Well since you wanted 930s...  Its actually quite an awesome one. '77 Carrera Turbo. It spent a long time in the garage as a storage shelf, but now it's being driven fairly regularly. Aureus fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Oct 27, 2013 |

Oh my, what a beauty. I seriously think the 930 is the very best in terms of looks. And I mean that as a diehard Porsche fanboy, that styling is my absolute favorite

It looks bone stock but I've done quite a bit of performance-related upgrading making sure to keep everything as original as possible. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that is my real-deal dream car right down to the  gold basketweaves pics pics pics

Generally it's fairly obvious with people wearing cologne or perfume and I am pretty sensitive to it anyway. It's not like it's a daily driver for me and I don't generally give random people rides. If I'm going somewhere with someone I will usually request they not scent themselves. It's just a thing for me I guess. I prefer smelling the leather and the exhaust and stuff because it just smells so good. I don't make it weird but if I have the option... no perfume! The flames are really a lot of fun. It scares the poo poo out of people and the accompanying sound is just awesome. Lots of entertainment!

I suppose it's no different to a neighbor who wouldn't let people wearing jeans sit in his car because the rivets could possibly mark his leather.

I had a few stupid stripes on my wheel from wearing my pocket knife  After I caught myself doing it (which was like the 4th mark on the wheel) I stopped carrying that knife.

Saw a cyber gray C7 driving around today and tracked it down to a nearby Chevy dealer. It's a customer's car awaiting delivery. I've seen a red one a couple times around town, but I think this gray might be its best color. The interior looks like it came out of a much more expensive car.

Both walked straight past me to another guy who was looking at it. They must have assumed that my car was his, and that his shitbox Corolla was mine. One of them said something about trading "his" car for the Corvette, but they shut up when I walked over and got into my '13 S4 and the other guy got into his rusty Toyota. I'm 35 but look about 27.

Thought you guys might appreciate this. It's a coworker's Volvo 244. Cleanest 240 I've ever seen. It ALWAYS looks this clean.  Oh, look, there's my beat-up FC sneaking into the picture! (Runs better than it looks, I promise!) Spotted this on a grocery run. Not something you see in the wild every day:   A coupe, no less!

How would that even work? Wouldn't the c6r just have a normal sequential manual like any other race car, except in the back? If so, there wouldn't be any pressurised coolant or fluid to circulate AFAIK

You're missing the mile-long string of RPO codes.Slavvy posted:How would that even work? Wouldn't the c6r just have a normal sequential manual like any other race car, except in the back? If so, there wouldn't be any pressurised coolant or fluid to circulate AFAIK These days, a lot of racing gearboxes have added oil pumps to the design. One example, the Xtrac used in Indycar. I think the ZL1 Camaro (and probably the upcoming Z28, as well as the C6 ZR1?) actually have gearbox / differential coolers.
