Even if it was an early second gen I don't know if I would take it. They are known for IMS bearing issues even though the second gen boxster/1st gen cayman where great to drive cars.

Oh, that's because they still got 5-7 days left in auction. Wait until the S2000 reaches the 2 hour left mark. That's going to be fun.

C&B has become about as bad as BaT. I wouldn't bid on a car on either one of them at this point. Well, I would, but I'm not going to pay the enthusiast tax on it.

BaT has basically become the benchmark for stupidity and it seems like its just a group of "investors" trading cars with each other.

It's almost like people are overpaying for cars for the clout of overpaying for them. It is a special kind of stupid I haven't acquired the wealth to develop.

I am messing with you. It's funny because in your company I would be the one doing the import and I just had this EXACT thing happen in roughly the same 3-4 month time frame... except I loaded the data. And we just switched over ticketing systems so it all resonates.

Better days ahead.

Oh, that's funny.


I thought it was obvious and clever. I bet you were hopping mad in the moment.

Do you not realize just how many Cotton Ducks were slaughtered just for their skins to make tape! It was a fowl era indeed.

One of the guys in the local car club I'm in is becoming 'that guy'. He's constantly talking about horse power, who's fastest in a drag, how his Stinger is superior to basically anything else, and how automatic is more authentic to racing. Now he's getting a pops tune (which he tries to defend as not being that bad). Of course my plebe Subaru is too slow and how anything can beat me on the track and off. I had to step away from the group for a little bit because it's far too obnoxious and annoying.
