I don’t mind it being pathetic considering I get a brand new battery pack.  And it’s not like my one anecdote is systemic of the entire brand either.  Hopefully if someone wrote about how their M5 blew an engine at 65k, people wouldn’t assume all M5s blow their engine at 65k.

I thought it was because I was fat, but in fact its just a glandular problem.

Occasionally — I live in Maryland, so we get that cold a few times a year. The big thing is the batteries need to stay warm(ish) so they will be running just to stay responsive when parked. I’d guess my garage is around 48 degrees when it’s 10 outside (it’s pretty well insulated) and the drop off over night might be…

I have about 65k miles on my P85 and here are some interesting aspects:

“Used Privately — Never as a Taxi!!!”

Whenever I see an early 1980’s jaguar, I think of the move Crazy People starring Dudley Moore, who was the ad exec that came up with this:

I’d vote NP on it realizing the maintenance would probably equal the price in 2 years. And I’d gander the loose wire is for an aftermarket rear camera. 

Just then, Bob finally had proof that the giant was about to pinch his authentic Porsche.

A German wearing an SS badge?  Well, there’s no way that could be construed negatively.  

Conversion vehicles in general are about as popular as conversion therapy in San Francisco. It doesn’t matter how well you alter the aesthetics: it’s still ill fitting and everyone knows what’s on the inside regardless.

With the silver bonnet I think the Rolls goes from a beautiful machine capable of immense luxury and performance to a personally owned limo. It’s basically wearing a tuxedo.

I just upgraded my pickup and the last one had a girlfriend seat; I kind of miss it.

TheLateApx: I’m gonna get you dirty and take you where you’ve never been ridden before!

Fred: You know Suzy, no one loves you like I do.

If you act now, I’ll also include three kinda completed manuscripts for a spin-off show I thought up “Full House: Joey Goes on Parole” and another almost partially done manuscript of my Japanese time travel movie called “Behind to the Front” starring this very MR2 (once the turbo is installed).

the dimensions are delusional though. It isn’t a box that is 7x6x4, there is the sunroof hole that gives you 6’ for just standing in that sunroof area. But not even bothering to show the pop-up in action nor the access to the pop-up area is what makes the whole sales pitch as ridiculous as buying a platypus in the…

Son: Dad, I want a platypus for a pet, I’m gonna name him George.

I haven’t learned so much in 10 minutes since the clean up scene and heroin overdose scene in Pulp Fiction. Bravo David (and Andrew’s phone).

Definitely! Oil every 20k? Ouch. Decided to completely rebuild the engine? Awesome. And different manufacturers have different build qualities as well. So, with all that said there could be some basic equation...:

I’d love to know if there is a generally accepted HP depreciation calculation.  410HP stock for $8,900 is great; 215k on the odometer is not.  Perhaps it’s now around 300HP?
