Im sure they’d love to stock replacements for modern infotainment that accommodates all the features and has good integration, but someone has to make them first...

you can still upgrade a lot of them but you’ll break the integration and/or lose features.

those days have come and gone for the most part I think...  cars have too many features now and too little center console space.  plus it’s more expensive to build.

we had Booster’s purple trucks that filled up our cars when I worked for a big tech company.  it’s more than a regular gas station but sometimes, the company subsidizes it and its cheaper than a regular gas station.

Lego car would have the worst crash ratings, and high collision insurance costs as an accident would cause most of the car to shatter into 100,000 bricks.  parts would be cheap but labor to put all the bricks back together would be prohibitive.

i know a guy that bought a MacLaren GT over a Ferrari F8 Tributo because it fit his golf bags in the cargo hold.

The 911 is far from a stripped down fun car. It’s a luxury GT with a ton of features standard and enough options to double its base price without moving up to an S. So I wonder if I had a $140-160k spec Carrera S or GTS, would a Macan T make for a good daily driver, with a sporty suspension, good gas mileage, and not…

doesn’t the T have a bunch of stuff that’s optional on the S? So unless hp is the end all be all, the T might still be a good value right? so apples to apples, is the T worth it?  like, if you already had a 911 in the garage, would the T make a better daily driver?

It’s not as bad as you think- you could probably get into an early vantage for about that much. but maintenance on a A-M is pretty high. At least with an SL or a 6, you can get maintenance and repair almost anywhere metropolitan and there are enough of them that engines are shared with lots of other cars and parts…

that would need to be per year. I looked at buying a DB9 before settling in on my 911, and the maintenance costs swayed me. TCO was like 3x of the Porsche.

that’s beyond meta...

It’s in the SF Bay Area, so it’s more likely a niner’s fan, or a player or executive- a fair amount of them live in that area. I once almost rented my condo in that area to an Oakland Raider before they moved to LV.

obviously a Niner’s fan. or, if they live in San Ramon/Danville/Blackhawk, maybe a player or an executive.

I see a little Deadpool in that front end... or maybe How to Train your Dragon.

I read about this elsewhere and the person did pay the owner what he really owed for the gas because he felt bad for his neighbor.

There WERE plans to make Corvette nameplate into a full line manufacturer with sedans and SUVs at one point...

I don’t care about dealers as long as 1) it’s still illegal to collude, and 2) the process makes it easy to pit them against each other.  I think #2 is the part most people don’t yet know how to do.

most likely, it was a game of what can we prove and do the costs outweigh the outcome... no jail time because no admission of guilt and no criminal trial.

I hate it mostly because the “savings” has to be given to Tesla still.

Stealing $20 is petty theft, a misdemeanor.
