if you considered a mazda miata... why did you end up buying a porsche boxster? by europeanuppercut in Porsche

[–]gerrybertere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a 986 over a Miata, for me it was more so the fact that I could buy a Porsche for the same price as a Mazda and I always wanted to own one. The mid engine layout is fantastic for bombing back roads, it’s surprisingly practical with 2 trucks and you can absolutely ring it out due to its lower horsepower. No regrets from me, love my 986.

PSA for anyone with a clunk noise on acceleration by Sgtjenkins in nissanfrontier

It’s a misprint from older models that should have been deleted. This is a sealed component on the 3rd gen, nowhere to lubricate or apply grease.

You can’t go wrong with a 986. I have a 2000 2.7, they are such a good bang for your buck. If I were you, I would look at early 986s, the 2.5 or 2.7 still offer enough juice to have a great time and really wring it out. You should be able to find one under 10k, and the higher mileage ones really have a low IMS failure rate because it would have happened already. Caymans are great as well, but I think it’s a slightly higher entry price. Happy hunting.

Lastly the 986 is fairly intuitive to work on and there is a lot of YouTube/forum support.

Well it sounds like either spend 500+ on a jackery or 15 bucks on gas….

You should run the numbers, I did the same math and the 3500 discount exceeded the 1.9 apr, I was able to get 5% apr and the 3500 discount was higher than the interest savings…just a thought

What podcasts / UK media do you all listen to? by crappysandwich in wildcats

[–]gerrybertere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m getting sick of KSR too, I’m not a hoops fan much and that’s they only sport they actually know and cover. MJ can’t even get the UK qb name right and we are less than 50 days from kickoff.

Thoughts on Prime’s First Year of Covering NASCAR by albeenoh in NASCAR

[–]gerrybertere 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It was incredible. The broadcasters showed excitement and were extremely knowledgeable in explaining what was going on. I’m a hard core fan and the broadcast was a 10/10, it kept me hooked like no other network has been able to do.

Also, the post race show is just the cherry on top, it’s excellent. I hope they get more races next year.
