage 6 speed) with Toyota engineered interior of snap together plastics. It’s horribly non-serviceable, and under performing. It’s just garbage.

Yup, Model X is a minivan.

Directly from Mecum “ this GT2 Evo is exactly as it left the factory, an unmolested artifact from one of the most exciting periods in Porsche’s racing history.”

For same price I’ll build perfect matching 5 of these - including a couple factory race bodies without street vins too, and no one unless they ran provenance would know the difference.
