Ya know that game we played as teenagers after getting the fortune cookie at the chinese takeout place? You follow up the fortune with “in bed”, because ha ha.

I want you to do the same with every youtube comment regarding engine reliability or potential power.

“There are many more than you can find that easily do 8's.…

And while you’re in there, the gasket to the shift selector is leaking. You just have to trust me that it is. Replace it or you’ll have to do this all over again. 

There are 2 pins and a bushing holding the carrier to the trans/chassis respectively. I’m a wrenching neophyte and removing this (in confined quarters) wasn’t that bad as soon as you forgoe mechanical sympathy for you tools or the shifter linkage. All will be fine. Cromagnun the fucker. 

“$1,600 for new brakes and air conditioning condenser, $600 for new tires, $150 soon for a new battery”

ON the floor.

$60k? And you’re asking the jalopellenials (yep, its a word now, deal with it) for their advice on how to spend it? Dude, keep moving. Their very genuine answer to all car buying questions is Miata. With your budget, I’m shocked no one said 3 Miatas; one to park on the street, one to park in the drive way to get…

I’m about to have a little guy. The thought of strapping a HANS device to him and clipping him into his seat terrifies me. It’s easy for you to want to do it; you’re indestructible in your own mind and any mistakes you make are your own. Now imagine your 5yo being punted coming out of a corner and ending up upside…

8yo, karting for 3yrs. At 5, I’m pretty sure I was still eating glue and pretending the world turned to night if I blinked for long enough.

Well done blurring the woofer’s tweeter.

Same motor? I thought the IMS was addressed in the 997.

Point of fact, using your foot to flush is contingency against an empty or nonfunctional soap dispenser. Although your shoes are now tainted, we have a strict no shoe policy at the Fdawg4l house.

I call bullshit. And I don’t mean to pick on you directly, but this excuse and empty threat is made a lot. One could move to a different place and expect to have a high quality of life. It is possible. But, you give up quite a lot and I’m betting you know that. The weather, the tremendous number of opportunities,…

Weren’t eligible for import stateside until very recently. It’s possible, given his ability to lay low, but I don’t think it’s probable.

Uh. Dude? You can’t leave us hanging. WHICH fastest station wagon in the world is it? We need year, internal model code, miles, options it came with, etc. You can’t just leave that out! How heartless are you!?

Water pump isn’t bad at all. I think the hardest part was figuring out how the plastic hoses unclip from the thermostat.

I literally chased him down on the streets of Austin during the f1 gp. Suuper nice guy. Opened the car he was driving (I think it was the ccx or something like that) and let me hose him down with fanboi questions. Just a really nice and highly technical and engaged guy. He definitely had the proud daddy vibe.

Nope and nope. Driven both and they’re certainly fun and zippy. But the Z and other Japanese super cars of the era are more like pro touring cars or detuned race cars. The two you mention might even be better for some metrics, but jdm sports cars of the era were being compared to 911s and Ferraris. It’s a different…

Find a newer car at a similar price point with more power that drives like the car here. Cars are definitely more powerful lately, but they’re pretty boring to drive.

Kind of an oversimplification to the point. And be very clear, there are some incredibly smart and talented people working at TSLA. Just because you don’t see them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

While true a big point I think you aren’t considering is maintenace. Electronic c car maintenance is similar to that of a toaster. And to a large segment of the population, car maintenance is something they don’t understand and want nothing to do with. Which is why dealer maintainence plans are such a big thing and…
