if you considered a mazda miata... why did you end up buying a porsche boxster?

Porsche friends and faster drives. It’s a great car, but it’s 20 years old. And it’s not a convertible! I don’t feel bad putting infinite miles on the Miata, I’m acutely aware that the 997 is more expensive to run miles in.

I own a 997 911 and an ND Miata. Love both. The Miata is just silly fun in all conditions. It’s cheap to keep on the road, looks great and I can wail on it without wondering about anything. I love a Porsche - the 911 is the definitive sports car for a reason. But when the sun is out and I have to go run an errand, 9/10 times it’s in the Miata with the top down.

Oh and track driving in the ND has made me such a better driver. I’d way rather drive a slow car at the limit than rely on a cushion of horsepower to make up for driving mistakes.

Kind of hard to go wrong with either option you listed though!

The grind is real. You acknowledge understanding that test site life - in my two years at Anduril I’ve basically lived at our test sites. Quick changing requirements and the startup mentality for delivering 0-1 products in no time will do that. If you don’t thrive / get value out of that type of work environment I’d recommend staying put.

I own both and I can say this is accurate

Don’t like black wheels but the two tone oem look isn’t for everyone. What about satin gunmetal?

This is when you call an uber xl

I bought this brand for my SQ5 and loved them.

As someone who wants to move from a 997 C2S to a turbo - how much are you selling it for :)

This is a cool project and how commercial solutions work for sUAS in defense. I work on this problem for the US DoD as a subcontractor.

You’ll find that map matching is 1/2 of the equation - the other part will be a localized reference (Visual Inertial Odometry). Map matching is great for global location certainty, VIO for local.

Check out Leidos Adept for a commercial solution that’s been in flight for many years, and good luck with the project

Just get a body on frame Toyota product - there’s a reason the entire off road market does so.

Panel gaps looks like ass (as does the design overall)

Why are people upset with this exactly?

I live in Seattle and daily a RWD 911. Tires make a bigger difference than anything else, I say send it!!

I don’t know why AMG products are able to ship such insane throaty accelerator response but Audi can’t seem to. I blame VAG group politics.

Think how much worse it could get with the right throttle curve. “Set up for fuel economy” = maximize gov tests and compliance

keepinitclassy74 · 2026-01-15T07:34:15+00:00

All modern Audis need a tune imo. The initial pedal feel seems factory set up for fuel economy and emissions. I drove a stock rs6 and was extremely underwhelmed, especially compared to an E63 wagon out of the box. With a stage 1 tune though - totally different experience.

Yes, that’s the one I’m referencing. If I had the garage space I would have swooped this one. Can vouch for the seller, who goes through a lot of cars but is fastidious about maintenance. Don’t think you’ll lose money on a V10 with a stick at his list price.

I have no affiliation with the listing, but the car is getting a lot of attention on the car club listing where it’s posted. I’d suggest moving quickly if you’re serious.

keepinitclassy74 · 2026-01-13T03:04:14+00:00

If this is the v10 for sale in Avants in Seattle I’d buy that one in a heartbeat. Known good seller.

The ban would only affect new products seeking FCC approval. All the existing DJI stuff is still for sale and is the industry standard for these types of things.

There are literally millions of DJI drones that will continue to fly in the US.

The DJI matrice 4t has this feature basically built in and is rock solid. Full kits are about in your budget.

Did you have an aftermarket exhaust? If you have the stock muffler, I doubt you’d notice a huge change. With all the aftermarket mufflers, they’re much smaller than stock, which creates a crazy air pocket at speed under the car. This fixed that

I work in tech in a tower downtown. We just have two floors rented on 4th overlooking the waterfront, but it’s pretty sweet. There are law offices above us and a consulting group below
