I mostly assumed it was a replica if for no other reason than who the F would transport ~$15M worth of historic car on the back of a flatbed truck. Regardless that car has some presence few could rival.

From what I heard it's been confirmed all possible number combinations are sold, so someone is going to win it. If it's me I'm buying that 917.

Heading out from my office in Palm Desert and DAAAAAAMMMMMMM! Real 917K? http://www.sportscardigest.com/need-service-for-your-porsche-917/

Definitely take up serious ALMS racing... probably result in an untimely death but what can ya do.

Midevil siege weaponry FTW!

Silver and german.

Damn! From here it looks like something went through the hotside and chunked the wheel. May have even been part of the wheel that failed and took out the rest. I'd be very surprised if you could get EGTs high enough to melt an inconel wheel without torching the rest of the motor. You would most likely have aluminum chunks from the pistons showing up on spark plugs, etc. Then again that might be the speckle texture on the wheel. Have you pulled the head or put a scope into the cylinders? On the plus side, you can find some easy power by stuffing a modern billet wheel in that baby.

FU money.... Charter a couple huge PJs and fly a bunch of you guys out to someplace insane for a huge LP party. Maybe Monaco? Pay someone to close it down so we can use the Monaco GP circuit. Buy a dozen Sestos and we'll have some full contact racing fun. Might as well charter the biggest yacht we can find, so we have a place to hang out. I'd also kick wheels down with a new brick kiln.

Depending on the nature of the growth, yeah i'm 100% with you. If we can bolster exports and keep imports in-line, it's fantastic growth that isn't directly funded by our own economy. I think 3-4% is sustainable without inflation going insane, but if it gets above that we'll just see monetary policy get more restrictive and try to pull it back. Yeah higher interest rates suck, but getting more than a 2% return on cash is nice as well. Job skills and available employees might just calm down the economy a bit since there are some serious gaps that are proving to be difficult to fill and that's slowing business growth. Might also spur some whole new automation markets in the next few years.

I read an interesting article just yesterday in an apartment owners trade magazine I receive that made a strong argument that housing prices (in CA at least) pull back pretty hard when affordability gets down to the 17% level. This level was hit in 1981, 1989, and 2007 dropped down to around 12%. Following all those years where affordability hit or dipped below 17%, there was a multi-year price pullback. The supporting data was that once the market hits affordability that low, sales stall out and inventory starts to build. This begins to trigger price reductions, which if it becomes significant, new construction slows down/stops and foreclosures begin to increase. Depending on the scale, unemployment due to stopped construction can compound the issue and the market is starting to snowball. I'll try to screen shot the charts and post them here if I can find it published online, but everything mentioned above was pretty strongly correlated by year. Correlation does not equal causation, but it all seemed to go hand in hand. Despite the average home price in CA exceeding $600k for the first time ever (above 2007 levels), affordability is still at 26%, so by this metric the sky isn't falling... yet. Pending some major event I don't see a recession coming in 2019, and I sure don't see the affordability numbers dropping another 9% in a year (it moved 8% from 2004-2005 when things exploded). I feel like 2019 will be good, pending any outside economic influence that kicks us in the nuts. I don't know if this link will work. If it does, the article starts on page 64. https://www.aoausa.com/mag/october_2018/Orange_County_2018/#65/z

Thanks guys!

They can fcuk right off with the Flag business. I'll wait for it to show up on netflix and see if it can keep my attention. Speaking of netflix, check out Joe Rogans new standup special, it's hilarious.

Really on the Touring? I dont get that one at all. The body lines with the wing are the best part of the GT3 IMO. I prefer it to the 3RS even.

fcuk 'em, their loss. Welcome back buddy!

That's one hell of a good looking SUV. Great job on the spec!

Yeah definitely want something as small and sleek as possible, but more than a glorified paper clip. I'm not set on any material, titanium, leather, carbon, it's all about function for me. I havent been able to see anything from goyard online. The LV Pince looks like a solid contender, but I dont know if I can bring myself to drop $500 on it. Will have to go check it out and see how it looks in person.

Congrats man! That is a fantastic spec.

Looking for some recommendations on a wallet/money clip. Prefer small, can carry at least 10 bills and 4-6 cards. The one I've been using is wearing out and has some shortcomings. Leather side holds the cards great but the bill side is a leather flap with a magnet so more than 5 folded bills and it doesnt hold worth a damn. Anyone tried z-clip or ridge wallet? www.zclip.com https://www.ridgewallet.com Any other suggestions?

hahahahaha so much truth.

Zmydust (Jonathan Chadic) PeakCompletions (Ray Hoffman) Chimay52 (Mike Thom) Hope they are all enjoying what this universe has to offer. Miss those dudes :(

What sort of $$$ worth of flaws are we talking about here? Paint chips and cosmetic stuff or motor that smokes like an 80's diesel benz level of issues?

I'll give you the boring answer, I quit drinking half a decade ago and feel great every morning :)
