RUN LIKE THE WIND. Speaking as an R107 owner with R129 friends, these things were at the nadir of MB reliability. They are literally leather-wrapped garbage.

If you have not seen this, its worth a watch.

It looks like blast, but at $50k we are well inside lightly used M4 territory.

The old ones, sure, but everything I read is that the last generation were much easier to tame (ignoring the homicidal ACR for the moment). That leaves us with a great looking, V10 powered, race-proven car that does simply doesn’t sell. Perhaps you could point to the Corvette as just too compelling, but if anything…

God no. We don’t need another overpriced bro truck. This shouldn’t be (or pretend to be) a towing focused vehicle and 285hp is more than enough for a truck of this size.

Well, I think they may have taken a lesson from the Viper. It has a manual, it EMBRACES the racer crowd and doesn’t sell at all.

Been there, done that. Probably 10 dozen times growing up. Ya, its a little unsafe and I would avoid it with my kids, but its hard to hate.

Deal seems dead. Now at $134. Though, still a deal.

Sure, it will always be worth it to fix a Ferrari, but I have hard time imagining the technology you are describing existing in the next 30 years. We are already seeing it, notice how many old SL560/SL430s you see on the road from the 70s or 80s (R107)? Lots. When was the last time your saw an R129 (1989-2002)?

Good to hear from an owner! I have always liked the idea/sound of the QPV and it made my shortlist but the horror stories about reliability and interior build issues scared me away. Good to know that much of it may be overblown. It also struck me as a bit of tweener car. Not quite as much fun as the M4, not as…

I can’t seem to find any clarification: Is it one credit total or one credit per button?

This could also be titled “Why I don’t work on modern cars” or “Why there will be no classic cars in the future”

I gotta say, I like it. A rich princess with reasonable taste in cars? Thats cute? She available?

My 911 isn’t filled with junk, but its certainly isn’t garbage free. And lots and lot of crumbs. I let my kids eat in it. I’d rather drive my car than clean it.

Not that I am the market, but I would have a hard time picking this over a p85D. It looks good, but its less practical, more expensive and not as dramatic (a la Rapide) as it needs to be. Don’t get me wrong, as 911 owner I get the need for fun, but lets be honest, no one actually drives these things on a track, so I…

You don’t have to look at it from the inside. And the inside is a great place to be.

My 996 4S is basically untouchable in the price/fun index. I wish I had a turbo, but that said, you can’t beat them as a daily. I dont love the headlights, but I don’t dispise them with the passion of a thousand burning suns like some people. Would I like a997.2 Turbo? Hell ya, but at about twice the price of a 996 it…

Its a concern, but radically overblown.

Hahahahahaha. Police lose their jobs? Killing innocent people won’t cost a cop his job you sou can be pretty damn sure a signed order from a judge authorizing an impound and following “due process” isn’t going to get anyone fired. Literally, all the cops have to do is say “we have reason to believe one or more of…
