Best "Other Cars" photos

Post by 5chn3ll » Sun Mar 14, 2021 7:12 am

Post photos with any/all comments. No cheating. Mrs. S's Grand Cherokee at the Gold Mountain cut @ dawn.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

My 29 year old, "wrong wheel drive", too heavy, poor weight distribution, POS economy car, not equipped with any electronic driver aids, running at Thompson Speedway in Connecticut last June.
I get a lot of comments like "it's a lot faster than it looks" which is fun.
And I have a lot of fun driving the track.

Comments are not accompanied by a photo will be removed.

Photo for this post pending, so back off.

*edit* The last photo in my camera roll of my 986 before I traded it for my 996. This car was special to me in several ways. First of all, it was my first Porsche. Second, Mrs. S. and I found it CPO on the Pioneer Porsche lot, and we researched extensively for days before we went up there to see the car. We settled on a price ($25K - it was listed for $31K). It was one-owner, low-miles. It was worth $22K on the used car market, but I was wise to the IMS bearing issue and figured the CPO warranty was worth WAY more than three grand.

We rolled out of the dealership in our $25K CPO seal-grey Boxster on my 40th birthday...that was kinda cool.

It really was a beautiful car, and I genuinely regret not keeping it.

My former 1993 300ZX 2+2. While technically a sports car I never thought a sports car should weigh over 4,300#'s and only produce @220 hp. Welcome to the early 90's. Well it was a good interstate cruiser.

My two 996 Turbos. Blue is low mileage all original, I should probably sell it. Black is high mileage well used POS, just like all my other cars.

This was a few winters ago. We got 40" of snow... digging out would have been a life changing event. I borrowed a Bobcat to get rid of most of this stuff.

Been there. I just let Mother Nature do the hard work. I think it was about 3 months before we could get the 996 (left bump) out and about 4 weeks for the BMW (right bump).
