But what about Axel Foley?!?!

By the way, I assume Justin is talking about “regular” folk. Rich people aren’t likely to be fooled.

986 Porsche Boxster. People in the know, know of course but most people, not in the circle, think you’re a rich f_ck. Funny story. Would occasionally stop at a local park to take pics. Were supposed to have a window sticker permit to park there. There is an old lady there almost every night who would chastise people…

This was actually a rebadged FordRanger. Mazda’s own truck design ended in’83 if I recall.

It a thing. Not a living thing. Do what you want with it and realize the next owner will too. Having said that, nothing is more of a bummer than being one owner away from that cared for vehicle. When you find a car and research it and see the first couple owners had all the services done. Then the final owner…

Agreed. Quite happy with my 2010 base model Boxster. Sure, an S would be fun, but 255 hp in the base is plenty of fun too.

I don’t think putting a spit and polish on a car to resell is sleazy. It is the owner’s fault for being to incredibly lazy to clean it for the 1st sale.

This is true with so many high end, but not exotic, sports cars. It makes for great deals on the used market. It is amazingly easy to find 10-15 year old cars with less than 20k on the odometer. At some point you have to concerned with the lack of miles. Bearings like to be spun for lubrication and oil should…

Ethanol has considerably less energy than gas. So the car companies get to certify with 100% gas for their CAFE and we get to buy a methonal mix that will deliver worse fuel economy and cost more. Awesome!!!

I think we live in peak car today. Gobs of hp and torque with fuel mileage unheard of in the 90's. Take the 944 article for example. 150 HP and 20 mpg! Most decent hot hatches would kick its butt around the track. Then there is modern safety structures. Cars are quick, lightweight, handle well and safe in…

Your post is an example of how clueless guys are about “picking up” women. In general, most women, don’t want to be picked up by men they never met before and have no idea whether they are a decent guy or a psycho axe murderer. It doesn’t mean they are ultra feminist man haters. It means they have survival skills. …

I put more miles on my ‘98 Boxster last year than I did on my ‘92 Miata the two previous years combined.

You are ALWAYS underwater immediately. The question is when would he have been out from under the water.

“It’s not like these rich guys hoarding Ferraris and Ford GTs are what’s keeping the rest of us from having them.” Actually it is. These folks raise the cost of ownership and take good cars off the market.

This sort of thing works for those of us who actually drive our cars. People keep their cars in pristine condition so we can buy them and drive the piss out of them. It was real helpful when I wanted to replace the piece of crap Becker stereo in my Boxster. Sure enough, some collector bought the stereo for insane…

Tesla and Musk are like Nazi Germany taking on Russia. Spread way too thin. Beginning of the end. Musk and Tesla need to concentrate on quality and production capability...not expansion.

Ludicrous mode is ludicrously limited. Only works if you are at something like 85% battery charge.

Agreed. They are in some deep do-do with the Model 3 if it can’t match industry quality levels.

The headlights look like they are straight off the new Miata!?!
