I will forever marvel at your ability to take absolutely trashed cars and bring the back from the edge. It almost makes me think I could do likewise: turn flipping a car into a therapeutic endeavour. Where in reality I'd be underneath some wreck in a freezing garage screaming "WHY WON'T YOU FIIIIIIIIIIT???!!!"
Neverthel…
On a whim I test-drove a 2006 Magnum R/T with a magnaflow exhaust three weeks ago. I'm now a single guy who lives in a major city daily driving a Hemi-powered barge in bumper-to-bumper traffic with nowhere to use 340+hp. I was seduced by the exhaust I tells ya! Fourth car I've owned so far this year. I have a…
The one flaw in your logic: I just don't see kids putting a photo of the i8 up on their wall. The i8 is a pretty car. It's a revolutionary car. But it's not a badass car! And the Countach was a badass car!
Surprisingly not! Silver. If he hadn't already put it away for the winter I'd snap a photo for you all. It's properly bad!
If I had a 996, I know I'd love it and defend it to the end. And if the right deal comes along, that may just happen. I'm not dumb enough to turn my nose up at a great car just because I don't like its interior. Like I said I owned a turbocharged Cobalt! The full leather interior would allay most of my concerns. It's…
On its own, there's nothing wrong with the 996's design. It's when you see the 997 interior you go, "oh." You even admitted yourself the vinyl interiors are nasty. I'd be looking at a C4S not a turbo but if the price were right I could certainly see past my misgivings and I know I'd have a car I absolutely love to…
Perhaps a lot of my concern stems from the guy at work who bought a 996 Carrera. Nice looking car! Until he put a cheap knock-off GT3 front bumper on it. Then a cheap-sounding exhaust. Then cheap black wheels. Then a cheap spoiler. Then cheap "Carrera" graphics up the doors. Then cheap stripes over the roof. I can't…
How long does it take to get over the interior design on the 996? I could buy a 996 now but I see the interior, then I see the interior in a 997 and think "A few more years. A few more years and the 997 will have depreciated and I can have one."
Would've been better with "Disco Inferno".
If they could teach me how to get a hot blonde to do sinful things on film I'd certainly pay attention.
I'm still waiting for a 997 Carrera 4S with decent mileage to drop below $40,000. Then I've got my four-season sports car.
I need that "twerk dat ass" song as my ringtone. Then all that's left is to wait for the next boardroom meeting....
