I admit to very quickly scanning through the thread to see how long before the CV shows up. It ALWAYS does!I can’t believe no one has suggested a Toyota Camry (4 cylinder of course) or Crown Victoria yet
Why not keep it as a weekend toy ?
I remember it was black with crazy gloss paint wax job.
It was up over 180k miles and pretty much needed everything. Just time to move on.Why not keep it as a weekend toy ?

I've found Porsche but having difficulty locating Nissan. Perhaps we're missing something?

And the best one you can afford.
There is always funnier refrigerator among refrigerators.As a matter of fact, my 2017 Honda Accord Sport CVt IS pretty fun to drive
I remember being at Daytona in 1992 for the 24 hours. Nissan had like 3 factory teams and didn’t even run all the cars in the GTP class and IMSA obviously did not do their homework as the two LM class Nissans were clearly faster in a straight and I believe this was still in the days before the chicane was installed on the back straight. Nissan won but this should have an asterisk as they were not eligible for points or any other race I believe.I've found Porsche but having difficulty locating Nissan. Perhaps we're missing something?

Building fast car is not a problem. Even Lexus made LFA.
Problem is making super fast car that can last and still sell it for relatively affordable amount of money, and make some money.
LFA is classic example that anyone can make really good fast car, as long as company doesn’t mind losing $250,000 per unit.
Same goes for those cars at Le Mans. Doing few laps faster than others actually doesn’t mean anything.
with whats all is going on in Europe, do you really want anything that relies on a supply chain through Germany?
Name a car with zero European parts
Easy there, this is getting political and mods will lock.
A 968 would be more reliable and easier to maintain than most other Porsche models. Of course, they are now at least 27 years old.
Tin Lizzie.
Why not a 911 GT2 RS then? Many of the complaints were about serviceability and reliability. That's what I was addressing.

Get an American made Porsche I believe it goes by a different name, here we call it a Dodge Viper
A 968 is, if memory serves, a 3.0 litre (4 cyl) variant if the 944. The car has a timing belt with teeth on both sides. There is a special tool used for setting belt tension. Critical adjustment.
I've heard that the 944 and 968 actually are more labour intensive for mtce. than is a regular air-cooled 911
