I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.

Still getting used to the shifter and the clutch - it feels so different coming from a Focus ST!

That have the 5.7 or the 6.4?

Both the worst 911 and the best 911.

And for sure an excellent photograph.

Thank you for the messages. For me, it is only the best 911. Is it because I've bought into the hype of it being the last of its kind (cable throttle, hydraulic steering, no traction control, etc)? Yes. Is it also that because it's far and away the only one I could afford? Also yes.

The best car is the one you can afford to enjoy. I still regret not buying a C4S, but that was another life decision that worked out for the best.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Took the Boxster S out for a drive over the weekend and it always reminds you why you bought it. Of course it is a bit shabby and has the 2nd popping out issue 6 speeds of that era had but fine I will fix it at some point when I find an independent who will fix the syncro and not just want to replace the whole box.

This is a good car and a very good photo.

I am learning I never posted a photo of my M3 I took during a fall drive. It has been nearly six years since I bought it. I still love every single mile with it.



We went from 70 degrees one day to rain and snow the following day. I have not been able to properly winterize the car since and I worry I might not be able to this year. Kinda stressing me out.

Don't get me wrong, I love my 996. It's a fanatic sports car/grand tourer. I just also think, objectively speaking, that it's the least best 911. AKA, worst. But best for the price. Maybe.

Did a dumb and sold my rock solid reliable fun 2009 Civic Si with 120k miles for a 240k mile manual trans 4x4 3rd gen 4Runner. That said, first car I ever sold for a profit.

This is Interlagos Blue. It is a very neat color of paint. In direct light it is a very rich blue, at dusk it can take on a little bit of a purple hue.

Protanopia, so I wouldn't know if it was purple. But I was just interested in the name, as a blue BMW-haver (Mediterranean blue).

All black. After seeing the caramel option in person it wasn't doing it for me. I went in for the carbon fiber accents and suede headliner because it really transforms the interior. No interior pics currently (and it's raining a ton today) but I'll update with some when I get a chance.

I'm taking it in on Monday to get Xpel Ultimate installed all over the front clip, fender flares and rocker panels. It can't happen soon enough. I don't want to live every day in fear of rock chips both from huge fuckoff pickups in front of me and from my own huge tires kicking up stones.

Pretty sure only one of those has 4 cylinders.

Edit: correction, 2 of them. Forgot the 3 cylinder ST was non-US only.

The S2000’s design holds up so well. A minor facelift and it wouldn’t look out of place in the showroom today.

There was a really clean one in the neighborhood we walked past recently, and my wife did not at all believe it was a 20 year old car when I told her.

I know I’m biased, but as a former owner of several Miatas as well, this is an objectively wrong opinion. The proportions of the S2000 are much more striking than any Miata. Loooooooong hood helps a lot in that regard.

If I hadn't gotten an E92 M3, I'd have been looking for S2000's. Great looking cars even still. Definitely a mutual admiration society when I see owners of those cars out, definitely can't complain about cars that rev to a a billion. I also have an NA Miata and it's gorgeous too!!

2006 Cayman s prior to going on the lift for winter maintenance and upgrades. Thought I was going to keep it stock for a bit but I went to a few end of season autox events to catch up with my old racing buddies and caught the bug again. I stopped doing track days and hill climbs in 2011 when I sold my Exige, can’t wait to “ruin” this car 😜
