  • Submitting a new frivolous acquisition - 991.2 Carrera GTS in agate grey with 7MT. I haven't had a "fun" car in years. The itch has been growing and I settled on a manual 911. I've been patiently wait

  • I've been looking for over 2 years for a Miami Blue 991.2 slick top with a 7MT and RAS, and finally found one. Carrera T with all the aforementioned options and 9k miles. Fucking love this thing.

  • Hah. It couldn’t go over 20mph at that point and was just going to the dealership from the truck. She’s home now. Will try to post more pics tonight but here she is.

What's up everyone? Took me a while to get here. A car we recently had this 86 Vette in the shop.

Guy from gym that has the huracan performante, recently took delivery of a 2018 RR Phantom. He's also ordered a 488 Pista.2d94f572942cb0e8671925ff23f95479.jpgb32a5cb71fd842012307071302ff7cf2.jpg

Shouldn't a guy like that have his own gym?

With a giant blower sticking out of the hood, doesn't the decal saying "blown injected" seem a little redundant?

 

I'm not surly 1% so I can't hang with the six-figure imports in this thread. But I did scrape together enough to buy this future ticket magnet. It's almost cruel having to drive this in logjam Austin traffic. Now is where you point and laugh because  it has the base 235-width, all-season tires and base suspension. (Rides good though.)

Pics are blurry...5.0?

If so, nice car. Change out the wheels and get fatter tires and it will look even better.

What's with the street tires?

If they badge that with Blazer, they should he beaten with a rubber hose.

The last production Demon and Viper just went for $1M for the pair on Barrett Jackson.

He's just going to drive it to car meet ups/ car shows

Went up to the IndyCar race at RoadAmerica last weekend. Here are a few of the cars I wanted to diddle.

As you should, because they are fucking awesome.

I asked the Lotus's owner whether the reputation for high operating costs was exaggerated, and he sighed, like it was the first thing that every car guy asked him. He gave a noncommittal answer about how he does most of the work himself, and that it needed a new clutch when he first got it. 

That car had the tiniest, most cramped cockpit I've seen in a while.

This, you can taste your taint, and fuck the V8.  Quad turbos for life

Anyone run a Tacoma 2x cab?  Probably gonna get one for my pops, but have no idea what to look for or spec.  

I can look at the trim sheet online between SR/TRD/LTD but which of these are actually worthwhile in actual use.  16" ? 17" ? 18"?

He's not hauling a boat or trailer so will never exceed the payload.  I'm thinking short bed is adequate for the occasional home depot run.  Automatic for sure.  Probably whatever safety parking sensors and etc since dude is getting old and never owned a big ass truck.  Toyota infotainment don't look too good so maybe not worth to go for premium upgrade.  

 

Basically it will be an on-road city card with occasional transport duties to work on house projects.

 

I have a 2011 Base 4x4, so none of the frills, its a truck. Love this thing, its damn near bulletproof, and takes me some awesome places.

 

3rd gens have had some issues with tranny and how it shifts. Apparently they have released some updates, and folks have seemed happier with it, but the one time I have driven one, I was not the biggest fan. I'd try and find a gently used 2nd gen, with the bulletproof 4.0.

 

Either way, its a Toyota truck.

 

Go check on the truck nuts thread for more info I'd imagine.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/sold-to-seoul-hyundai-reportedly-in-talks-to-buy-fiat-chrysler

 

Hyundai is reportedly seeking to buy all of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in a potential deal that could see the Italian-American automaker sold before CEO Sergio Marchionne retires next year.

According to unnamed sources speaking to the Asia Times, Hyundai is waiting for FCA shares to drop before “launching a takeover bid” starting this summer. The Asia Times also reports that activist hedge fund Elliott Management, which has more than $1 billion invested in Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors, and Hyundai’s parts division Mobis, is spurring the deal. In April, Elliott president Paul Singer pressured Hyundai to merge with Mobis and demanded it pay investors more than $10 billion in “excess cash.” Bloomberg reported in December 2017 that FCA and Hyundai began talks to co-develop hydrogen fuel-cell powertrains and transmissions. However, while Marchionne then said he saw the “potential of a technical partnership with Hyundai,” he dismissed talk of a merger of the two automakers.

FCA is a horrible agglomeration of too many platforms and way too many brands.   hyundai could probably fix the platform issue, at least.

Me too, ever since it turned into a mini sub.

Finally got around to a good detailing only to park in the garage while it's expected to rain for the next several days.  

Just about the one year anniversary of taking delivery in Austin last summer with my dad and son for a guys trip.  Same weekend Speith won the British Open - serendipitous timing.

I read a very angry motor trend article about the blazer. Gist is Ford is bringing back the bronco, jeep wranglers sell like crazy, Toyota selling 10yr old tech 4runners like hot cakes, so what does chevy do?

a super lame soccer mom mobile crossover.

unbelievable.

Sums it up well.

Ford/Lincoln are even bringing back RWD in the Explorer/Aviator which could sway me to buy one for the first time in forever. This is a huge fail by GM.

Good to see this thread cooking.   Doing a side by side of the Blazer vs Bronco is high comedy.  Christ.

Good shit. Seeing that thing get up to, and pegged at, 234 going down Döttinger Höhe was pretty bad ass, too.
