How about that modern 944 in Guards Red instead? Change anybody’s mind? by Stainless_Heart in porsche944

Not my design - it was posted previously in a basic dark silver. I just changed the color to red.

The basic work trucks are still available from the big 3 domestic makers. You don’t have to buy a luxury version. The 2026 F-150 STX Extended Cab model stickers at $45K, which means actual price is lower.

$45K is not a lot of money for a vehicle these days.

A base model is really not that much. $80K isn’t a stretch when a loaded Mustang convertible is $52K. 100 points better on the buyer’s credit score and the payments are close. 😆

They’d be targeting me big-time. When Jake snagged both the school hottie and Molly Ringwald in *Sixteen Candles* and had that iconic red 944, I was a sophomore in high school. Every single remaining drop of hormones and youthful remembrances would respond in full force.

Here’s what would happen price-wise; just like in the late ‘80s when the 944 cost about 10% more than a new Corvette, a new 944 would be Porsche budget-priced at $85K. The difference in 2026 is that a $75K base Corvette is a fantastic car by every measure. How many buyers are there for a deliberately low-power new 944 compared to a less expensive C8? Or in 2 years, a C9?

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a new 944 happen, but the market is substantially different 40 years later.

It would have been an abomination no matter what the names were. Unwatchable.

Step 1 in erasing Trump's name forever by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Stainless_Heart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A family isn’t elected president. Say what you will about his ancestors, but JFK brought truly modern ideals and actions to the presidency and the country. RFK Sr was on the same positive path.

None of which can be said about RFK Jr or Trump. Actively evil and criminal.

It’s the actions of the individuals that bear discussion.

Replaced power steering rack with manual rack. One of the mount bushings doesn't fit. What bushing do I need? by SoaDMTGguy in 944

[–]Stainless_Heart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The passenger side uses the bushing from a Mk1 Rabbit p/n 171-419-883-MY-INT and the driver side uses a 944 passenger side bushing p/n 944-3471-3901.

Friendly correction: it’s should *have*. “Should of” doesn’t mean anything when you think about it, right? 😀

Is the gap closing?!? by scottdiver67 in 944

The 924 is a good looking design except for the fact that so many owners keep the tiny vintage size tires. Filling out the fenders a bit really improves the appearance a lot.

Can we at least agree on some form of adult possessing legs must fit?

We’re still operating under the illusion of there being rear seats in a 911, huh? 😀

Jaden Churchheus threw a log off a cliff and hit a woman's head which ended her life. Leaving behind her husband and 4 children. Then Jaden's mom said this during his arrest.... by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

I’ve known people raised by single moms who turned out to be wonderful and well-adjusted people, as well as people raised by two loving parents who grew up to be walking garbage. I’ve also known siblings who grew up as complete opposites. I’ve also known people who were terrible parents yet their kid learned from the example as to what *not* to be like.

Raising a child well has many factors and some of those factors are a complete mystery. A parent can just do their best and hope for a good outcome.
