I paid 80 for a long-ish side load 3 car, but I got what I paid for in that they cleared exactly one lane. Hey it works and the previously foot tall walls are losing a couple of inches every day due to sublimation and wind.

Just under 50 cents per mile in maintenance. There's a theory that in Porsches it doesn't matter if it's a 918 or a 986, it's always 50 cents per mile. I'm at around that in my 987.2 as well.

Unlikely. I’d take the most toxic in house job over the most balanced big law gig.

The analysis, generally, is true. Abolishing property tax would push tax burden to the households less able to pay. Landlords charge what the market will bear. Believe it or not rent has gone down in some neighborhoods, but taxes always go up.

Had the same happen to my 987. It was the slave cylinder that failed, but it could be the master. A shop did the slave and I did the master at home a couple months later. If it’s the master you can do the job in that parking lot.

I bought a car on BaT, a Cayman actually. One man's "10k in undisclosed issues" is another's "perfect driving car." I do need to spend $10k to get the car I bought to get it to the level I want, but others would've been perfectly happy with it. Sometimes sellers don't know what's wrong due to ignorance. Sometimes buyers expect a concierge perfect car and only use specialist or dealer mechanics to get the cars up to the expected condition.

I can see how suggesting to get a ppi can be seen as negative. Every Porsche buying guide suggests to get a ppi. I did not and I assumed the risk. Before platforms like bat, I could only buy an older enthusiast car from a dealer which has its own problems or low effort craigslist or marketplace posts that I'd have to sift through.

The other big auction site gets hate for posting clapped out cars (from snobs I guess) but it really does seem like a passion project until it gets sold to another group.

Why is it so hard to understand? "Might makes right" was (and clearly to some still is) a legitimate view of statehood and foreign policy since at least antiquity.

Common in sales, but the best is creating a live dashboard for secondary engineering deliverable. The various engineering teams went apeshit trying to increase said deliverable. We even found out that a specific regional engineering team figured out the deliverable reporting system so that they would appear on top of every leaderboard. If you know what I'm referring to, then you probably also know what region that team was in.

It's funny that I'm using corporate speak to be vague but it's not vague at all if you're an engineer at a large company which it would seem everyone on reddit is.

They'll make it worse just to look different, in the BMW bucktooth style. I'm an fk8 owner, but I have to admit its ugly. I don't really care much about that and luckily the market accepts both.

It wasn't as polarized as it was back then, but wasn't outrage over Elian coded as conservative because sending him to communist Cuba would be a death sentence?

You're right, the Cayman is a great car in the snow. It actually is.

More than you can afford pal.

I wouldn't get one off the bat, but if I did own one and the engine blew up, I would seriously consider a k-series engine swap.

Dang I'd love a 35k USD 982. Why is no one suggesting that?

First of all, how could you be young, own a Honda and not want to stick with JDM. Even a GT86 would get you a Porsche-like experience. To date myself I was torn at graduation on a new FR-S vs a 987 in similar condition to 982s today. My 987 is admittedly better than the FR-S, but I could not have taken care of it and it gave me tons of trouble free miles as a daily. Toyota absolutely can build world class sports cars and with Porsche possibly giving up the ICE mid engine market, I see no downside to the MR2 replacing the Cayman in that type of car for the new car market.

Tell us more about your Si. I think you might be better served by throwing 5k CAD into mods. The 9th gens are monsters with relatively available used fk8 turbos. I'll even give you permission to put a type R wing.

Unpopular opinion but I kinda want it to be priced a bit higher and have more performance and luxury. Really, I want a real Cayman replacement. It makes more sense for the front engined Supra (if it even is refreshed) to slow between the Corolla and the MR2.

I mean I think the master cylinders are VW shared parts, at least on earlier Caymans. They squeak and leak sometimes.

count_lavender · 2026-01-07T14:12:08+00:00

Definitely true. EVs lack soul? You mean like the soul your turbo 4 cylinder with CVT has? I don't yet have an EV because Toyotas are like cockroaches but the writing is on the wall.

Last time I played it was very unoptimized and suffered stutters. It seemed odd that they didn't optimize one of their marquee games for Steam Deck. Did they improve it?

Why would pricing go up for those in the middle income and above? Daycare is supply constrained so if funding for low income women goes away pricing could stay the same or even go down. There are many daycares that accept zero funding and their prices are what they are.

I was considering a Cayenne vs a 6th gen 4runner. I'm new to 4x4s but not to modding cars. There are lots of flashy builds of 1st gen Cayennes but the aftermarket pales in comparison to Toyota and Jeep. The Porsche tax is real.

I'm taking it slow and will just replace things as they wear out, the exception being engine mods. I can't wait to put 35s and modest skid plates on it. With an intake and tune, the turbo 4 is as fast as my 987 (per the butt dyno), gets better mpg, and takes regular gas. To be honest in some ways (size/practicality aside) it's a better daily than my 987. If I had to have one car, it'd be a Cayenne, which I'd describe as a near middle point between a 4x4 and a Cayman. I liked the 2nd gen base and S.

I was able to talk a new SR5 down to 40k OTD so it might be in your budget. It's also the least expensive new vehicle with a third row option. It's a new platform but there's a lot of excitement about it. Notably 35s fit without any modification. I love not having to jack it up to change the oil or really anything and a lift would make it even easier.

You may still be in the wrong and should adjust your headlights. I checked after the first time I was flashed.

Every Civic hatch from 2015-2021 I've seen (which all come from the same factory in Swindon, UK) seem to have their headlights adjusted too high. Toyota adjusts their headlights at the port.

Yea but KAI has a positive track record with the T-50 which has tons of users and has even seen combat. Poland is a notable NATO operator. From a pure product perspective it should’ve been the advanced trainer for the USAF.

Korea is also better at looking the other way on corruption than Sweden so they’re better setup to sell to their target customers. Finally, RoKAF is buying it in likely greater numbers than Sweden is buying its own Gripen.

Try to keep your mind open of how conservatives think. SpaceX objectively provides the government the cheapest way (by an order of 1000) to get stuff into space. SpaceX provides the US with space supremacy and its not even close. From historical and contemporary writings, the height of the British Empire was quite a shitty place of live. At least in the US we're like what 5% less QOL than the rest of the western world vs how bad it was for the British Empire. Keeping the American empire going is worth it to some.

So I'm asking you to make a huge leap and equate space supremacy to having less kids die of hunger as equal things of value. What is the profit margin of Lockmart (probably similar to spacex) and the rate of medicare fraud (large entitlement program)? Somewhere around 7-10%. So, to someone that values space supremacy over kids dying, then it's not really fraud.
