Says literally you and no-one else, ever.
That’s because you’re basic.
If you scratch it, you just throw it away and buy a new Porsche. Easy.
One college education with out-of-state tuition
That actually looks incredible.
Oh I can participate in this one... about 50ish miles from home base, i was driving along in some Stop and go traffic on a 30mph road. In my 1996 f150, when all of a sudden the clutch pedal goes to the floor... oh great. I pulled over as much as I could on the side of the road hazards on to investigate... I became an…
I still go to AutoShows, but that’s because I can go on industry days or early in the morning before they open. No crowds, and the freedom to really get your hands on some stuff.
I still go to auto shows, especially when I can try out the interior space of cars without the harassment of a salesman till I want to test drive the car.
Oh, and as far as speed and handling and the rest goes, I’ll defer to what longtime Ferrari guru Michael Sheehan wrote in 2011: “If one had access to a time machine, a used 550 bought for $75k could be zapped back to 1972, and with nothing but a set of slicks, would probably win the GT class at Le Mans.”
The 456 is my favorite Ferrari because it’s just got so much class. Get one of those in dark blue and it could compete with any Aston for speed and refinement. And, since the V12 made so much torque, it was a pretty low-stress engine and ended up being relatively reliable.
Need for Speed taught me all about these beauties, and I’m pretty sure Nicolas Cage is pointing at a 550 when doing his “self-indulgent weiners” line in Gone in 60 Seconds. That line is pretty ironic now, considering that any 550 you’d see out and about is probably owned by a connoisseur and not a new-money whatever.
$34,495 invested in a moderately aggressive index fund in 2002 would be worth $109,000 today. Just saying, maybe that wasn’t the greatest investment.
Not a German, but she seems a little long in tooth for Germany now. The times they are a changin.
“ first person to correctly ID this car wins me saying something wildly favorable about them on their preferred social media outlet.”
Yeah, I mean, it was a good article, but still some serious clickbait. Perhaps a more appropriate title would have been “Car transporting propane grill...”
Disappointed to see that this was merely a car transporting a grill and not a car equipped with a functioning propane grill inside like the headline seemed to suggest. Oh, well. It’s Florida we’re talking about, so there’s always tomorrow.
And yet that speeedo has 20% more range than the Delorean needs.
