It’s been over 5 years of this. 5+ years of the clips gunning for a ring and falling way short. It’s not gonna work. The core guys are all vets. They aren’t going to get better, and they won’t find any more chemistry with each other than they already have. Either clean house completely and become a lottery team, or…

Really? They’ll make lt and hs versions of this (and maybe even more variants) and they’ll make these in the thousands. And MP4-12c’s have depreciated a good amount already. I wouldn’t be surprised if it got down to the very high 5 digits/low 100's eventually.

Same. I hope these get to around to 80k mark some day so I can get one.

I don’t know. I think the sound of the zonda is interlocked with the look. They come together (along with the performance) to make arguably the coolest car of the century thus far. I’m not an EV hater (my mom has one and it’s great) but cars like the zonda need a big, screaming NA engine imo. But a zonda with a really…

This is true. As a young person, I would never buy a coupe if the same car had a 4 door option. Even if I would never really have passengers to use all four doors, I would still get the 4 door. Getting a coupe version of a sedan just gives off a certain douche factor.

The Colin cowherd of hockey.

That would be much easier, but i’d keep it NA. It would be more comparable to the 458 engine then.

That works!

Probably not hippies, but they were probably neutral. That’s a pretty rough reality that you spend your later years becoming more spiteful and less open minded. I do think your political ideology while young affects your views when you get older, though. If you were liberal while you were young, you’ll probably be…

I know it’s wrong to look forward to the GOP voting base dying off, but its gonna help a lot. The repubs are gonna be severely handicapped in a decade or 2 without boomers propping them up. Either the repubs never get into office again, or they have to ditch all the racist ideology to stay somewhat competitive. It’s a…

I mean it would be cool to have a zonda engine (especially a 7.3) but the s600 engine would be almost as good (after a shit ton of modifications). Good call.

Yeah, i’ve never seen ESPN as being “liberal” so much as agreeable. Are stories about women breaking Barriers in sports, disabled athletes making history, etc really considered liberal to these people? Is that the point we’re at? Is ESPN hiring a fairly diverse crew “liberal” too to these people?

Just conservatives trying their hardest to tie any given thing’s failure to liberals. Nothing new.

ESPN is pretty much formulaic at this point. A story about a disabled athlete making history, a story about a sport nobody cares about (golf, tennis, NASCAR, etc), some quick baseball highlights, arguing whether Sam Bradford, joe flacco, etc is an elite qb, a nice steamy masturbation sesh to lebron, rinse and repeat.

I try to reassure myself of that every day. I still think it’s probably right, but then again 2 years ago I thought without a shadow of a doubt that we were heading in that direction. Now i’m just hopeful.

Be careful what you wish for.

HBO is still the best overall, but some basic cable networks (notably FX and AMC) have made/are making HBO-quality shows.

I’d like to say i’m pretty well versed in what terms are offensive, but i’ll admit that I had no idea about this one. I use this phrase from time to time, but that will no longer be the case now. Thanks!

Someone needs to one-up this by throwing a motor from a wrecked zonda into an s14. Make it happen!

The headlights are much better on the facelift. Looks like they cleaned up the body lines a little too. And doesn’t someone make a kit that give it typical Porsche headlights anyway? It’s really not a big deal. And yeah, silver is easily the worst color for the 996. Accentuates all its worst lines. Too bad most 996's…
