Those are fighting words man!



I should check out the Emira - that thing is gorgeous.

Funny you mention the Emira, I was just at Lotus today looking at the Evora 400 they have. The Emira is great, if you can get one. It is minimum 2 year wait. Would not be surprised if it's going to be more.

That Evora though. That was great. Go take a look. I might have farted in it.

Very true. Most people here drool over those over priced beetles. Not me though… I had my 996 and it sucked. Scared me half to death with it’s shitty unpredictable ass in anything but super dry weather. I’m sure the new ones are well sorted but if that’s the case then you’re losing something from that 911 experience.

Caveat: I’m a stupid old man who drives slowly and don’t track anything. Speeds past 140kmh makes me nervous and pee comes out involuntarily

991 is surprisingly well-mannered. The car feels really MR with just a hint of rear weight bias. I was honestly surprised very surprised by the balance.

With the Evora, my memory might be a little hazy on this since it has probably been 4+ years ago, if not longer. But one time when I was driving an Evora (LHD Canadian car, no less), the foot pedals, steering wheel, and driver seat didn't exactly line up. I forgot which item it was that was off centered, but my driving position had to be really awkward to compensate for it.
(I think it was an Evora -- pretty sure it was a British brand car.)

AMG GT with 36,000 for $130k

lol yea fucking right a boxster.

Fuck like I’m buying an AMG GT in a few years at these prices lol

This is an infinitely better looking car imo

[westopher]

They look rad but can't get past the auto only sports cars these days. That's why Porsche has a money printing machine and people are willing to pay 350k for a 200k gt3 over paying 350k for a 350k Ferrari.

[Badhobz]

^So true. But if you seriously cared about performance then PDK / dual clutch / automatic is the only real answer. The 0-60 time savings / fuel economy / wear and tear warranty battles are too much to ignore. Plus if they build a manual and only 5% of buyers source it, then they are out millions of dollars.

[Badhobz]

What the hell are with the price of wheels nowadays. This dude on the LC forums just got these wheels I like and I curiously asked vossen how much. 9k usd !!!! Doesn’t even include tires. Not to mention mounting and balancing.

Holy shit… and people say my wrap is expensive. Wheels are retarded.

[donk.]

Yeah I was looking at HF5s, but then the 4000$ tag came in, without tax or tire swap

I guess when your blowing 100k on a car, what's an extra 5-10% to pimp your ride

Some people are willing to pay 20% for boxster tax

You can get BBS FI-R for that price. I am getting FI-R over those.

Funny you say that cause I actually test drove an Evora 400 today. The whole pedal box is shifted to the right on a LHD car. The three pedals are super small and close together so if you are a size 12 you'll have a bad time. The depth of the pedals are a bit off as well - the gas and brake are on the correct plane to heel toe, but the clutch is way too deep. For me to be comfortable with the gas and brake I would have a hard time reaching the end of the clutch. For me to be comfortable with the clutch meant my right leg will cramp on a long drive. Maybe a spacer on the clutch would help but it was so odd.

Otherwise, great car. It's on the edge of what this tired old body deems to be DD-able. My stiff coilovered 200TW tired M3 feels like a luxury car after.

Guys, what about a $300k+ Boxster instead?

It’s about time!

Online renewals of passports will start later this year in the fall.

No more lineups at a Passport office for renewals.

New passport design and new security features too.

Laser engraving of passport holder’s information among other new features.

Citynews1130:

Canadians will be able to apply to renew their passports online beginning this fall, says Immigration Minister Sean Fraser, as the government unveiled a new design for the Canadian travel document.

It maintains a deep blue cover with a new outline of a maple leaf and the coat of arms now in the bottom left corner instead of the centre.

Inside images of the country’s history, including Terry Fox and Vimy Ridge, are replaced with images of Canada’s diversity, nature and wildlife.

Among the modifications to the new design, passport holders’ personal information will be laser engraved instead of printed with ink, making the data page more durable.

Other features include a Kinegram over the primary photo, a custom see-through window with a secondary image of the passport holder, a variable laser image, and a temperature-sensitive ink feature.

Starting this fall, Canadians can renew their passport, pay their fees, and upload their photograph securely and conveniently online.

“The new passport celebrates Canada’s heritage and identity with iconic images of Canada’s natural beauty throughout the four seasons,” the feds added.

“It also includes a new cover design with an outline of a maple leaf — the first significant change in decades.”

Give us colour options like the white Canadian passport



Just make the white one the standard one

[pastarocket]

Ultraviolet light changes the colours of designs of the passport pages and reveals security features.

FYI:

The new security features include a polycarbonate data page, which is the same technology used in Canadian currency and driver’s licences

It doesn't matter how much it is, you can't get one.

Welp. Lotus Vancouver just called me and booked me for a test drive of the Emira in 2 weeks time - they have one in for a few days. Sales Manager says they have a couple more slots left (9:30 on the 24th and I think 9:30 on the 25th)

They also have a BGTS with less than a thousand clicks on their lot but it's a PDK. Awesome spec otherwise: https://lotusvancouver.com/listings/...-gts-4-0-pdk-2

That boxster looks like the absolute most boring way to spend 140k I have ever seen in my life. If you were to ask me what that car cost I'd say like 58k.
Why not get an older 981 for less than half the price? I know it's not a 4.0 but you could have so much left to do whatever you wanted to it.
A quick look at Porsche inventory has 718 spyders in canada for similar money.

A 981 or a 982S is on the table - just comes down to availability and cash flow. I'm in no rush to buy since my money isn't in yet and I really don't have time to drive it around this year anyways. If I'm flush with cash then I'll just go new and get it exactly the way I want and maybe even go to Germany to get it. If not, I'll be perfectly happy with something used.

re: Boxster - that GTS tickled me more than the 992S manual I drove the year before and the 992 is no slouch. It lit up the right parts of the brain - as close to perfect for me as I've experienced.

[westopher]

Yeah I think if you're paying new money, then speccing it exactly how you want it is a must. Sometimes I forget silver is the way people want to do that, but I think you're more interesting than that haha. The premium totally makes sense if you're building your car, but it's fuckin crazy to me for that one at lotus specifically.

[Badhobz]

Everyone has their own opinion on what’s worth it or not. We all think something different but as long as he loves it then it’s a good car.
