Cars We Drive!

[clee1982]

don't want a hero car anymore, if I'm getting an old car, it better be cheap, enough... (<$20k for sure...)

Let me restomod your car of choice. I'm bored.

You and me both

Looking forward to seeing the process. Weekend car has always been a daydream as I've had company vehicles for 20+ years.

If this were true you wouldn’t have companies like Singer or ICON.

Ironically, I am debating getting a "SINGRR" vanity plate as my car's way of speaking out against the abuse against clean, unmolested 964s at the hands of Singer.

3000GT VR4? it should be positively complicatedly annoying... (no idea if they're reliable, just thought old car with 4 wheel steering/active aero what not got to be more likely to break)?

I think if I saw that vanity plate from a distance, I would presume your car is a Singer. Then as I got closer I'd realize it isn't and I'd wonder why you have that plate.

I imagine the anticipation really has you adrenaline going! Congrats and can't wait to see photos of it!

Good point. If there's one thing I hate, it's having to explain stuff to people (don't ever get tattoos). Pass.

And yes, very excited, much more so than I was for my RS.

Pics to come.

. If you respect those cars. And tweak them? Super car fast.

There is a little old lady owned red 3000gt in my building. Or late middle age single lesbian (but still very little) if I had to really guess.

Badly needs a paint correction but I bet that will be a fun purchase for someone in the future.

No idea the mileage but I'm guessing relatively low since it is infrequently gone. Probably just a fun city weekend car. I suspect it is well maintained. Paint is beat from age and poor washing but she does keep it washed which is a good sign for overall care.

VR4 though? that's the rare stuff.

First one of the season, in automatic so . The day prior I saw an old body automatic Miata.

The new status symbol of my area...because walking two blocks to the beach is for plebs

I think the new Vette is automatic only because they dumped so much money into the DCT. It’s looks are growing on me and I expect the Z06 and other models will be quite a performance bargain. If the Z06 gets the rumored flat-plane crank motor then it’ll sound amazing.

 

[clee1982]

Vette always had great bang for the buck, and the entire line is going DCT only right?

I had not known that actually. Could’ve sworn I read that Chevrolet was offering it in a manual, however, a quick google search has me worried that’s wrong. How sad. What’s next, Mustangs?

Love what they chose for the cover photo.
