for the record, I do like your car....I mean I like your old car better, but I have no dislike of porsches.....I think their ala cart pricing and service costs are a little nuts, but I get it...I understand the experience you are buying....and hey, for the money you spend, i can't argue that in 5 years, you will probably sell that thing for no less than you paid for it.

But $1175 for service, I mean, you are going to get some laughs from a 202,000 mile focus driver 😂

It's all part of the ownership experience!

I totally get it, they even check sunroof drains regardless if the car has a sunroof just because. Did they check rudder alignment? I hear that's only for uber-premium service...

for the record, I do like your cars (I'm not even sure which one it is now, I just generally trust your taste in cars).

Goddam......well at least the coffee is decent.....you know on primeday, I spent $100 and got enough full sync castrol gtx to change the oil in my 3 cars, two times each.

Wow, for <$200 I can the GS done at the Chevy dealer and that is for ~10 quarts of Mobil1 (gotta love the dry sump). All I need to do is check to make sure they put the drain plug back in. 😛

Ciocca Chevy. Friend took his truck in for a bad USB port on a new truck. Dropped it off. They called at 2pm and told him the tire was mounted and balanced and truck was ready to pickup. They drove it into the service bay and tagged the wall and cut the sidewall.

The 911 didn't even have a fingerprint on the interior when I picked it up.

I know you do. Hugs and kisses @UtahJoe.

Forgot I took this picture until I saw an article about these new BMWs.

I always loved a nice TR6

Same as my first new car other than the interior color. I can’t believe how small it is now relative to modern cars.

Saw one of those recently on BAT. Apparently they only made 600ish of them.

Yes. First was an 84 then traded that in for an 87 with 16V motor. When I texted the photo to my wife she said I should make an offer. Saw how much they sell for on BAT. Lol. Rather get a real German car.

What is your definition of a 'German car' ? I assume Merc, BMW and Porsche...interestingly enough, Porsche is owned by WV that is owned by Porsche, which makes WVs Porsches and Porsches WVs in a weird way, most likely a German ruse to get away with something...

I drive my wife's E30 occasionally. It is ridiculously small compared to anything modern. You really don't want to get hit in that thing.
