Love my snap on goods. I would want to still do ALL of my own wrenching. Like 4 bays with lifts and pits.

If only one vehicle and I get to keep my 01 S and 05 BMW 330ci, definitely the 918. If only one vehicle and I have to get rid my current stable, BMW M4 convertible.
If multiple vehicles, the 918, the M4 and a 14 Boxster GTS.

Now I would have thought that Timco, given unlimited cash, would have chosen one of these for his DD:



Outstanding varmint control capabilities. Fortunately it has no front plate.

I already have a race car (Boxster Spec). So I'd buy this to go with it...

(The old Honda Proving Center about 2 hours north of LA. It has a 7.5 mile oval track, as well as a five-mile winding road course.)

How did I miss the obvious??

Told my wife months back I wanted to make a patio at one of our rentals that was the exact dimensions of that tank, with darker pavers for the .50 and all. Then watch google earth. See if anyone came to inspect....

While we're dreaming...
1993 928GTS with a Panamera S driveline and interior
Beck 550 replica w/ 986 brakes/suspension and driveline
My 986 w/ 400hp 3.8 DFI
2015 Macan Turbo set up for Dakar

Loved my 1990 Ranger until it failed inspection due to rusted cab mounts.
