It’s really the taxes - while I don’t have numbers in front of me, my understanding is that competition on the actual gas sales is very tight and basically almost a loss-leader to get people inside to buy snacks and drinks, which have a much higher profit margin.

Oh man, that’s the one that should be painted in a team color and used for tailgating. I’m assuming Philly, since it has an Eagle motif (or a few college teams with raptor mascots). That is a triumph of bad taste!
I will never understand will someone would add a turbo, do suspension upgrades and then never go on a track. Why did you do those mods? I understand these can be made to be nice time attack/xcross cars - they were on my short list of track project cars.
I’m right there with you. They made some poor schmuck take pictures of this like it’s a car - hell, I’m wondering how they transported it to the junkyard without all the bits getting lost.
Most of the people complaining are lost causes - but you seem reasonable, so I want to give you some info that might mitigate your distaste for having to wait behind a cyclist.
Please tell me you are trolling here - do you have no understanding of basic child curiosity? And if you are telling your child all these things are dirty and horrifying - great job, you just gave them a life time of hang ups and insecurities.
This is one of the best examples you could pull out - I loved my Boxster and Cayman - and both would track so well for stock cars. The other people do mention it has less power - but that’s what I love about them. Porshce has always brought the smaller weapon to the fight - and wins a lot of the time. I would joke I…
Yeah, I can add a personal story of watching a Hellcat go into limp mode. Went to an SSCA Track night in America and one of the drivers had their new Hellcat. The event it 3 20 minute sessions (very common to avoid street cars getting too stressed on the track). She did not it through any of them without ECU issues…
Nostalgia is a funny thing - that said, your 74 was just at the beginning of the emissions changes. For example, the 1970 had a 345 V8 option - the most of the engines in the muscle cars were often under-rated from the manufacturer to try to appease insurance companies.
Man, the spoiled generation - 6.5 sec for 27K. I still walk around stunned there are family sedans running this fast. I love the guy “my X3 is okay for daily driving at 5.3 sec” like somehow he is making do - but just barely.
I did! In April we were in Morroco and went on a cheesy Ride-A-Camel thing. It was okay, but two of the camels had their 1-month old babies along. Crazy cute.
Haha, completely. But now you know why there are those of us worried about the level of “entitlement” in the younger generation. This kind of thing can have broad repercussions for the whole market, so it’s not just watching these idiots get themselves in trouble.
Oh, there was an understood caveat to this and every car buying article. Allow me to explain, “If you own a Chevy Cavalier or Pontiac Sunfire, go buy another car immediately, even if you have to take out a 96 month loan and roll $5,000 negative equity into it.”
I have to agree - and serious detailing and you could almost make a 1000 bucks. I’m surprised the ad is still up, to be honest.
Thickness of a dime? That’s 0.053" according to Google - and 1/8" is 0.125 - considerably more than a dime. Granted, I’ve stumbled over a slight bump in concrete in my office - and occasionally, just dragging my feet on carpet (in some new shoes recently, in fact).
That is an interesting question - and not one I’ve seen addressed too much. If the weight was the same, cornering should be pretty much the same - and in that case, the RWD would likely come out ahead since accelerating in RWD is benefited by the weight transfer.
I’ll give a bit more answer the other guy - remember how BMW is always on about their perfect 50/50 weight balance? Remember in the story they mention using the weight up front to your benefit? Is it making sense?
I tell everyone, the Boxster (and Cayman) are the real deal. And hilariously, by far the most practical of two-seaters. The only downside is cost of ownership, which is substantial. Buying used ones isn’t even that bad, since the depreciation is high for some reason. But everything else costs money. That said, if you…
