This.

I’m fine with being a monster because I love gross Apple Jacks.  And let the record show I’m not in the cereal aisle for health reasons. That myth waved bye-bye a long time ago.

This is half of the reason why I’m still driving my 4th gen.

Toyota is selling hybrid RAV4s for peanuts, so why not buy the hybrid?

I still don’t know how people can afford to buy full-sized pickups.  Oh wait, 7-year loans.  Wonder why the market for vehicles you can only buy if you get a mortgage is drying up...

Project car is like project hand - keep working through the good and bad for constant improvement.

The crackest of pipes.  Taking the best design of the era and making it look like an awkward Porsche should hurt a car’s value, not increase it.

After horrifying myself by watching Chernobyl, this is fine.

WHY ANY OF IT

Hey, it’s the real-life version of the car I drive in Forza Horizon 4 all the time!

There are very, very few FWD cars that see appreciation later in life.

In this market, that’s a NP.  A few years ago I would’ve spit out my coffee and slapped my knee at the audacity of a $10,000 914 with the wrong wheels for the bodykit.  

Everyone already made Lambo jokes. Nevermind. :(

Hear hear! Bless her.

Boob all the things.

It’s probably losing more than 15% through that automatic, by the way.  You should look at the horsepower losses between manual 911s vs the PDK counterpart. 

Great info!

I don’t think you understood at all what I said. Could you let me know how people running cars much cooler would necessitate additional cooling?  There was no need to keep them extremely cool because the engine wasn’t capable of even getting that warm. Compression/rpms were too low.

The point was they didn’t run engines nearly as hot as we do today (225+ degrees), which we do for efficiency and emissions.

I think something to remember is compression ratios were pretty low back then, so your overall engine wasn’t getting too hot because there wasn’t much combustion happening. Low fuel, low air, low RPMs. So cooling wasn’t really that important.
