The PITI on our current house in flyover country is less we were paying in rent for a 600 sqft 1 bedroom in West LA. Of course, the price the wife & I are paying in boredom and cultural homogeneity almost makes it not worth it to live here.

In my old neighborhood in LA, 1000 sqft built in 1922 with no driveway on a 7000 sqft lot is $960k. Some might think “small price to pay for a house in the Hills.” But no, sadly, this was not the Hills. This was pre-gentrification Echo Park.

Seriously, how is this not the top comment? Half Life & Doom were the first 2 things I thought of when I read about this.

Opposite of the GT-R, sure, but they’re awfully expensive on this side of the pond. For as much as people are charging for Figaros, you could get a low mile R32 or R33 GT-R, and with the difference left over, get a Pao.

It was 2013, and there was a metallic blue mid-70's 911 Carrera in Venice, CA, 80k miles, tea tray spoiler (aftermarket). Yeah, it was the 2.7 but I didn’t care. No rust, no leaks, working (aftermarket) air con. I inexplicably passed on it.

I know. General Mayhem. 

Bad news for these blokes then, eh?

I think this is a much more accurate representation of what an aged Chrysler will look like in 20-odd years. Came here to post it, actually, but you beat me to the punch by a considerable margin.

I’ll allow it.

Looks fine from every angle except head on. Just like it’s RDX big brother (below).

301hp, red interior, and all the personality of a lukewarm bowl of gruel.

Yeah but its a water cooled engine. You indicated in the article that the vacuum lines are “responsible for cooling the engine” and that is 100% false in this case. They don’t move enough air to perform a measurable amount of cooling in this application.

Ballaban drove it like a video gamer, Lee drove it like she was actually racing in real life. I’d pay money for a series where you race on the video game, then strap into Spec Miatas or whatever and race the real track in real life where the fear of death / property damage is real.

They’re, sadly, way ahead of you on that.

I wouldn’t rule it out...

Back in my day they called non-OSUT boot camp and AIT the “IET Pipeline. AIT falls under the umbrella of the term IET, so I think you’re technically right?

It’s a lot easier to catch people in the act when you’re “incognito.”

Haha I was also a 25B. Small world. I’d probably have gone insane being bottled up on post for 6 months. Were you at least able to hit up the class six and sneak a few back to the barracks?
