I can feel your pain. At least you were able to get there and on track. My car keeps throwing electrical gremlins at me. Sometimes I wonder if it is all worth it..... but what else are we going to do with our time and money.
To give you guys an idea of the power these M cars V8 (M5 and M8) have, I did a special BMW track event with other competent track drivers. I was in an M5 Comp. I repeatedly pulled 155 mph at the end of the straight on PBIR where my buddies C7 ZR1 pulled a best of 157. I nearly went straight to...
I was at a car storage facility locally recently. I counted 11 original Demons in storage, I was told 9 were owned by one owner. Never driven and in their delivery wrapper. As awesome as all these cars are, like others have said most will sit in collections and never see the street much less a...
Interesting reading this post. My buddy just picked up a mint '85 911 Carrera. He also owns a '21 Carrera S. It is really crazy to see how small that '85 looks by comparison. Similarly my brother has a C8 Corvette. To see it next to my C5Z makes the C5 look narrow and small.
Cars just keep...
Its funny you say this, I bought my C5Z and although it was low mile (29k) it was tracked some so it wears some very light battle scars. I bought it to track and have fun so that was perfect. I ended up doing full paint correction on it and fixing everything I could. It looks pretty perfect now...
It will depend on your driving use and miles used. The "wiggle" test is what everyone was doing the last few years I had my Z. Not sure if there is something more now.
For your info, I drove mine pretty hard. It had 100+ of 1/4 mile passes over the 7+ years I owned it. I purchased a GMPP...
I saw that car listed forsale. I always loved the RF edition. Congrats!!!
I owned a C6Z which I bought new. What an amazing car. I had so many fun times in it. Ran 10s stock on DR, Did 173 in the standing mile. Met and started dating my wife in that car.
I will warn you, I know of a bunch of...
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, this example of a 992 S is the lowest priced one in the country. Its a former rental car with two accidents. The next lowest priced one in the country is 95k and has a rebuilt title. The avg price of a normal clean title used 992 S is 120-190K depending on...
Its pretty sad that those that know the most about EVs would say that. My brother works at GM. They have to cut $3Billion out of their budget for next year to move towards EV tech. They are currently taking voluntary layoffs, but will move to full layoffs later this year.
As I watched the video of the '23 New York Auto show, I saw literally 90% of the brand new models were EV only. It lead me to thinking about local charge stations. During the last few years with this known build up to an EV world, not one..... NOT ONE charge station has been added to anywhere I...
I live in S.FL and every rich jerk New Yorker that moves here drive either a Bentley SUV or Range Rover. For the reason alone I wouldnt want to be put in a category with them I will never own either.
With that said, Its a beautiful ride. But you are too young for it imo
I understand. I never thought I would retire elsewhere, but once my kids are launched (10 & 12 now) I doubt we will stay in FL.
Our friends from Canada have told us so many stories of how quickly things have changed there. Yes its happening here too, but our generation seems to be holding on...
