times two or more. Because “Yamaha heads.”

Your username intrigues me. SHO or Volv8? Or multiple 2zz’s?

My Sundance (2.5 n/a 5 speed) could smoke one tire if I did a backward rolling hard start. Like dropinto first and dump the clutch while still rolling

“You can’t put headers on a jaguar V12. When the valves close the exhaust will explode.”

I was going to say the exact same thing.

That was 1999. The 996 was the first water-cooled 911

That’s Scott Jaguar. And I’ve seen both of those Nobles. The blue one at AutoFair multiple times and the gray one at 530 am near Presbyterian Hospital when I was taking my wife in for surgery.

To be fair, it’s a better vehicle all around and it has better marketing. My roommate from 2009-10 had a second-gen xB and I have a first-generation Soul. The Soul just feels better - with better frontward visibility, more unique styling - but not weird like the Cube, better real-world fuel mileage and a more zippy…

“Wipe it down with a damp cloth right after the spill” sounds a lot better than “well, that’s probably not going to come out unless you shampoo it.”

We just did an Encore last week. It’s got the same seats as the Trax (although I think the cloth pattern is different).

We make life difficult for parts departments and collision centers that order interior pieces based on VIN. “Why does this Civic LX with hubcaps have black leather interior?”

As you know, Tom, I work for an aftermarket leather interior company. So we often get requests to put leather, heated seats, and a sunroof in a base-model car. One dealer in particular does this every few months. We have had several Mazda 6 Sport models in here doing this. They have this “Platnium Edition” logo…

The same company did the “Pro-AM III” Firebird:

He’s in the gray. By responding, you’re legitimizing his trolling. Thus getting him the attention he so deeply needs.

It may be behind a paywall though. .

They’re not at all similar in size, and one is clearly lower than the other.

The Charlotte area tends to be hot and humid. Convertibles are nice in the spring and fall but not so much in the summer. High humidity and pop-up thunderstorms aren’t very convertible friendly if you’re using it for those purposes.
