The Porsche 996 is not terribly quick 4.70 to 60 quarter-mile 13 something does better handling with proper tires and driver and acceleration from C 60 or 70 to 140 or 50 I suppose it has to do with gearing I just don’t know I’ll tell you one thing
The 996 used 13-14 liters oil when changed depending who’s counting
About same as my 2500 Cummins

I like Porsche

My penis size is adequate so I’m told

But I like them Because I could get in my 996 and drive to California without worrying about it I’m not sure I would do that in a Ferrari or Lamborghini or a Maserati or even a jaguar to be honest or even a 1969 Chevelle 396 in the summer

That said I always wanted a muscle car and my parents vetoed that immediately I got my drivers license in 1972 perfect time to buy a 3 to 5 year old musclecar and they were everywhere instead I had a yellow MGBGT which attracted girls to but you know there is a difference I always wanted a road runner 383 with the Hurst shifter On n the hump

Or a mid 60s goat

My uncle had an early 60s Mopar sedan that was very fast it was black red leather with white piping manual transmission but it look like a valiant
but it was hot I want to say something like a Dodge or Chrysler super sport I wonder if anyone here knows what I’m talking about it was scary fast for back then my mother hated riding in it

Today’s fast cars are faster and safer handling

Prices are much higher even for adjusted prices I mean 55,000 for a regular pick up truck today

I’ve always thought the entry-level Mustang 5.0 GT was about the best bang for the buck American wise you could get I don’t know if that’s still true because I don’t have a muscle car at all

I live in a rented Hertz truck of any make that I pay 700 a month for because I generally run 100,000 miles a year it’s just more cost-effective and we have a Toyota FJ cruiser and a jeep two door And a jeep four-door and a Nissan Sentra that I literally paid $200 for to a mechanic friend whose wife had bought the car new and that I would drive that car to Los Angeles today it’s amazing I do need to get my wife a newer car I’m not sure maybe a used Land Cruiser like we’ve always had or some sort of Sedan yes probably German

Or a Kia SUV I think they’re good value and dependable we have all the lotto very expensive cars back when I had more money it’s not really a priority anymore

I had a ‘04 996TT I bought new, drove it for 5 years, and sold it to a BIL, who drove it another 6 years til he lost it coming back home from a Watkins Glen track day. Loved that car, rock solid and fun to drive.
