I didn’t know until now that there could ever be a car that would make me prefer a Rauh Welt Begriff 911,,,

How does an 1/18 scale 348 drive and handle? Or did I miss the joke?

Don’t get me started on ink. I sat next to a girl this weekend who had all of the cliche boxes checked on one arm: sparrow, lock and key, butterflies that looked like kids’ temporary tattoos...

I try not to wish ill towards others, but in the case of this entitled brat, I’ll make an exception. No cops in the US would stand for that abuse, nor should they. Try that here and they would cuff him first then find something to bust him for.

In first!

That is one sexy beast and pretty much the only new car that turns both my and my wife’s heads in car-jaded LA traffic. I’m glad you mentioned the depreciation, which should indeed be right up (or down?) there with Infiniti and Lincoln, ensuring a place for the F-Type on my “someday” list.

“Pounce.” I see what you did there....

No beatings? No shootings? Impressive restraint. DPS!

Looks like something really great to break after the warranty expires.

Even as a former owner, I didn’t even initially recognize the first photo. I thought it was a Duetto or something. The price itself is not too wild these days. No hood badge is not too crazy, but the lack of grills is a red (see what I did) flag. I would definitely want to take a look-see inside the frunk to see…

Not true. I “had to” share the back seat with a few hapless coeds in the back of mine, face-to-face jumpseat-style while my buddy was happy to handle the driving chores.

The original Panamera was waaay too faithful to the design brief’s good intentions of a “4-door 911.” That design, of course, was never going to look good and should have been killed in the paper sketch phase.

Totally stealing that meme for my next interwebs war. I really show them next time....

Thank you for hating on the RX3-anything. I live in the South Bay Los Angeles and those things are practically standard issue, faux-sporty CUV worthlessness. Just get a Venza.

I met him last night near LA. He let my kids climb in his WX-3. Still very passionate:

Probably just points and condensers, if they qualify?

Those are called “rednecks,” and they’re everywhere, including some very northern areas such as PA and IL.

You took the words right outta my mouth. I’ve live in the mid-Atlantic and SoCal my whole life. Only people I like more than good Southerner are Canadians, who are consistently nicer and more friendly than your typical coastal Americans.

Let’s look at your costs for the first 12 months, regardless of who’s paying: $4,900 for the clutch, $5,498 in five months for sundry sorting, $1,200 for front brakes. $1,400 for annual A-M service and $300 for a tire for $13,298. That’s a bit nasty, but if in year 2 you just chew up a $400 tire and do a $1,400…

Open your mind to Miata. It’s not hard to do. You don’t have to own one, but you can recognize its importance. I appreciate an STi and new C7, but I don’t either.
