Just a few cars from the field that will race this weekend, weather permitting.

Tim, you may like this one:

Quite a few more in the Flickr stream. Looks like it may be in the $3 million range, not sure I could drive it around in that case.

Hell on wheels...

    Cars, not cards obviously. If a mod can fix that title that would be nice.

    I see someone had fun today. You aren't excited about the race this weekend are ya? :) Those are awesome. I like the one for Mac, the second one is so cool, and of course the last one with the kids insures the next generation will overcome the Prius. Very nice series

    Capybara's are vicious and should not be let alone with small children. In-laws are another matter.............

    If you follow me on Flickr you probably just got about 30 updated photo notifications, sorry. ;-)

    In case Mac's an a.., uh, err..., likes a shapely rear end....

    Chuck,
    one thing I forgot to mention is that the porsche 550 spyder was also the inspiration for the Porsche boxster...

    I may be mistaken but I think that is a 718 rather than a 550.

    No matter, it is a beautiful pile of metal

    True indeed. I had never even heard of a 718 before, never knew such a thing existed.
  • mississippi macmississippi mac Posts: 4,222 Captain
    Chuck,
    at a glance the 550a and the 718 are very, very similar....
    most of the difference is what's under the sheet metal than the sheet metal itself...
    I stand corrected...

    Everything I know about vintage Porsche's would fit, comfortably, in a bee's butt. I had to google the thing for a long time to find what I thought it was. May be wrong still actually.
  • mississippi macmississippi mac Posts: 4,222 Captain
    Chuck,

    the rear fender haunches on the 718 are a little more pronounced than the 550...
    otherwise the body work is very close. I should have caught it and missed it but you got it right...

    Porsche is introducing the designation for the 2017 boxster and cayman as 718....
    they will have a flat 4 cylinder, turbocharged motor....
    why they dropped the debugged m-96 flat six is beyond me...

    Maybe they think the Cayman was cannibalizing 911 sales? I guess it will be interesting to see how the turbo 4 performs but I too would rather have the 6 back there. I really like the looks of the Cayman, reminds me of the old small 911's of way back.
  • mississippi macmississippi mac Posts: 4,222 Captain
    Chuck,
    I really like the caymans as well and for the same reason...
    but even a good used one is pricey....
    I think maybe you have it right about the caymans stepping in and getting buyers rather than the 911's...
    I'm hoping the value on 6 cylinder boxsters goes up up...
    mine is already worth more than I paid for it including shop visits for a clutch and water pump...

    Any time you buy a car and it appreciates you are doing well indeed.
