The ones driving around in Washington with Oregon plates, yes.

There’s some precedent to these shenanigans: the Jerrari.

Exactly. C4s somehow look leaner, more tastefully designed, and less overwrought as time progresses. C7s, on the other hand, are certainly not going to look any less ridiculous 20 years from now.

You seem to have a DNS issue, might want to talk to your ISP’s tech support about it. Tell them that apparently the IP address for consumerreports.com is showing up as 104.156.85.64, which is actually assigned to jalopnik.com.

Try a Porsche.

I’ll bet you still have his old high-school art class trophies in the garage, too, huh, Mom?

*But that was always in an air conditioned convention centre.*

If I design a door that can’t be easily opened without reading a manual, I have not only failed as an engineer, but have not exactly acquitted myself well as a thinking human being.

Something people who aren’t from Texas may not understand is just how murderously hot that car probably was. I don’t know what time this event took place, but if it happened at noon or later, it might have been over 110 degrees in the car. Given worst-case conditions — elderly driver, quiet parking lot, hot summer…

Great! That means we can improve traffic flow by closing existing lanes.

They are such different cars, you might as well compare the price of a really nice surgical instrument to the price of a really nice chain saw.

He’s too busy driving to talk to Himself.

I just don’t want to pay the license fees. FTFY.

Not a 911 guy so I can’t really say. But in general the GT2 and GT3 cars are aimed at track junkies. More power, fewer toys, stiffer suspension, no back seats, more rough edges.

The only reason to buy a 997 over a new 981 Cayman at the same price would be if you’ve always wanted a 911 and know you won’t be happy with anything else. At this level of play it’s important to account for the intangibles.

Going to guess it’s a 997-era 911GT3. Hopefully someone will correct me if I’m wrong. It’s not a 991 because the rearview mirror isn’t attached to the door skin. Looks too new to be a 996. And I can’t see a GT2 turbo intake, although it might be there.

People need to become more aware of the horrors Japan inflicted and stop being so selective about what t happened in the War

The 968 was a few cars ago. Very early production (‘92 was the first year), but then it was basically a 944S3, which should have been very well debugged by then. I had it for about 10 years and it was just fine, once the stupid stuff got fixed. Lots of oil and P/S fluid leaks, shredded balance-shaft belts, broken door…

Then again, 996s haven’t been made for, what, 10 years now? Current Porsches have nothing in common with the 986/996 generation.

And then what happened?
