Note that in the 991.1 year was the first one with electric steering, it’s not that great. Tolerable but not great.

I’ve had both a 4BW and a 991.1 and a 991.2, with 997.1 and 997.2. All manual 4S. Great cars but if something needs fixed or worked on, your gonna pay. All of these 3.8 motors can bore score. The 3.0 turbo motor does not so far. but the maintenance schedule is pricey, every four years plugs...

Who said anything about selling them? Police radar is cheap FM/CW waveform or simple unmodulated pulsed, waveform. It’s not frequency hopping or phase coded. Plus you don’t stand right in front of the horn antenna, and it’s in the front grill and/or rear bumper under the skin. So no worries...

Police radar is really crude, easy to jam with wideband noise. Noise diode, band pass filter, amplifier, some cabling and antenna, front and rear. Triggered by the alarm from your radar detector.

Took it out today, it’s 52 or so. I smashed up a S4 once by driving it on performance tires in the winter once. So I don’t take the BW out till is 45 and sunny. No way I’d take it out in sub 40 weather. It had been sitting for three weeks now. But it fired right up. It’s been an actual mid...

too cold here for a drive today.....only 1200 miles since bought new in November.

I just make sure they are knocked out before they go in the trunk for disposal.

The board of directors of the corporations decided that they could make more profits by moving manufacturing overseas. Or to Mexico. Labor is cheaper and lax environmental rules.

True, But what about the raw materials? So yes, Toyota has engine and tranny plants and final assembly plants in the US, but where do they source the raw materials to cast an engine block? A tranny housing? gears? I mean even the carpet is probably made someplace else like the far east or...

I’m curious on that, as most cars use parts from all North America or Europe too. So even if final assembly is Michigan, will the tariffs still apply? Will it be on assembled vehicles or be on the parts too? In some cases parts moves across borders multiple times before final assembly, will they...

The debt ceiling is looming. During the campaign Trump told his minions not to raise it, to default. Then just last week during the CR, he wanted it extended. Sooooo let’s default. Anyhow, his minions will be in DC soon, and because I look like a bland above middle aged white guy, tourists ask...

I agree. He lives in a flat area, takes the same stupid on ramp onto a boring road on every test drive then raves every car he tests is the best thing ever.

Nah, I’m going to enjoy the brainworm hearing. I mean, does he still have it? Did it crawl out one night perhaps lured by a piece of liver on a string? Was it preggo??? Sounds like the Wrath of Kahn when Ricardo placed the worm thing into Checkov’s ear. Remember that?

Well let’s see, Orange Jesus gets in Jan 20…the debt ceiling will be hit at around that same time, then we get entertained by the cabinet candidates senate hearings….the ones with brain worms, paying off a sexual assault claim, saying Jan 6th terrorists are hero types and more. All that will...

It’s 65 here in the mid Atlantic today so I’ve got the BW out to clear out the cobwebs from sitting for close to three weeks.

I’ve bought and sold cars with Lindsey Cadillac in Va, with no problems or issues. However I’m very upfront and tell them I’m not going to purchase anything extra. That’s no to wheel and tire, to pdr, to extended warranty and all the other add ons that can easily tack on an extra 8K to the...

I’ve bought and sold cars from them. https://wtop.com/consumer-news/2024/12/dc-area-car-dealership-group-charged-with-deceiving-and-overcharging-consumers-for-years/

I think a used Mach 1 is better choice if you go that route. You get the Tremec tranny and the 350 suspension bits but not the issues of the voodoo engine. Plus a regular dash and not the hideous tacked on iPad dash of the new Mustang. It’s even uglier in person.

I’ll give you old tech….

No, so called 5G is actually 4G+, on your phone unless it says 5G+….its enhanced 4G. In all actuality its the same signal structure but with less error control coding, so you don’t waste bits and packets on redundant retransmission of packets that might have failed. Pretty sure it’s still OFDM...
