Yup. Honda still does not get it. This is one FUGLY car. As former owner of Honda’s products, such as Acura Integra GS-R, Acura Legend LS, Civic SI, Acura TL, Acura RSX TypeS, Acura TL TypeS, I’m DONE with Honda/Acura. They need a major shake-up. Current line up of vapid toaster-looking appliancars won’t drag me into…

*cough* MIA...gi.

“The reason people are asking $220,000 for a 1998 and 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo is because they are high on methamphetamines”

The ones that cannot get TL TypeS in 6 speed. I do recall SHO was offered in 6MT at one point.

Took a 3.5 week trip to Italy, where my rental was measly Renault 5008D. I never went off-roading before, so, using a mini-minivan to drive on twisty mountain dirt “roads” in Italy seemed like a perfect idea. That itself deserves a Jalop write-up, but long story short - I came home lusting more such adventures and JK…

But your next of kin might???

Camden, NJ. Will make Detroit seem like Austin.

*cough* my garage has not seen anything but a DSG-equipped Nissan...

;-) ...not that I don’t lust after something to toss around, meanwhile. One day soon, perhaps...

That’s a cute license plate - is that an average $$$ of a repair bill to FYX this car?

I always had a soft spot for Porsches, don’t get me wrong. I walked away from a sweet Audi Q5S deal after I drove new Macan and was completely blown away. However, I ended up going with a very anti-climatic.... Wrangler JK. It just ticked off more boxes in “FUN” column for me than all other SUVs. It’s rough,…

Mostly Silicone Valley types brought on these shores from the same home country of the company that curryntly owns the brand.

Thing that I always disliked about Porsches is how generically similar they are to each other. On the road, I couldn’t tell you whether one was from 2004 or 2016. Also, the gremlins/legendary repairs that Porsches are known for were major turn-off for me. That, and the fact that you see so many of them. GT-Rs are…

I don’t think it was mild. It’s very wide. Definitely wider than it feels inside. Believe it or not, I had RSX Type-S that could easily sit 4 adults. GT-R could not even sit my 4 year old daughter, without her having to sit with her legs folded on rear seat. My friend was unlucky to sit in rear on a 2 hour trip. Even…

You can get a new one for about $80 - 85 (invoice). And that’s going to blow the doors off damn near every German-badged “performer”

*Raises hand* - this was one of the reasons I sold mine after 1.5 years of ownership. While you get used to banging/bucket of rivets rattling/etc., the thing that really killed it for me was the experience of driving under 80mph (I’m being conservative) was not very pleasant, after novelty wore off. It felt like…

Mentioned it here and elsewhere: 99.97% of people who noticed or knew the GT-R car would be guys. It’s the ultimate sausage magnet. I had girls ask if it was a new Altima (“yes!” I replied), someone in North Carolina asked if it was new Mustang (yup. Nissan Mustang GT-R. Newest edition - look it up)... and some dude…

“In fact, have you ever heard anyone say that a GT-R would be better with a manual? I haven’t.”

Bought my GT-R that way. At invoice, nonetheless. Saved $18K. Drove 1000 miles from Atlanta, up north. Had some bewbs flashed by cutie in WRX. Some back-town sherif wanted to see me floor it (I politely declined). Nearly ran over black bear cub... and fuzzy bunny. (Great brakes, them Brembos) within minutes of…

Dem be original 22”, son! That’s also “vintage bronze” finish. Not to mention the partially successful attempt to make the car transparent. Some parts did, some didn’t. Dat effect is... rustic, doe.
