I’m not counting on that. They’re not big because of any functional reason, they’re big because that what sells. Electric or ICE, smaller trucks just can’t carry as much freedom.

Spring break: Annapolis, MD, to New Orleans, LA, to Fort Lauderdale, FL, to Annapolis in a week. Eight guys.

Blast from the past but:

Very jealous of the 250. Almost bought one but missed my chance, always regretted it. And there are certainly roads I’d drive these cars on, but not many.

Can you keep up with the speed of the cycles with hydraulics? More predictable because less compressible, but now you’re moving and then reversing noticeable mass back and forth thousands (?) of times per minute.

Pumas. Choice.

Making it perform worse in the process, of course?

Exactly this. Everyone wants a manual until it’s time to put down a deposit.

This is one of those selection bias questions which will give the appearance that brand loyalty is a pervasive thing. My vote is here to signify that I, at least, am NOT loyal to any particular manufacturer.

But I think there are more than a few people HERE who don’t vote based on “Reasonable Price.” Instead, I read every day people writing that they are instead betting that someone else will go ahead and be Unreasonable, and deciding on that basis.

I’m more just generally commenting that, almost every day, I read “Well *I* wouldn’t pay it, but someone will: Nice Price.” And I think that’s not a great way to place your vote. If OTOH these cars go for $10k, then that’s the right price for this one that appears to be in great shape.

Good for you though!

Gee, someone with a large vehicle equipped for towing but which was not actually towing anything hit you in a parking spot hard enough to damage your vehicle and then left without leaving a note. This is shocking I am shocked.

Porsche makes them for single DIN slots and double DIN. Seem to be going about $1300. That seems quite pricey, but if it’s something you drive for years it comes down to not much per drive. And similar head units that are appropriate for 40 year old cars seem to go for about $500, so you’re really asking yourself…

She’s been robbed, this isn’t even close!

I think he means “during a lethal pandemic.”

There’s a lot to be said for the “Wisdom of the crowd” theory. Given enough voters, even if they use different criteria, the vote does turn out to be accurate.

Yup. 89 944 Turbo, though with only 18k, went for $67,000 last week, naturally on BaT, and everyone applauded. That’s just nonsensical.

But just because someone did that doesn’t mean they didn’t overpay for it, which is my point. $10k for  this particular 16 year-old car seems iffy to me. I’ve overpaid for a car, it doesn’t make you a bad person. But it does mean I still overpaid for the car.

Look I am old, and I’m so old school I drive an air cooled car and I hate traction control and I don’t feel good about anti-lock brakes and I think buttons on steering wheels are the Devil’s work.
