The most important metric for a Taycan buyer is range?  Do you hear 911 owners complain about MPG? I think you’re missing the point.

Love it when they state the car is very reliable but there is a long list of new items.

No, IIRC the 2.5 was was 2006+

The 9-2x was a great deal. Bought one of the last ‘05 Aero’s (cold and premium packages) for $21500. Had to call about 10 different Saab dealers to get that deal but finally found one is St Louis. My local dealer is KC wouldn’t go under $23500.

Had a 5 speed Camry wagon but it was a 4 cyl. Great car but the engine blew before 200k miles. Surprising. Don’t think it’s quite a unicorn but my Volvo 765 turbo wagon with a 5 spd is rare.  And a lot more fun.

Is there a point to the new format? Seems backward now, for no real reason.

Nice, still looking for a ‘96 Park Ave Ultra. Probably still sitting in a retiree’s garage but I will find it.

I see more 90's Buicks than probably any other kind of car. I would guess that the people that originally bought them drove them less than the Accords, Civics and Camrys which have all been driven into the ground and rusted away

I made my parents rent The Road Warrior on laser disc at least 20 times.

That and the center tablet. Seems like they are learning the wrong lessons from the model 3.

I have a 1990 Volvo 765 wagon that is similar to this car. Dude I bought it from put close to $18000 in it and it was almost perfect. I think I bought it for $5000. He was halfway through a 240 remodel and was spending similar money on it when he sold my car. The world needs people like this to save cars that would

IIRC the SC430 was the last new car available that had a cassette deck

You probably have a .00001% chance of seeing one in the wild.

That makes sense.  Did their requirements change since last time?  Pretty sure the Charger is basically the same except for cosmetics.

That is interesting, thank you. CHP are the only ones I know of that use push bars. They don’t around here at least. I wonder why

Have not heard of any major police agency going from the Explorer to the Charger, do you know why? IIRC the police Chargers have some long term durability issues.

My Aunt used to have one until she rolled it down the side of a mountain.  She was fine, the Pantera was not.

The Pantera and the NSX will always be my biggest regrets. Could have bought decent examples for +/-  $25k when I was looking for a fun car 15 or so years ago.  I bought a one owner P1800 which I loved but it wasn’t like the other two.

Hate it when people ask me for advice on a car to buy and then get some POS instead. Still incredulous my parents bought an Aurora instead of an LS400.

I read an article about how car mags usually test cars awhile back and IIRC it isn’t really a drag race between two cars. They have a device that they attach to the car and it measures the time from when the car starts moving to the time it hits 60 so reaction times don’t factor into the number.
