Doug was okay, a little awkward but not cringeworthy. His guests were cringeworthy. The Ballaban video was funny, I enjoyed it.

Hell no. I had the blown-head-gasket-at-78k-miles Shadow.

I’m so old, I have fond memories of my 2000 Tiburon. It was pretty much a Mercedes compared to the 1990 Dodge Shadow it replaced.

Why would they? They have a team of thousands of automotive experts willing to work for free at their disposal. Us.

Are you ready to have your mind blown? That was close to 20 years ago, not 10.

You mean except Ford?

Stef, how does it feel to be given the best remote assignment of the year?

This is my dream. My girls are 5 and 2 now. The 5 year-old has shown a little interest, but doesn’t have the attention span to do much of anything. She likes crawling around in my project 944 while I work, so I figure any proximity to the garage is good and she may naturally start asking to help. The 2 year old is…

I’m so sorry. I laughed. I’m going to hell.

I know that 911s are rear-biased, but I didn’t realize how much. That ‘74 is like 70/30 rear biased!

Holy rear weight-bias, Batman!

Porsche has recently announced they will be producing new stock for every part number they no longer have old-stock for. I’m sure it will take a while, but this is real.

You really how unbalanced most FWD cars are? You’d have to load bags of sand or cinder blocks to really screw up handling.

Spending money is WAY better for the economy than saving or investing it, probably better even than donating it.

It isn’t terribly uncommon for cars with tube headers to have cracking issues. The headers have the highest operating temperature out of anything in the engine since they see all the hot exhaust without the benefit of any cooling system. Most production cars have cast headers which are much more durable but very heavy.

How do incentives work when you order a car? Do you get the incentives that are active when you order, when you take delivery, or do you not qualify for any at all?
