Bought my Dino for $21k in 1981 and sold it for $48K in 1988. Thought I did well. But crap it could of been my “retirement” car.

Wait ... are we glossing over the important fact that your dad had 13 kids.

“Normals” .... is that what we are called now???

Just give me an analog watch that I can read at night without having to push some button. Not sure what technology is used today for illumination, but it sucks. The old Radium powered illumination was decent.

Your tax dollars at work.

Here’s what I don’t get. With the nuts fixed in place, when you slam the tire in place the studs can only go as far as the back of the threads on the nuts. So you start spinning the nut onto the stud, hoping it catches in the first place. That sucks the wheel down at that location. Wouldn’t that sort of have two…

“What do you do for a living?”

Never knew you could do so much with Lego’s.

Now I understand why Jalopnik is having less and less of appeal to me. It’s run by a bunch of millennials who argue about stupid stuff.

Actually a great car but ........ the 4 cam version of this engine (not sure if it applies to a 1992) will self destruct because the cam sprockets will detach from the cams. The fix - weld each cam to the sprocket at 4 points each. A bunch of stuff has to be removed to even get to the cams. Sort of daunting.

Because he’s the lead plaintiff in the Class Action Lawsuit. He has to pay his legal bills.

Too much flywheel.

Ok. Now just make a wagon version with manual tranny.

At idle it sounds like my Dad’s tractor.

Are Elon Musk’s various projects just a big Ponzi scheme in disguise?

I’ve had some issues with my GTI and the 6 spd manual transmission. They almost need a slotted shifter. There is very minimal separation between slipping it into adjacent gears. I’ve also experienced putting it 1st gear and the car is really in reverse. That’s just plain scary.

I had a 1972 Ferrari Dino 246GT. You absolutely had to baby it between 1st and 2nd until the engine was fully warmed up. And don’t even try to shift from 2nd to 1st until at full stop. After 5 minutes of driving, everything’s good. Cars are quirky. Some issues you just have to work around.

Pounds per hp would be way more interesting.

Good investment or not? Well .... if they had put the purchase price ($35K) into FORD stock in 2002, they would have about the same amount left (plus 16 years of dividends). If they had put the money into Apple Computer .... ha, ha .... they would have quite the nest egg of about between $2M and $3M.

If there is only 0.2 second difference on 0-60 between this and the V8 powered SS, I wonder how they would compare at altitude. I traverse a mountain pass in Colorado every day. At roughly 12,000ft altitude, I’m sure the Turbo 4 maintains its 275 HP figure while the normally aspirated SS loses quite a bit. Would like…
