Porsche is clearly a front for Dharma.

I’m biased but I think my 991.1 is going to be the car to hold on to. The very last NA 911.

It’s certainly one of big reasons I DD a 991. I can have fun, drive a car I love and still fit the kids in the back when necessary (like this morning when I dropped them off at school).

That’s why I specified “new” Vettes. Certainly there are those enthusiasts such as yourself who will buy a used one (or even a new one I suppose) as a second or 3rd car but it’s just not common. Most people only have 1 car per adult (if that), so if they’re going to buy a new car, it has to be flexible enough to…

Yeah I really hope they did. I mean there are some shitty lawyers out there who just want to milk their billable hours but I imagine/hope you’re right and this guy just HAD to see it through to the end. He got his pyrrhic victory like you said, but it cost him almost everything else.

They’re fantastic cars. Drove them on AAA raceway when they came out a few years ago and absolutely loved it.

Nope, the “American Rule” (that’s the actual name) is that aside from very few exceptions, each side pays their own lawyers.

This is unfortunately commonplace in legal disputes. I’ve had to deal with nuisance suits a couple times and the only goal is to get you to settle for nuisance value.

Oh god no. I had a 535i E60 and it was always in the shop until BMW bought it back from me. I can only imagine what an M5 of that era, 10 years later, would do to a wallet.

I don’t disagree that for many people shifting your own gears is more fun. Just saying as someone who has raced and done A LOT of track days, more often than not, those outside the novice groups are focused on lap times. And since an auto is faster on most all modern performance cars, I don’t see many manuals in…

Of course it doesn’t but you specifically mentioned the Vega which was only sold in the US and only from ‘71-’77, hence my reply.

There wasn’t much drunk driving in the 70s? Clearly you weren’t alive then. It was a bigger problem in the 70s than pretty much any other time in our history. The penalties were almost non-existent, cars were really proliferating and the safety features were laughable. Hell those reckless years are what led to MADD…

Exactly. There are FAR more miles being driven by last mile deliveries than OTR truckers.

Probably because for people who are even semi-serious about tracking their cars lap times are way more important than a perfect heel/toe shift.

Who is this person “who wants to buy a 2018 Chrysler 300?”

What’s interesting though is it’s only for numerical freeways. Nobody would ever say “the PCH” whereas other highways like the 101 are indeed called “THE 101.”

Ok but can we all agree it’s gross as fuck to walk barefoot on blacktop?
