Car Virus
Thought Experiment:
An asteroid crashed on Earth and released a car virus that destroyed not just 911s but every other Porsche - none are left and no more will ever be built. But you have plenty o'bucks and can buy any other car ever made, drive it, hotrod it, repair it, etc. Plenty of parts are available for all non-Porsches. What do you get? |

Call Dr. Fauci...I’m sure a little paper mask will save the Porsches.

As all the porsches are beamed up to the mothership, defective bosch coils will certainly inflict damage in ways even the alien masterminds could not foresee.

A couple shots of nitrous would cure it.

E46 M3. What an engine. And unreliable enough to keep you busy.

What would I get that’s not a Porsche? E39 M5. Maybe an unmolested E36 if I could find one. An RS4. If I had more money maybe an RS3, though I’d probably be ok with a Golf R… if I had more money, an R8, though used ones have come down. With even more money, a non-Gallardo Lamborghini. Ok fine, a Ferrari if I could afford it.
Some of the newer MacLarens aren’t bad either but still 6 figures… |
