7500 markup at every dealer I’ve contacted in the entire PNW. Ford dealers are a joke. -FTFY

Luxury carmakers already focus on the first 100k miles for reliability, they just have to keep the original leaser happy and not lose a ton of money on the CPO warranty.

I don’t know that there are still valve springs using this technology. The high pressure could be used to pull the valves back up if you used two actuators on each valve.

Biggest advantage is cooling, the air-cooled heads are swinging around through the air. I imagine that you might also get a little bit of a forced induction effect since centrifugal force is pushing the intake air towards the cylinder.

It is interesting that the promo car doesn’t have bumper pads on its front bumper. The euro bumper was different from the US one, having much smaller rubber pads, but they either painted the pads or removed them entirely for this video.

Yes, all 944 models from ‘87 onward had the new offset. Fuchs did make other forged wheels for Porsche in that offset, but none are iconic like the windmill.

The 944S was not available with the well-known windmill Fuchs. It had the later wheel offset, which those Fuchs were never made for.

You mean like speed cameras that send you a ticket in the mail?

Are we not talking about Koenigsegg?

No, they VIN swapped this car since it was stolen, unfortunately for them they picked a VIN that had already been exported. Otherwise they probably would have gotten away with it.

If they didn’t realize they wouldn’t go out of their way to block other countries.

Magnets only affect spinning drives, not flash memory. So probably nothing.

VW actually does make a lot of sense. They are lacking in SUVs, and that is all FCA has. Decent synergy there. As long as they don’t combine the VW electrical systems with the Fiat mechanicals, it might work?

No Dino 246 GT yet? Come on, peeps.

I would imagine that the light weight and tiny wheelbase mean that you don’t need to do too much to keep it stiff.

True story, DC streets are confusing and impossible on purpose. When the city was planned, they wanted to make it as difficult as possible for an invading force to make it to the center of the city. That urban planner did a hell of a job.

Parts availability for the 928 really isn’t that big a deal. They are cheap enough that people part them out regularly, and Porsche is pretty good about doing new production runs of unobtainium parts.

Weight isn’t everything. Smaller wheelbase and suspension tuning matter too.

My 944 had running issues for a couple years before I got it worked out. On one occasion, I started it in the garage, then it died while backing down my fairly steep driveway. I parked it on the the street for a couple days while I waited for a new fuel pump to come in. Once I had the new pump, I got my tools and went
