Here's the thing... and please pardon my $60k salary, but if one has the means to afford a $200k car, doesn't it stand to reason that another 65k for a proper supercar shouldn't be too difficult to cough up?

Hahahaha. Suck it, commies.

I drive by a block of section 8 houses everyday on my way to work. What kind of cars do you think they drive? 745li and a S500, which are always parked in the same place. They either can't afford to fix them or the owners don't have anywhere to go in the morning, like idk, maybe a JOB!

You're assuming that I would have enough of a conscience to pay people a fair price and wouldn't take advantage of the working poor in order to make a quick buck...

Ran out of gas?

Uh, Tavarish, just to jog your memory, you did THIS to the dash of said S500:

I was reading along and lightly nodding in agreement, then got stopped dead, and couldn't finish. Did you say the coil pack cost 1500?! A COIL PACK is FIFTEEN HUNDRED dollars?! The things that modern cars usually have one of per cylinder whose sole purpose is to make the spark plug, well, spark? If that isn't a typo,…

I manage an AutoZone (yes, ugh, AutoZone) in a pretty rough part of town (the fucking ghetto) and I have to deal with this all the damned time. People trying to look "Baller on a Budget" makes my job an absolute headache. I get everything from people in Magnums/Chargers/300Cs claiming they have the Hemi and inevitably…

Am I a car whisperer that has hands made of magic?

To explain what I mean, allow me to recount what happened two weeks ago when I visited Land Rover of Cherry Hill, an excellent automobile dealership in New Jersey that specializes in apologizing to angry rich people.

Like the guy said, tortoise and a hare.

Next time your driving over an asphalt road, look closely at it. As long as it's not brand new, odds are the first minute failures you're going to see are on the joint (where one pull of the paver butts up to the next pull). They usually start there, because it's an area that is the most minimally compacted area (like…

So cheap roads are fine for cars but not semis?
Hmm, how is that any different than what I am saying?

$30k for the turbo, but it's already hit it a few years ago. It's on the up currently. The regular 996 is around $15k or so, among the lowest of 911s, mainly because of the design and IMS bearing issues.

What actually bothers me here is that we're missing the best chance in a while to raise the gas tax, which is something we desperately need to do. All of our highways are funded by a gas tax and, while cars get more efficient (or electric), the amount of money in the pot to fix roads goes down, even as we have more…

I like how 2 out of the 3 pictures are the back of the car...because 996 droopy headlights. Even still these things are wicked quick so most people are only going to get a rear view anyway...of dem hips. I remember watching an episode of Top Gear where Jeremy was talking about how this will do 40-60 in like 1 second.…

The thing is, the shifts just don't quite feel quite that fast. I'm sure they really are, but in terms of the speed of a gearshift, it just doesn't seem to be as instant as a dual-clutch or even the ZF8, the reigning champion of torque converter-based automatics. Still, it's good enough that I'd place it third below…
