What does it say that I read the title as:

A motorcycle. 

All aircooled 911s, but especially the 993. I spent an afternoon driving a 993 C4S and it wasn’t particularly quick, it sounded awful, the interior was outdated (for a 90s car), the handling was nothing special, it looks like a ‘60 911 seen through a funhouse mirror, and yet they’re still worth six figures.

Hey, I sold it to her, and I talked with her this morning - I just want to say, I legit had no idea. This was my grocery getter and city escape vehicle, and the steering was vague as hell but I chalked that up to GMT2500 handling, or lack thereof.

If anyone is to blame, shouldn’t it be the Suez Canal pilots? I mean, that’s their home turf and they’re on the ships to effect a safe transit. If they failed to do that, why isn’t it their fault?

What?

I always thought it was telling me to go to McDowell’s

So VW been selling pre-production cars for how many decades? 

Hasn’t GM been building EVs all along?
