This car is just a beautiful glitch in the matrix showing what cars in a cool America without the war on drugs would be like. 

We’re actually finishing up a restoration on a 69' 911t Sportomatic this week.

Just quietly, the Owner of the Testarossa in the article used to have a 456 in green with a manual.

This is terrible. Sex work is work!

Can confirm, we have had a number of GT350 Wheels repaired. In fact our first was a good two years ago or so, and must have been one of the first wheels fixed.

Don’t worry, it lives on in Houston as a new Ferrari 

It already is in some case, but to a more nuanced degree. There are many manufacturer specific colleges to train techs for single make service. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, the list goes on. Many of those colleges are free to the Techs. The school is funded by either a sponsoring dealership or a manufacturer with a promise…

Preach!

I have a Porsche shop. Will confirm I have been offered every degree of hacked/ jailbroke/ pirated software you can imagine. Often with features the dealerships are barred from accessing.   Some of the Porsche options are surprisingly affordable though. A no-brainer for shops that can’t justify the full factory…

Payroll expenses are absolutely killer for me. I need to make sure my techs feel comfortable taking the extra time to run at a standard we expect, not miss any further issues, but then also know they’ll be able to pay their rent if the job turns into a weeklong nightmare.

This is a big problem for me as well. I can’t hire talented techs from a dealership. They’re either making an insane amount of money being their problem solver, or they have not been trained to give any independent thought to repairs.    I try and find clever techs from all over and then prefer to train them in the…

So I have a Porsche shop. I work on Porsche vehicles only. In advertising what I do on google I cannot use the words Porsche, 911, Carrera, Cayman etc. None of it. It’s very frustrating. However, my rivals shops are able to advertise, they use the term: Houston Porcshe Repair. I am a pedant, and fairly obsessive. I…

can 100% relate. I’ve been mustard on the rex every since my dad told me about how his best mate in engineering school, who was the heir to the Brown Brothers empire, used to rally his all over the Adelaide hills with just enough cash in the glove box to pay off the fine whenever he got caught. What a way to be young…

We solved a lot of the gt4's harshness by dropping a wheel size and filling the gap with more and more lovely soft michelin sidewall. Worked a lot better on track that way too.

It did not, I should have clarified that for the GT4 all those items are similar from the previous Gen, but for the spyder merely the auto blip. Its about time they standardized the spyder to the GT4.   The spyder is now the one I’d want. 

“Both are fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard (now with auto-blip downshifting baked right in).”

Pretty excited to try out this bad boy on a trip from Houston to Michigan next week.

I’m a sucker for the 993 headlights, thats definitely where the 959 vibes come from. 

I should also add to that, they’re both real established car companies, with enough model lineage to establish a recognizable design path.  

Pagani is absolutely the Italian Koenigsegg. Two hypercar companies, one focusing on clean design and incredible technology. The other focusing on inspired and fashionable design with really good conventional tech. One of those paths is most definitely more Scandinavian, one most definitely more Italian, but both…
