Going to school in Boulder, CO between 2007-2011 it was cool having a Tesla dealership in town seeing these things drive around. Neat to see how prevalent they’ve become since then.

Seems like these absolutely badass WWI era beasts are making a comeback on the car culture scene. Is it just me or has this been a recent thing in the past couple years?

My apologies good sir. I’ll take a look at the link in the morning- sounds interesting.

You should do both at the same time. The thing has fully locking diffs though which is pretty cool. Not that he’ll ever use it...either way there will be more egregious sports cars in his and my future!

Interesting. I don’t really think it’s simple reasoning as there are lots of variables that aren’t common sense, like the contact patch of a train wheel. If the 252 mm^2 above is correct, assuming that a 1 mi long train has 100 cars, 8 wheels per car, that’s about 200,000 mm^2. Google converted that to about 300 in^2.…

Goodness, we have come so far on interior design as a whole. Some of those “luxury” interiors in the 90's to early 00's were shockingly ugly.

Source?

Well you decide: he previously had that CC (4mo VR6) in the background and has been doing much more hunting and fishing lately and wanted a truck of some sort. My mom said she preferred he didn’t get a pickup truck so he got a 2016 Cayenne. Base model, silver like his 911. For an SUV it’s neat but he had to sell the…

I’d love to drive it. what’s the deal with the hood though is it off just for show or do they not ever have one on?

In this case, being “that guy” is why we read and comment here at Jalopland.

Haha exactly. I hope we keep the 911 forever. The Viper was really exciting to drive and I loved it, but he had to sell it to afford his daily driver. I’m not going to go into detail on what he bought but you’d be disappointed. He’s a true jalop though so I let it slide.

Nice to see a classic with the proper upgrades. It’s hard to justify modifying classics too much but my dad turned his 86 911 into a bit of an R Gruppe. Bored from 3.2 up to 3.4 l, Mahle pistons, cams from a 964, fancy exhaust with not much in the way of mufflers, modern bilsteins all around lowered about an inch,…

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by driver feel, but a $25,000 wagon or sedan basically designed for rally racing is not going to have the sharpness of what looks like an E46 M3 (?). I had my wrx while in college in colorado and if you haven’t driven the car extensively in the dirt and snow, you’ll never know what…

This guy is a fucking maniac in the best way possible. In the middle of the second video did he go wildly off course in the dirt and jump back on the course?

That’s a beauty man. I had a 2002 wrx wagon from 2007-2012 and I miss it dearly. I drove the snot out of it.

Well that’s the consequence of your actions.

Haha no worries dude. I just felt like being that guy stating what you obviously knew...we all have posts from early in the day that we regret.

I don’t think anyone thought you were kidding. You don’t need a sarcasm font, you just need to be better at sarcasm.

I prefer the 2016 STI.

Hahahhah it’s a unique place isn’t it.
