Wise? You do realize you’re reading Jalopnik right?

You may be an expert on the subject and no doubt this is an arduous challenge, but really you’ve left yourself no cover at all. You’ve denounced the entire effort as example of “Elon Musk Twitter bullshit. But if he manages to pull this off, where is your fallback?  Denounce it as cheating? Beginner’s luck? Really, it

...aaaand I stopped reading. All I’m seeing is a bunch of weird anger porn based on some vague tweets that seems to have gotten a bunch of panties in an incomprehensible bunch.

The Jaguar XF Sportbrake exists and yet you don’t suggest it what is wrong with each and every one of you

If I were a BMW Dealer, I’d write up a $17k bill because you’re wasting my damn time. I’m so sick of these YouTubers wanting us to click and watch their clickbait garbage.

The land cruiser is a great suggestion, especially if you add some personal touches to it, even just nice all terrain tires in stock size; it says I drive this old car because it is cool, I like it, and I can, not that I have to.

The fact this isn’t a real 930 is its best quality. Hear me out: I’m a guy that likes to drive a car more than look at it under glass. Here’s one of these you can drive like crazy and not be financially terrified (even while you are white knuckled, laggy turbo snap-oversteer terrified). The engine swap is no big deal

50-large won’t get you the real thing though. You’d need more like 125-large for that.

I have no desire to find out how long that 915 transmission will live when hooked to the 930's torque, especially if driven in anger. And what kind of fuckery is going on with that extremely crooked turbo badge on the rear?  Hard pass, CP. 

Less of a “project” in that everything is basically plug and play. Parts on 911s mostly swap right over. This isn’t LS swapped 2CV or anything.

You can find model specific parts easily, all over the internet and for far less than what you’d pay at the dealer.  

No, the minute you stop maintaining it it will become yard art.

25+ years is a pretty long time to be considered a trend...

It is, they even uploaded a video talking about the whole situation.

Now playing

Southern brazilian here. These guys have being doing this for decades with no problems with the law whatsoever, something doesn’t add up. They were somewhat famous in the brazilian car scene, they even had a couple of TV appearances and honestly some of their replicas are actually pretty decent. For instance, check

Getting r/watchpeopledie off Reddit would be a badge of honor. 

There's plenty of video of off's where the driver survived. We don't need that faces of death shit here.

I’m an avid motorcyclist who just started doing track days (no racing). I’ve instructed friends and family that if I am killed while on two wheels and somebody says, “At least he died doing what he loved” that they are to punch that person square in the face. Yeah, “doing what I love”. I’m still dead, asshole. And one

I was up there. I wasn’t watching when he went off but a saw where he fell down to on my hike down. He probably fell 100-150' down to a boulder field. It was heartbreaking. A bunch of riders took off still in leathers to see what shape their boy was in. Officials were chasing any hikers away from that whole side of
