Sorry Torch, just SO wrong. This car looks like a fat chick in a bikini - trying to be a 911 when its just not. Everything behind the front doors looks like it was slapped on as an afterthought just so Porsche could have a 4-door offering instead of starting from a proper blank sheet of paper. The new drawings of the…

COTD!

This looks SOOOO much better than the standard Panamera.

Am I EVER going to get ungrayed???????

Agreed with all of the above. Why would ANYONE want to own a butt-ugly car that you have to ship to a special facility to drive at any substantial fraction of its capabilities and that basically costs you 5 figures for the wear and tear on the hinges just to open the door. If I can’t drive it, then it should at least…

Bring it down the road to Providence! (Wait, R.I.’s roads suck. Driving an F1 car through the city would be suicide.)

My ‘72 Midget still had the chrome bumpers. The rubber baby buggy bumpers came some time after that.

My dad (who had owned a ‘63 Sprite) taught me how to, literally, “tune” the dual SU carbs on my Midget using a piece of siphon hose. One end of the hose went in the neck of the carb, the other end went in your ear and you dialed the mixture in until they sounded the same.

My very first car was a ‘72 Midget. Bought it for $250 in ‘79 and spent 6 mos. before I got my license: pulled the engine, replaced the clutch, re-built the SU carbs and the lever-arm dampers, all new brakes, lots of rocker panel rust repair and topped it off with a Mustang-red paint job and white stripes. If I…

Nice price assuming $5,500 is the “ask” and a reasonable negotiation follows.

Just because something’s over 20 years old and in nice condition doesn’t mean it’s a valuable collector’s item. How many bazillion of these trucks did Toyota make in the 80's.

Get my un-grayed Jason!

I just figured the test would just involve standing outside of Cars ‘n Coffee events and waiting for the Mustang owners to leave.

Doesn’t Mustang Owner pretty much cover it?

CPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPCPC!!!!!!!!!! $20K? What is this guy thinking? The only way I’d pay that much for this car would be if it came with $10K of Krugerands in the trunk!

It is precisely bureaucracy. EPA is complying with the letter of the rule rather than the spirit of the rule. This is the same thing that private attorneys do when their clients want to do something that clearly violates the spirit of the rule but, thanks to a misplaced comma or the use of ‘or’ instead of ‘and,’ they…

I see this sold at $10,200. I was going to say that IF it had a manny T, THEN it might rate a NP at something under $10k. With the slush box though? Not so excited. I can find something better to do with 10 large.

Not sure anyone could legally hold the rights to a term like “spider” in this application. It is a recognized style of car just like a coupe, sedan, saloon, cabriolet, shooting brake ... etc.

How do I get un-grayed???

I’m all for less pollution, but this seems to be a pretty small source to target for reduction. Frankly, if you want racers to address pollution, get them to do it through fuel economy. I think requiring race teams to work on limited fuel budgets makes racing more interesting not less, and it brings a lot more minds…
