Thank you guys so much for putting a picture and snippet instead of just bulk posting links.

I’ll give it until next month.

I thought it stood for “Never Any Parts Available”...

Hitting it kind of early, aren’t you? I expect my Torch Weirdness much later in the day. Not that I’m complaining.

I didn’t mind it.

Many people would argue that a stock 914 does look like shit.

That’s exactly why many people are here. They cover the random but interesting along with the big news that makes it to other outlets.

Braking force is ultimately limited by the tires. If you have slicks on the car you might get there, but you wouldn’t likely need the clamp force that 6 piston calipers can offer to get there with regular or even sport tires.

10% of the total is sales tax, plus weight tax and annual tax, so you’re down to $48k. All of the parts have to be homologated and tested before the car can go on the road, which is expensive for such a small production run.

I do not trust Al-Jazeera America to give me correct information just like I do not trust FOX News to give me correct information. I may be wrong, but I’ll pass on anything that has ‘Al-Jazeera’ in the name.

This is a good post. I wish this was the kind of info Tavarish had instead of his usual proclamations, followed by defensiveness in the comments about how anyone can fix an Audi S4 by watching youtube videos and he’s done it himself etc. You CAN own an old luxury car, yes. But unless you make a living writing a blog…

I was wondering when this was going to show up in a Tavarish special.

Well, I know what I’m doing later. Think I’ll crack a beer and sit next to mine (fortunately purchased 15 years ago, before they went nuts) while I watch that. You know, for motivation.

This is kinda specific, but if you know someone who recently bought their first used BMW, a set full of Torx sockets might just save them some headaches. I still remember being elbow-deep in some project or another only to come across something I couldn’t remove because I didn’t have the right socket or the right…

Chances are, they already have a decent drill. What they probably don’t have is a cordless impact driver. This would be near the top of my list.

Somehow, I imagine half the employees at Gawker Media who live in NYC would just stare at it and be not sure what to do with it, or where to put it in their apartment.

eBay > cars > ending soonest. See what’s cheap. ‘Merry xmas, I bought you another project.’

Fuel Shark. Because gear heads appreciate gag gifts and it makes for a perfect stocking stuffer.
