Non-drifter here. Can you tell me why you’d want a spoiler on a drift car? Isn’t it contrary to what you’re trying to accomplish?

And yet, Porsche had to redesign the ducktail spoiler.

Yes, the Corrado was too expensive for what it was, but don’t forget that the 90's  Deutsche mark to dollar exchange rate is partly to blame. After all, it threatened to kill Porsche for awhile.

That WAS a mouse nest! That mouse just forgot where it lives, that’s all.

Then be proactive and email him five louvered candidates for next week!

“It’s a louver, not a fighter.”

I...I didn’t know! Now I will not be happy. Damn the “crossover culture” in America!

Find a safe spot and practice turning off the car and stopping without power assisted brakes. The dozen times that you stalled will give you nightmares for the rest of your life, even though you never hit anything.

It has a claimed 1,646 miles on the clock which is astounding and alarming if accurate.

I think many commenters are missing some of the economics of this car. People wanted to have a Miata coupe, but Mazda is too small of a company to have a new, small-volume model certified for the myriad of American safety regulations, such as the new “roof drop” requirement. (This is why we can’t have rear visibility

In Michigan, you can go drive it under a Hagie.

Come-on! Some of our grid-patterned mile roads actually squiggle around lakes and landfills!

“Is this the exit for Cars & Coffee?”

Am I the only one who thinks an exotic service center is not considered “in the wild”? This, car shows, and locked garages are their natural habitat. Seeing the car driven to or from the car show does count in my book.

“AC works, but needs a recharge.”

I’ve heard that story being circulated. If I can find the source, I’ll try to post it.

You are likely looking at red primer. It’s very possible that Ferrari uses red primer for red, yellow, and black paint jobs, since it works well with bringing out deeper tones in the paint. Then again, I wouldn’t put it past Ferrari to use red primer on all of their non-white cars.

I wish I had more stars for you! My Mom liked my G1 Taurus SHO, so we went to the dealer in ‘93 to look at one for her. The salesman said, “Gotta love that V8, right?” I told him he was wrong. Three more guesses, and he still didn’t guess V6, much less DOHC. (It’s labeled on the side of the car, you idiot!)

I’m no expert on this vehicle, but red is a common primer for yellow paint jobs. It gives it that orange tone, without looking too red. White underneath yellow can leave it looking pale. 

Why does my recommending a comment on this topic cause stars to disappear? Let’s hope is just a today thing.
