Looks like my De Tomaso Pantera shift pattern but I know other cars also have it.

As a Pantera owner, it is perfect.

ETA: How do I get back out of the grays? I don’t post often any more because I know they aren’t seen.

You know what they say: better to have a small house in a nice neighborhood than a big house in a bad neighborhood.

I don’t post much since going grey in the great Gawker porn avalanch of (whatever year that was) but do know this: financial institutions care about nothing but risk. The rules they have are kind of dumb, but they mostly work.

This car is the face of my business. It gets attention...maybe I should put logos and stuff on it. Heh. Probably not.

I thought their society moved beyond money? If so, does that mean everyone is an amateur?

This is your beloved meritocracy at work, Republicans!

Club orange for the win!

My car is orange. I suppose that means I am a peacock...you gotta let me fly! It is loud too. Also a little stinky like fuel. I am trying to figure out how to make the surface rough so it can offend all the senses.

As the owner of a car that constantly tries to kill me and a previous 996 owner, I love this car. Do want now!

I am also a fan of keeping things stock other than reversible cosmetic things. I sometimes own things that are modified, but I buy them that way because I don’t want to be the guy to cut them up.

Agreed! I usually have a few cars and they fall into two categories:

I don’t know what my limit is, but I just paid around $6500 to refresh the motor in my Pantera...and then spent about $6500 to do it again 1,000 miles later.

Soooo, pretty much like online dating?

I don’t understand the people who complain about the 257 mile range. One of my cars has a range of 180 miles (220 if driven gently on the freeway) and I never worry about the range. Do I need to stop more often for fuel? Ugh, you have no idea.

I am surprised the families of dead motorcycle owners don’t sue. Maybe things have changed since I owned a sport bike, but mine had absolute crap seat belts and side impact beams.

I have a second gen xB. It allows me to haul around a crazy amount of stuff. Compared to my other cars, at least. Cheap, efficient, well put together, never a single issue, easy to get in and out of. I most like it because I don't want to go fast in it, so traffic is much less frustrating. It is purposefully not fun.

Meh, I have a second generation xB and like it just fine. I basically use it to haul things around in. Given up? While owning the xB, my other cars were a Porsche 911 (sold), BMW M3 (sold) and De Tomaso Pantera (will never sell).
