Do you wash it with ocean water? I haven’t seen rust on a car built after 2000 - since... well before 2000. Granted, I live inland and fairly southern - but 2-3 years and rust? That’s ridiculous.

I’m really curious - if you ran a company selling something that was not essential (food-medicine-etc) and your marketing dept came to you and said your product was very popular. So popular, you could charge enough to make $17,000 profit on you product and people would buy it and you could be a very successful…

My understanding of the JD Power reports is that they collect all issues - regardless of whether it impacts the drivability of the car. There has been talk of separating NAV/Entertainment systems from car systems since I decent number of complaints are tied to those systems.

That’s the dumbest bullshit I have ever seen - and in the Trump era, that’s saying A LOT. You did make me chuckle at the pure insanity of it.

Holy shit, I never thought I would say “that’s a gorgeous 914" - and I am a Porsche mid-engine guy. But that is a gorgeous 914. I wouldn’t pay 150K for it - even if I had Bill Gates money, but it is pretty.

Good points - my first thought was “It’s a rally car that obviously has never seen a single shake down?” This car is so clean, I wonder if it’s done anything but get loaded on a trailer. It’s pretty but I don’t think it was built to ever really rally, which means it shouldn’t cost as much as one that has been. That…

I feel this one might be a total loss. But man, we make some crazy safe cars nowadays. I bet he’s sore now, though.

Awesome reference.

I didn’t notice that at first. That is indeed more old beater 356s in one place than I’ve ever seen. Those things are rare (and cost rare ass money). One of those will go for 26,500 with no engine or interior.

I saw that, too. I was going to complain about the other 911s they have, since prices are just insane. Then I saw this. I just can’t... Who typed, missing engine, transmission and interior. Good candidate for full restoration (Is there another option it is a candidate for?) and then typed 26,500 after all that? If…

Same where I live. I know it’s ridiculous, but I swear if they ever find me in a tower with a sniper rifle and a manifesto, it’s going to be about people having their fog lights on all the time.

I did a Track Night in America and ran with the beginner crowd since the track was new to me and I hadn’t had my current car on a high speed circuit before. The instructor admitted he prefers when the newbies don’t get the track insurance for exactly that reason. Lack of experience and and no fear of consequences is a…

That’s what I tell people when they say the predictable “I wish I could afford a Porsche” to me. I just tell them they already do... they just bought the wrong thing. :)

Oh my stars, I hate this. Whenever anyone has to explain something some whiney ass bitch has to say they are bragging. I own a Porsche - I mention it when I need to make a point about actually knowing something about owning a Porsche - and everytime I get this crap. Believe me, if you ever in your life get to the…

Hahaha. I am pretty sure he was implying that when they are turned off, they emit no emissions. A play off the fact that “partial zero” is a marketing BS term, like having “some infinity”. But hey, your response made me chuckle again, so thanks!

I have dog in the civic d-bags vs WRX d-bag argument. I’m too old for any of those twats. But you are not helping your statement by throwing out things like “boosted civics destroy exotics”. Your clarification of “on drag strips” make it marginally correct - but those cars are in no way going to be driven on the road.…

Thanks - and I included them because they are labels society uses to describe people and as such, like gender, could be seen as limiting.

I usually try not to do the “what else can I but” game with NPOCP, but this seems like something you would use as a truck - albeit a fun, quirky one, so it’s hard not to compare it not something contemporary. So it’s in collector territory but I don’t really like collectors pieces that started life as work vehicles.…

I feel like you are having trouble making your point, partly because I am having trouble seeing your point. I have one thought and one question , if you don’t mind the late intrusion.
