Exactly right. The 62 Sprite featured FIFTY FIVE horsepower from its 948 engine when new. I don’t know where you drive but that is not survivable on any highway where I live: you will be run over, crushed, and killed. I drove a 72 Midget with the 1275 engine and, while I have fond memories of it, would never, ever…

Exactly.

This is an entirely new car with an entirely new drivetrain that shares no components with past systems. I’m just too old and know far too much about chaos theory to give overmuch deference to “predictions.” If a publication doesn’t have enough data to reach a conclusion it should state that. Anything else is little…

Then you report that you don’t have enough data to issue a recommendation and leave it at that.

I’m sure this is a statistic-related math thing I don’t understand, but I’m not sure I buy downgrading a company based on “predicted reliability.” Just because other companies have had problems in the past means that Porche is predicted to have problems in the future? As if they haven’t learned anything from those…

The manual to my Golf R was like 300 pages long and I didn’t get 20 pages into it. I’m sure I’m missing something but I just don’t care enough to find out what it is.

Right?

I truly liked it.

I know. No mention of that either on CL or the dealer’s website. Crooks.

I think the idea is that it’s only $1,500 down and then only $1,500 a month, every month, until you die.

And they don’t even mention an actual sale price!

I can never upload a picture to Jalopnik. Try right clicking on the original image, then copying the original link to the image, then paste the link instead. Works well for me.

Could I offer you instead this near-contemporary 1974 Volvo 142 two door Coupe at about a fifth of the price? New cam, new headers, new exhaust? Weirdly, I think I could love this car.

Pretty fascinated by this 1966 Porsche 356 Speedster with only 1,967 miles at the low-low price of only $41,790. Must be a Black Friday sale because that’s, what, $100,000 off for this miracle? And don’t worry, you know they’ll finance you because:

If there isn’t a unifying theme this year across all of the Lifetime movies like Winter Storm Megan my holiday season will be ruined.

The more I read about charging rates, even with an ideal infrastructure, the more interested I am in hydrogen.

SUPER big contact patches. And MBs manual transmissions back then were only ok, auto’s pretty good. Don’t know about today

If this was Twitter, I’d be following you by now.

Yup. Damned shame.

I would think the chassis would have been great, the engine pretty good, not sure the transmission would have been super for autocross.
