I am although I doubt my budget will be able to get it but it’s a repairable writeoff so who knows what price it might fetch
Have put some ducks in a row and have a purchase budget so will wait and see only tricky bit is it being on the other side of the country so would need transport it back which shouldn’t be a problemI’ve not mentioned it to the wife at all

God has blessed you richly, so get down on your knees and thank him. Don’t forget the less fortunate or God will personally kick your ass. I’d love to do it for him, but I can’t be everywhere. Willie Nelson

I did the Porsche driving experience here in Atlanta in 2015 for my birthday present with a “lowly” Carrera S but it was still a blast.
Some of the mint cars were just incredible…

Fantastic! They made great cars back then. I had a 991.1 GTS that time. Amazing car, still can't believe I sold it. None of what came afterwards was as good.

@Chap ...you didn't happen to notice that as she kept encouraging you to go faster that the brakes were fading quite quickly?
Edit: What an awesome present!!
Brakes? What are brakes?
The rounds with the instructors were pretty close to vomiting, I had a severe dizziness afterwards. They brake just milliseconds before the curve and are immediately back on full power. It is amazing what youn can do with those cars if you know how to do it.

...she even said sure, go ahead….
Funny thing, I immediately picked up on the inflection, and facetiousness in her voice...
I'm glad I'm no longer married...

I have been fortunate enough to have driven with some very accomplished and skilled drivers and it’s the braking that stands out , very firm but very smooth with seamless transitions

apparently Toyota has trademarked a name for a Tundra trim level to compete with the Raptor. The "TRD Hammer". This has got to be the worst name ever, here's why:

I'm running an old Ford Fiesta which has 200,000 km, or 125,000 miles. I lost the remote fob a year or two ago, and the aircon compressor melted during a heatwave in January. Here's Tex the Peruvian Hairless Dog struggling with the temperatures in the car.
It's at the point where it's not worth spending money to keep it running, so I'm thinking about a replacement.
I was wondering if anyone else has been thinking about going electric in response to the situation in Iran? Fuel prices around here are up nearly 50% in the last three weeks in Australia.
If I do get an EV, I'm tempted by the Hyundai Inster. My main concern is that I do a lot of miles in rural areas, and the charging network in Australia can be patchy.
