My girlfriend, traditionally known for obsessing over Korean culture and k-pop and giving not a single shit about cars has recently said a couple things that caught me off guard: firstly, she really wants to come to the next autocross with me. Neat. Then two days ago I mentioned that there were some Porsches at Cars and Coffee and her eyes lit up and she said “oh my god a Porsche boxster is my dream car!”. Turns out her econ class had a thing about buying used cars and she saw how cheap manual early-00s reasonable-mileage Boxster are and fell in love. She is currently attempting to get a job so she can save up for one, and I’m fairly certain that autocross will further cement her want of a sports car.
And since neither of us ever want kids (especially after a brief pregnancy scare) we will have even moar money for cars!
Saab for your time.

It looks exactly like what a modern Chevy Nomad would look like. Plop a bowtie on it, bring it stateside, and call it a day

The old Porsche Boxsters with the IMS bearing repair, some durability mods, and Coilovers can make a drab car not many people like into a very fun car.

I’m not a huge k-pop fan, but I’ve noticed a majority of modern pop taking after k-pop in fashion and sound style. Justin Bieber is the most blatant appropriator of K-pop stylings and tropes.

I’m trying to decide between a c5 or a boxster as my “realistic aspiration” car to hopefully have within two years. I’m leaning towards Porsche because of the badge. It’s a Porsche. To non car people you’re rich if you have a Porsche.

Except GM would immediately run very far away from Saab.

My 6th or 7th date with my now-wife was to a track day. Not only did she love it, she went from being a dyed in the wool Chevy girl to a Chevy-BMW fan. Her dream car is now an i8.

That’s funny, I’ve been pondering the same realistic aspiration between the Boxster and a Corvette; it’s really a tough call. While the V8 American sports car is appealing, the boxer 6 cylinder seems (and sounds) so much more exotic. I think if I had cash in hand, if I could find a Boxster with the IMS bearing sorted (or budgeted to have it fixed myself), that’d be the way I’d go.

“Girlfriend” and “dropped a bomb” should never be in the same joke......
On a serious note, a 986 with the IMS fixed can be a relatively affordable blast.
