How long have you had this?
It is calordās. Heās watching F1 racing. Iāll text him.
I just canāt get the movie āCarsā out of my mind when I see this pic.

Lovely when you love a car enough to keep it long term. I bought my 83 911SC in 84 with 1600 miles on it and my 69 911S in 1971. My son will inherit them. They still give me pure pleasure; not a rattle or squeak. Neither engine has ever been out.

That is an impressive track record Mr. Ron! If only everything (and everybody!) in our lives was as reliableā¦
Question isā¦ who will inherit your stereo system?

I guess Greg too. But who knows what it will be like then?! Maybe a chip in our heads.

Actually, I might take my Tele with me. Weāre quite inseparable. Again: 1967, even up trade for my Twin Reverb.
Yeah, I guess youāre right. It will not have enough āageā to be cool. It will be the equivalent of a 1971 Pintoā¦

Iāve had my Nissan Juke Nismo for almost three years now. Itās the first new car Iāve ever bought, and itās my second favorite car Iāve owned ever, and it reminds me a lot of my favorite car, a '64 Alfa Romeo Spyder Veloce 1600. The Nismo is perfect for my needs and has been a truly reliable and fun machine.

I always enjoy such stories. The best car is the one which works for you.

Iām loving the C8 Z51 Convertible. Looks like I will be downgrading in 2022. The handling is the main attraction with COGā¦ at 3S 0-60mph for stock Vette (Z51) and 500HPā¦ Z06 speculating 1,000HP in 2021 is like reallyā¦ H.S. that is a little muchā¦ yeah convertible Z51 with ~1G SP and not going 6cylinder twin turboā¦ Iām inā¦ with LT4ā¦ and the sump pump changes w/ racing optionsā¦
edit - LT2 not LT4, my apologiesā¦
I canāt wait to drive one.
I can still feel how exciting it was when my father would take me to the Chevy dealer when theyād introduce the new year. Theyād paper over the windows for a couple days and then the Big Reveal! Hot dogs and coffee and cake, it was an annual party. In '66, he couldnāt get me out of the bronze color SS396. And he went and bought one! As soon as I found out, I went straight thru puberty.

I know fast SUVs are held in low esteem on this thread, but I drove this X3M competition a couple times over the last 2 days. Really fun, yet practical, daily driver. Liked it a lot. Little hesitation below 2000rpms, beyond 2000rpms, itās a beast. Iām not a sophisticated car guy, I want fun, fast, ability to haul some construction stuff and luxury. Fits all my criteria.

It sounds perfect.
500 HP is amusing, whatever the package.

Great car for sure. A close business associate/friend has one. Sooo many options if you order one.
Iāve had many great German and Italian sports car over my younger years and I loved many of them. The only one that I never had a desire to part with was my 911SC. Fast forward many years and the reality of what I need is an SUV. My main reason is practical. My 20 year old son is permanently disabled and in a wheelchair. For a variety of reasons we donāt drive German cars in my family. I drive a Jeep SRT and it makes me smile every time I punch the gas.
