    Last night I was downtown, in Toronto, with a buddy, discussing cars over two nice cups of Americano. We were playing some soft ambient jazz, sitting on the patio of a popular cafe down near Yonge street. The atmosphere of the city was sublime - you could have taken a spoon and scooped up the elegance emitting from…

    “The cage”.

    Fuck you.

    Needs less burning clothes and more Porsche’s.

    There’s never enough 911/356’s.

    So what?

    Ricer.

    Stanced and tucked:

    This is VIP, Yakuza-style. I think that Yakuza-style looks clean and a little sinister. I do not think anything tucked and stanced looks mad tyte... In fact, I hate both.

    Not attractive, my ass.

    People always ask me if I fuck cars, since I love them so much.

    I’d vomit too if I was forced to look at that thing, let alone ride in it.

    All I’m saying is that a + x - = negative, and + x + = +.

    That’s it. I’m not trying to make mechanics out to be some sort of assholish’ sort at all.

    I’ll repeat what I posted in another thread earlier today (and yes, I was young and stupid, at 19, for believing this guys opinion):

    GM doesn't deserve shit.

    Also, mind what you read on the threads about “distance driven”. The fact is (and I have a friend whom is an advanced metals engineer) that aluminum fatigues regardless of use; the carbon molecular structure of the aluminum is prone to breaking apart and weakening it, especially in engineering applications such as the…

    These haven’t really climbed too much. Also, most people don’t know, but there is a 30 year aluminum fatigue life for them - which means that by 2020 many of the first year models will need to be completely refreshed before they become banana boats.

    Still has a ways to go before it starts climbing in value. Possibly another 5-10 years. But when it does, it’ll be the stock, clean, well looked after examples - not the heavily modified, riced out, JDM Tyte’ yo LS swapped cars.

    I remember when these were unloved and selling for $45,000 in 2005-2006.

    I also remember when 206 GTS’s were selling for $75,000. I can’t even to begin to imagine how much they go for now... or how often they trade hands.
