Sold a Hamilton tank ages ago that I wish I would have just held on to.

Turbo S definitely.

People have this untrue assumption that black cars and black interiors sell easier and clean better.

None of that is true.

Black cars show scratches like no other and black leather shows wrinkles like no other.

But lets say none of that is true.

People when buying a car do not prefer black on black. End of story.

Any interior color other that white or black is the easiest and any exterior color but black is better at hiding scratches.

Sure, if you put that package in Kharmann Ghia type body but the box never made sense. The thing people today seem to ignore is that there was the Kharmann Ghia when the 914 was around which made the styling Porsche chose even more of an odd duck.

I feel the same way. The 924 controversy I understood, but the move to water cooled was an obvious evolution. I not sure how people thought air cooled only would suffice forever. The 914 never fit and because there was the Kharmann Ghia it bothered people even more.

It’s not that they’re not awesome, they just not Porsche’s. They may be Audi’s, they may be something else, but nowhere in the historical design catalogue does a 914 fit. You could argue that it goes all the way back to the first Porsche car but that was an organic shape, not a box.

Huracan LP 580-2, Ferrari 458, Mercedes AMG GT, Audi R8, BMW M8 coupe, M4 coupe, M3 coupe, Mustang flat head V8, Toyota Supra, Toyota FJ cruiser, or old Lincoln Continental with suicide doors with a supercharged LS engine

Not my first choice of watch, but what watch would you rather have for the zombie apocalypse?

That reminds me of a lot of different watches that’s pretty cool. That case is wild, it is on the edge of failing but it succeeds very well because it’s clean and everything just goes together.

Apples and Oranges

Never thought I’d really like a red dial but wow. Beauty.

You’re right it started off as a Rover I-4 now it’s a Toyota V-6. the one I drove had a BMW s52 I-6 but I guess that isn’t standard. I haven’t looked at them closely in a loong time. Seems like the new Elmira you can get as a turbo I-4 or a supercharged V-6, very cool. If you ever get the chance to drive one, definitely take it.

I’ve never driven a McLaren, but I have driven all kinds of other cars and the car I’ve driven that feels the most driver oriented is the Lotus Exige. I think 430hp stock with BMW 6 cylinder on a 1000kg car and can easily be tuned to 550. Doesn’t really have any electronic tech to make you a good driver. It’s a street legal track car and your ass feels connected to the road. Totally different class of car but it is a drivers car and it is not boring at any time. They have Emeya coming out soonish?

$49,900 so I have $100 left for gas, Carerra 4S 54,000 miles, Ultimo Motors East 150 West Ogden Avenue, Westmont, IL 630-647-8122

I’m always looking for deals, if you take your time, you will find what you want though

I used to hate them but they’ve grown on me quite a bit and now I like them.

Cheaper movements need to be tuned carefully. Seiko can and does make one of the most accurate mechanical movements in the world, the Grand Seiko.

https://www.grand-seiko.com/us-en/collections

It is 100% mechanical watch driven by a flywheel whose accuracy is regulated by an electromagnet connected to a crystal. Accuracy is typically +/-1 sec per day.

The Quartz Tuna is +/- 0.5 sec per day.

The cheap movements like the NHxxx https://calibercorner.com/seiko-caliber-nh34/

Are in I can’t even estimate how many watches. A great many. It’s accuracy from the factory as you can see is +40/-20 sec per day. The movement however CAN be tuned to +/- 10 sec per day but it is a mass produced watch and time is money. The other thing is that this watch has a general lifetime of around 10-15 years. It’s cheaper to just replace the movement than to have it serviced. Movement is around $40-$60

There are 26 calibers of Seiko watches. The upper range would be Presage and then Prospex and the top being Grand Seiko. So it really depends on the particular watch and the particular movement.

I bought a 1 year old E36 years ago from a bmw dealer that had a tan Ferrari leather interior. It was custom, thankfully it didn’t have any Ferrari logos. One of my faves.

That is some serious crap when put in the context of “it’s a bmw”. BMW is less and less like BMW as the years go by.

It could be a Mazda, Toyota or a Honda. It’s a mashup. It could be anything. The whole be all things to all people in the name of being “popular” ruins the branding.
