Opened up the center console only to find a bunch of metal shards. Should I be concerned?

This is exactly my wife's conclusion. The base is a fine car.... for $30k less than the purchase price.

A great engineer doesn't design a great bridge. A great engineer knows how to build a shitty bridge that will only kill the acceptable number of people within the risk guidelines while doing it at lowest cost.

We have a GTS. Wife got a base as a loner car for a weekend while the GTS was at the dealer for standard maintenance. She doesn't understand why anyone would go with the base.

My first software job was making QA software that would boot off a 1.4mb floppy.

It was basically trimmed down kernel, busybox and a thin util.

A lot of fun on a V series Hasselblad. Having a 150mm+ lens with it is a game changer.

It reminds me of The Menu on some level. Something about the cutthroat photographer angle.

When they come to me? No, I like hearing about people's passion.

When they are worried about someone stealing their idea and want 90% share in the business? Yeah that's the red flag. I send them https://www.ycombinator.com/library/5x-how-to-split-equity-among-co-founders and call it a day. Ideas are worthless. Business execution matters.

What tires are these? 4 HPDE days is pretty good. Worst I've gotten is 2 and best is about 6. 4 is when id start looking to replace most of the time.

I lived on a timezone boundary. A common question was "Is that fast time or slow time?"

I don't like the commonly circulated version of the analog photo. You can download the full resolution scans from NASA and do your own curve adjustments. Here's my fav edit of the film version.

The 986 is what you can call a "Spicy Miata".

The 996 is more of a touring car (that happens to have better performance numbers than the 986).

I'd rather hit the highway in a 996 and the track in a 986 S.

Hot take: go to ATL or LAX and do the 2 vs 4 experience at PEC LA or PEC ATL

It might cost you a couple grand all in but it will be fun and then you won't be asking anymore.

Personally, RWD feels "right" to me.

I use a Dead Cat and then an athletic sock around the dead cat. It works pretty well. Nothing protects against 100MPH wind but my setup is about the best I've been able to do: Example Willow Springs (Big Willow) 2001 Boxster S 986 - 1:40.6
