It is my boring opinion that there are very very very few actual secret conspiracies.

I’ve come to the conclusion that, on balance, unrestricted use of the internet was a bad idea.

My buddy came over with his drone last week. He uses it at his job. He works for an HVAC company and can check out the units that are on the roof instead of climbing up and down all the time. He docks his cell phone to the controller. It can fly like 3 miles away. You can let go of the controls and it was just sit…

So I saw these drones like 2-3 weeks ago because I heard a helicopter at like 11 PM which is weird for our area.

In drones’ defense, would you land in New Jersey?

Motherfucking conspiracy theorists have crippled if not destroyed this country.

It looks like someone spend a decent sum to buy a nice clean 944 and then another princely sum in bolt-in parts to play boy racer. I bet it’s spend minimal time on a track being wringed out, which is good (but means it’s probably not actually track ready) but if that bin of parts doesn’t include seats it’s probably…

Maybe a NP if I could have seen the engine bay and a picture of the original parts box; which included the original rims and steering wheel.

This car certainly looks to be in good shape, and a similar condition 944 might bring that kind of money, or at least close to it—in stock condition. The mods, though reversible, don’t add to the price they detract a bit. I can’t quite nice price this.

Those Scheel shoulder harnesses are tied in a loose knot behind the rollbar instead of, like, actually bolting them down solid?

It’s gorgeous inside and out, and I’ve always loved the 944.  But I’m not interested in paying a premium on someone else’s project car that they no longer want, for whatever reason.  I’d rather spend $5k and make my own project.

For all the reasons in your first paragraph, I went ND. And I agree, that’s an absolutely awful color. I also don’t love the Fuchs wheels in this; they say ’70s while the car is screaming ’80s.

If you’re looking for a track rat that you can still drive to work occasionally, but don’t want to build your own, this is a NP.

Judging from the exhaust headers, it doesn’t run or hasn’t run or the pictures predate running.

ND for all the obvious reasons. It’s a personal monument to a close friend, not a tradable asset.

Slingshot dragsters have following but it needs to track ready at that price. If it just looks pretty and makes noise it’s worthless to me.

Jesus man, you just summed up my entire existence in two succinct, insightful sentences (I responded same above, meant to be here)

It breaks the staging beams. The wire wheels are too insubstantial for that. For a cacklefest car, of course, it’s just there for the right look.

This strikes me as the kind of thing you go out into the garage and build over the course of a few years when you just can’t bear the idea of sitting on the couch and streaming Gilmore Girls reruns with your wife. But other than for that save-your-sanity value, there’s no way you’re ever going to see more than pennies…

I think it’s almost all sentimental value. If this can’t run down a drag strip (even non-competitively) it’s basically worthless. The sum of it’s parts is worth a few grand, everything else is what it’s worth to the person who built it.
