Question of the month

Yeah I'm late, but what are you going to do? It's not like you people expect me to do this every month. Or do you...

Leap year was nothing special, it just turned out to be another day, simply extending the amount of time the little kids have to wait for Christmas to come. Thier patience waivers. That means that March is here and with the new month must come a new question of the month.

This months question is, If you could have any car, what would it be and why?

For me Id have to take the 996TT. Why?...because its sexy.

wow. tough one

any car ever? Probably the Porsche 917K Short-tail, preferrably in Gulf colors or Rothmans colors.

Road car? The new Carrera GT would be near the top of my list, with the 1962 Ferrari GTO and Porsche 993 Twin Turbo

Asking if you should replace that timing belt is like asking if you should re-use a condom that may have in hole in it with a hooker.

944 NA...


Seriously though, a Carrera GT or the Ford GT. Wouldn't mind a split back Corvette though.

Hehehe.

But honestly, I would think almost half the cars on your list would cost as much/more to maintain than a 944...

Yeah, but I would feel more confident working on most of those more than I do my 944.
