Sir Patrick Stewart is the Sexiest Bald Man Emeritus. The trophy William got is a framed picture of Sir Patrick Stewart in a toga from the 70s. Not from a movie, just him hanging out in a toga on a random Thursday.

I find it hilarious he is worked up about $500. That was barely the control arms and ball joints for my Volvo - and that was good aftermarket parts, Volvo OEM would have been considerably more (and not as good).

He’ll scrounge some used tires and throw them on as is his habit. 

It’s amazing how quickly things add up. This isn’t an issue unique to getting 55 year old cars running. 

I see my love-hate relationship with VW is going to continue well into the mid 2020s. Fantastic. But this thing looks incredible, and notwithstanding my angry, semi-coherent, rants about how I’ll NEVER BUY ANOTHER VW after Diesel-Gate, I’m sitting here thinking I’d probably put a deposit down on this thing.

Grossly generalizing and talking out of my ass, i would guess its the combo of disproportionally male, white, suburban, military educated guys who make a career out of following regimented checklists and procedures everyday, and have greatly inflated self importance and egos to go with it. It all factors in their…

Sure, but then your bumper will be left unprotected.

This is the way.

Would be cool to give it a colonial viper livery...

Can you convince Rory to let you buy the kit and put it together? Because that’s a series of articles I would absolutely love to read (assuming they aren’t in slideshow format of course).

I voted NP b/c I guess it’s a fair price. But personally, I couldn’t be more uninterested in ever owning something like this.

The Wild Wild Wild Kratts!!!! I can turn almost any frown upside down just by saying that!!

That red interior with the orange exterior does not work. Saddle brown leather would have been a much better choice.

Beautiful car.

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that the car is angled into traffic and the wheel is turned waiting for the opportunity to make the left turn?

Did you watch the video at all? she linked it at the time stamp to show all the turns. The sketchy one was the last aborted left turn. The system didn’t detect a truck AND a truck towing a boat as a moving target (yellow designation instead of the blue in the other attempts) and was literally about to pull in front of…

Hope Dr. Seuss is still OK to post here!

That automatic transmission is what got you a screamin’ deal. If I have $20,000-ish to spend on a 911, I’m asking myself “is this manual transmission worth $5k of fun?”. My personal answer is yes, but YMMV. 

The turtles breathing through their butts one is currently a top five conversation piece in the Buck Buck McFate household. It’s finally gotten warm enough to where we can hike near some creeks, and I’ll ask little McFates (ages six and three) to look for turtles awakening from hibernation. Then one of them gleefully…
