Should we buy a Porsche?

Anybody know anything about Mercedes 300d's? I keep seeing them pop up on FB marketplace for cheap, and I can't help but think they will start going up in value soon.

 

I'll never understand the stare at it and rub on it crowd. I bought mine to drive because I've only ever really had one thing that can be rubbed any time I want that makes me happy.

 

I don't know, nothing about them is all that special to me about them. Slow, not great looking and relatively common. I doubt they'd ever be more than a cult car and they will never be the "next" 2002.

 

Slow but run forever, seemingly. Just seems like a cheap cruiser with a cool look. For $2500 I'll probably pick one up once I get a new shop.

 

oh, for a $2500 bomber, get a wagon! Problem is of course if any of the chrome is f@cked up. Ain't noooooo way to get all that bumper straightened and rechromed, not enough chrome even in all the JPcycles catalog to do that.

Run forever but that's about the 0 to 60 time with one: forever.

 

Wasn't there a thread about them here a while ago. There's a following because they run on discarded vegetable oil that I recall.

 

I was lucky enough to own a Porsche for a little while. It is nice to rip around in something that handles like a dream.

 

I think Hippy Joe looked into all that hippy dippy save the earth, runs on fryer grease stuff. But Hippy Joe is dead, Corporate Joe most likely drives a giant SUV that runs on whale oil and condor eggs.

 

Slow? That's an insult to slow cars. Seriously. If you buy one and can produce video of you getting to 60 in under 16 seconds, I will order you a case of your favorite fancy beer.

 

Tamiya can fill that order, for a lot less money.

 

Looking at those brake rotors, I don't think you drove it much. Just saying...

 

Someone that cared would have rolled it down the street to knock the water off the rotors and get them hot so they wouldn't rust when he parked it.

 

I had the unfortunate opportunity to go into a home where the ex-husband previously had one of those filtering operations set up in the garage. We spent two full days preparing the floor and walls for coating and prime/paint, to cover the mess he left behind. No amount of acid, hot water, Dawn, Tide, Purple Power could rid the concrete of oil. Miraculously, the floor coating sealed the concrete. For sure, we thought the continuously surfacing oil would taint the coating enough, before it cured, to cause issues. We used an oil-based, stain block on the walls, to seal that in. What a F’ing mess!

 

Oof. That's a little rich for me. My toe dipped only briefly into Porsches before I came to my senses. Gorgeous car though.

 

Get a brand-new 718 GT4 and cut that price in half.

 

Yep...

Insert obligatory "But it's not a 911?" whiney bitch moment here.

 

Subaru-powered Boxster.

 

He said GT4...pay attention.

 

Pillows, FN pillows everywhere!
