Would love to know this too. Can’t be there at 6 and I would rather skip the DJ set

Are you suggesting she isn’t insanely beautiful? Because something is broken inside you. Are you that dude keeping the clown-porn production companies in business?

I suspect its Chinese. SSanYong also has a 4 cylinder diesely which I think they source or partnered with a Chinese supplier to get.

Yep, it was mine. I am sure they would sell it back. For about 7 times what I sold it for. C’est la vie. I had my fun with it.

“It’s K-Jetronic on this car, I believe.”......and I’m out. I am never dealing with a K-jetronic again.

You must not know any owners of supercars. To be sure, many of them buy them for ego reasons, but I would guess 60%-70% do not want to be “worshiped” or, frankly, give a damn about what you think.

Fair enough. The in-laws have a Previa and we use the hell out of it for road trips. Ain’t no shame in my game.

Nope, not me. I am in Texas. But if you judge by the Porsche forums, you would see there are more of us doing this than you would think. We are the secret anti-minivan society.

This is the primary reason I went with the 911. I take my 1.5 y/o and 3 y/o to daycare in it most days. Mothers hate it. Dads look at their SUVs with regret. “Daddy go fast!!!!” is so much fun to hear. We spend the whole time between 3k rpm and 6k rpm just tearing that engine apart revving up and down.

Ya, the infamous 996 IMS issue. Its real, its happend to people, but it is totally overblown in terms of how frequent it is. Yes, it does kill the engine. I think you have consider Porsche realiability in the context of other high-end sports cars. When compared to other caliber sports cars, it is a rock of

Totally agree. Reality sucks. On several occasions I have been asked why I went with the “boring” option and got a Porsche. This is is why. Doesn’t make me want an Aston any less, but its like lusting after a stripper. Better left to daydreams.

It looks like a better version of the Bently Butenesayaga or whatever that monstrosity is called.

s2000 Wasn’t in high demand? They were selling around 10,000 a year in the US. Which is a lot for a roadster. In 2002 the Miata and the S2000 sold about the same number. Also the sales drop was a precipitous result of the economy more than general desire. The rise in prices has more to with a lack of competent

I agree they will hit a floor, but most cars that appreciate do so because they were in high demand when they were on sale.

Man, who pissed in your cheerios? The problem with your argument is you act like this is new. The same ideas can be applied to hot-rodders in the ‘40s, lifted rear ends in the ‘70s, hyraulics in the ‘80s, ricers in the ‘90s, bro-trucks in the ‘00s. People want to make their cars their own and I don’t see why anyone

Your point was that it was unsafe. A model T is an epic deathtrap, but still fully street legal. Why shouldn’t we compare them if your only concern is safety or handling?

I see your point but how far do you take it? Should all classic cars be banned from the road too? They cant stop, steer, or protect as well as even these badly modified cars. I have a 73 Z too. Its not what I would call “safe” for me or anyone on the road compared to a modern civic

Terrible decision. Anyone can knock you off with a well placed rock to the head.

This is the correct answer. Offroad capability and arguably the most reliable car ever made? Yes please. Of course, too many computers to really “fix” a lot of things, but then, just find another. The War Boys are going to eat your skin long before you run out of cars.

Man, I sure hope it looks like the AMG GT-S. Its a glourious shape, but not worth the $120K price tag. I would love to see the Mazda $35K version.
