Cool story, makes you wonder what other performance cars are out there being babied unwittingly. (Although if it's a 996 that was driven gently, run the other way).

Or as my father would've said, "You wouldn't catch no soul brother goin up in one of them things."

“I’m looking a lot more reasonable now, aren’t I?”

When I was a teen I thought that shifter was the sweetest looking thing ever. But now I just think it looks like getting leverage to finesse it into 1st and 3rd would be tough.

Recently sold on Cars & Bids for $8750.

I’ve had so many cars I can’t remember all their names, and some haven’t inspired me enough to give them names, but some are:

Especially with the mechanic's greasy hand print still on the hood. JFC, even the camera lens was greasy.

His excuse is his other truck rolled into it? But why not fix it? When my weed whacker fell off the garage wall onto my hood, I called my insurance and got it fixed. Until the apocalypse comes and we're all living like Mad Max, cosmetics still count for something.

I never got the hate for these. Along with the Viper, this was the first of the modern era of concept cars made street legal, and from red-headed stepchild Chrysler, no less. The fact this model exists at all is a minor miracle, and even though it’s not for me, I’m glad it does.

No thanks. Had one scoop a wasp out of the air and blast it at my face at 60 mph. Was never a fan after that.

Ram air vents in the footwells, so you can let in a little fresh air without getting wet, turning on the A/C, or getting that whomp-whomp-whomp from cracking open a window. These were common til about 1970, then they vanished.

My grungy roommate George had one of these. My Sentra SE-R was in the shop getting a new transmission under warranty because it kept jumping out of gear. It was scheduled to take a few weeks and being young and dumb, it didn't occur to me to raise hell and insist on a loaner car. George to the rescue! He let me drive…

I’m 56, a smartphone early adopter, and I think in-car navigation is mostly pointless although I can see the appeal of being able to change your route on the fly and not having to worry if you don’t have a strong data connection.

These 3500s aren’t all *that* easy to work on. 8 lug wheels and heavy duty underpinnings that take Incredible Hulk level strength to break bolts loose aren’t fun for a shadetree mechanic to deal with. I know because I went this route. I found a 2000 GMC 2500 work truck in good shape that was too cheap to ignore. Tough…

You're not wrong. I sourced a used hardtop for my 996, realized I didn't like the storage cart it came with, rigged up a nice pulley and crank system so I could lift it off by myself and store it overhead and... haven't used it once.

One of my customers on my paper route had a new one of these in green. I learned if I gushed once in a while over how great it looked he’d give me a tip.

It’s an ‘84 with a carb. You don’t *need* OBD-II to diagnose it. Still, huge ND.

I used to try arguing that on Porsche forums until one “purist” told me he’d rather see Porsche go belly up than produce anything not a 911. What do you even say to that? I just backed out of the conversation at that point.

I was 24 when these came out and they were kind of a holy grail for me, even though they were out of my reach. BTW, I don’t think that 134 HP figure is correct. The 91 SE-R I ended up buying instead had 140 and I’m positive the 240SX did not have less. Anyway, a decade or so ago I revisited these and was shocked and…

Years ago I rented an F-150 for work in Oklahoma and unavoidably had to take it through overhanging brush. Scratched up the clearcoat on the hood really bad. I meant to buy some wax and buff it out but never got around to it. A couple weeks later I had to leave quickly on a different assignment so I turned the truck…
