As a courilary: my dad owns a 1966 C2, which he bought second hand from an F-4 phantom pilot in 1969 (it still has a set of Navy pilot wings on the dash, and an F-4 patch decal on one of the windows).

Chester is 72 years old. He’s been dreaming of owning a Corvette for the vast majority of those years. He worked hard and played it safe. He’s got enough money to bring home a Vette and the wife says it is ok. Now he knows the one’s from the 60's were way faster, buta new Vette is part of the dream. He orders his…

2 questions:

Can we agree that the four regular door Minis look terrible?

The comedy of it all is claiming that the 25-year exemption for emissions and safety regulations is to keep unsafe, “dirty” cars out.

Container full of guns and cocaine. Umm as long as you don’t sell to minors.

I just got through doing this. I called both Keyes Honda in Woodland Hills and Downtown LA Honda and both said they expect markups of $10 and $15 grand respectively. And each of them is only getting one each. The markups with this car are going to be crazy if not crazier than the FoRS, which got to over 60 grand in…

If AWD is the most important feature to you, sure.

If track or autox is a high priority, the CTR is probably going to more capable than the 3 other cars. If interior is the highest priority, the Golf R is the best. To each his own.

I’d be pretty pissed if I paid +$80k for a supercar (Chevrolet’s branding, not mine) that touts its track credentials (there are 6 mentions of the word “track” on the Z06 web page), and the thing went in to limp mode after 15 minutes of track duty.

Yep, and with a non-M Coupe you could easily swap in something more potent. A friend of mine has a Z3 Coupe that started out with a 2.8 but ended up having an S54 under the hood from an M3. The funny thing is that it’s still cheaper to do that then it is to buy an S54 M-Coupe.

I love the M-Coupe, it’s an absolutely brilliant driver’s car with a surprising amount of practicality thanks to the shooting brake design.

There’s a pretty significant price jump between the 1999-2000 cars and the 2001-2002 because BWM switched engines and gained a significant amount of horsepower. That’s why the prices are so different.

Aston Martin V12 vantage with a 6 speed manual.

I’m normally not this profane, but stuff like this gives people in my line of work a bad name, and makes me irrationally angry.

Your last paragraph is 10000000000000000% correct. Some fucking mook did a halfassed job replacing the pump the first time, then right fucked it a second time, then flat broke it the third time. And of course I could rant about how flat rate rewards techs for cutting corners, and eventually make mistakes, but I will…

“due to the non-Subaru part or its installation.”

...except that’s not the agreement. The agreement is posted right up there in the article. How about you try reading it and applying some critical thinking skills?

No, not “period.” They’re stretching the definitions in the contract beyond their literal meaning because they fucked up and didn’t do their job in the first place, and they did work anyway under the implication that it wouldn’t be charged for. This is anything but so clear.

You seem to have a fundamental misconception about what happens at a track day. I recommend that you look up your nearest SCCA track night in America, or other similar HPDE event, and preferably drive in but, but at the very least go spectate. I’d rather run my car on a course like Watkins Glen than half of the roads…

Jesus Christ. This woman is doing it right. Driving the car for what it’s intended. Marketing the fuck out of both it and herself. AND improving her skills in a driver’s car.
