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?

stevej37 08-26-2021 04:50 PM

A Honda
Either a Civic Type R or a HR-V

A930Rocket 08-26-2021 04:58 PM

A Plymouth Satellite.

Does insurance cover alien car viruses?

Beck 904 with a subaru flat 6.

A car virus from an asteroid? The zombies are coming! I would get a MRAP.

Chocaholic 08-26-2021 05:24 PM

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

LEAKYSEALS951 08-26-2021 05:29 PM

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.

stevej37 08-26-2021 05:30 PM

A couple shots of nitrous would cure it.

ckelly78z 08-26-2021 05:41 PM

Deschodt 08-26-2021 05:42 PM

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

You did say all Porsche's.;) It'll be good to have those Sixer posers gone, LOL.

If I walked out to the shop tomorrow and all that was there was my ‘65 VW I could live with that.

Well, she isn't!

She came from Planet Claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a Plymouth Satellite
A-faster than the speed of light
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head
Some say she's from Mars
Or one of the seven stars that shine after three-thirty in the morning
Well, she isn't!
She came from Planet Claire
She came from Planet Claire
She came from Planet Claire

Saw the B52’s in the 80’s at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. Great show.

wildthing 08-26-2021 06:04 PM

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…

fanaudical 08-26-2021 06:27 PM

I would go for a urS4...

Bill Douglas 08-26-2021 06:45 PM

Karmann Ghia cabriolet. I'd be VERY happy with that.

RWebb 08-26-2021 07:30 PM

ckissick 08-26-2021 11:53 PM

I'd get a Lamborghini Miura.

Captain Ahab Jr 08-27-2021 01:23 AM

A Toyota 4x4 so I can be the last man driving

1967 Coronet R/T 426 Hemi four speed with front disc brakes. My third car was close, a 440 auto version. Had everything but the Hemi and four speed. First car in which I ever topped an honest 130 mph, eastbound on I-90 through Issaquah, WA. We threw some 2.73 gears in the MOPAR 8 3/4" rear end for that run, otherwise I ran 4.10's.
