Hosstage Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 It's ok to admit that you're a little jealous that I owned one of these for a time. Probably my favorite car, though I still have a soft spot for my old Ford wagon with the 390. 1 Link to comment

Hosstage Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Just now, Rougarou said: man id pimp that. 401 or 360? 360. Ran like a top. Quadra Trac drive line with the vacuum locking switch in the glove box. Funny story. I bought it for $500 (it was 10 years old and a bit rusty), drove it for 5 years, sticking about $500 into it including exhaust. Sold it asking $500, kid comes out with his mom. Asks if I'll take $350. I said no, I can't do that, give me $300. He starts to speak, realizes what I just said, looks confused. I said listen, it's an old car, don't beat on it, don't let your friends talk you into going off road. Take the extra $50 for gas. I looked at his mom, she was smirking a bit. He drove off with a big old grin. I'm just trying to buy my way into heaven, $50 at a time. 2 2 Link to comment

JCtx Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Thinking of buying a '25 Cayman base 6MT (fully optioned, with all performance options, and most luxury options as well) before they disappear. It's the last year of the ICE Caymans/Boxsters, which is one of the most satisfying cars to drive at any price. But balking at the $100K price tag (at MSRP). I'm far from a large guy, at 5'10" and 162#, but felt claustrophobic in a Miata RF, so would never consider one. And neither a cloth-top convertible. The BMWs (owned an M3 V8) are not nearly as satisfying to drive as the Cayman, and the Cayman can be equipped much nicer, so it's either that, or nothing. 1 Link to comment

Hank in WV Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 C'mon down and I'll show you how to build one. yeah, he just sent for the new title. I like the bike but it bends my knees too much. Hate that keyless routine. 2 Link to comment

Yeah that was the first thing I noticed getting on the wethead rt, seat & peg relationship was a lot tighter. Well maybe not a lot but enough to notice. Did the guy have the right side battery panel? It was off in the CL pictures, tell him I said good luck with it, he’s gonna love it I think. Link to comment

Hosstage Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 My wife asks me why I always drive so fast in her Camry. I say it's because I drive a 1 ton van with 5000 pounds of crap in it every day for work. Any car is a sports car after that. All I need is an actual sports car and off to jail I go. I'm not a sports car or muscle car guy yet, still got my motorcycles. But one day.... (Those motorcycles have gotten me pretty close to jail. A muscle car would seal the deal.) 2 1 Link to comment

You just have to pace yourself and learn when you can or can't let it rip, after 60 years I'm still working on it. 3 Link to comment

Don't I know it! Came hammering out of an uphill turn on the bike yesterday,, hit a nice open straight and ran it hard up to about 95-100. Approaching a slight rise, back out, get it back down to about 65 in a 55, copper sitting up ahead in his squad waiting for knuckleheads to come over that crest at full song. I let it coast down to about 61 as I passed him. All good. One more talk avoided. 2 Link to comment
