A yet to be constructed building, with yet to be hired workers, in a yet to be determined country over a yet to be determined period of time.

Par for the course for start up EV companies. Cool car, plenty of hype and a slim chance you’ll ever see one on the road before 2030.

Sounds like a solid BD role if they’re hiring

I think I remember that Acid Green one. Such a cool color on an incredible car.

I used to own one of these and curiousity got the better of me why it's a 52K car, but check out the exhausting conversation that includes whether the floor mats are original on a 27 yr old car.

It's like the HS sweetheart-- never as good as you remember them. It was a fine car in its day but time has passed it by.

And you're not getting me to go over there again...no way...nope. I've got too much to do today. I refuse to be suckered into clicking on that site....must resist. No.....

Here’s one for our P car enthusiast Bmills. I saw this car drive into my sleepy hamlet yesterday. It stuck with me so I googled a bit and found this: https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/d...-930-turbo-12/

Guy turned down 161k for it.

Good lookin out Art, thanks.

Holy shit is that a thing of beauty. Seriously, I can't recall a better looking 930 (I'm a sucker for a silver P car).

The bidding chatter says it all.

My wife must have ran over wet paint. This poor car. It gets driven 10X/year and has no luck/gets no respect. I'm not sure whether to try to remove it with rubbing compound or petroleum jelly

That sucks.

My Mom drove behind a yellow striping truck for easily a mile a couple years ago in her all-white Lexus RX (insert appropriate middle-aged woman joke here), and I used some kind of Goo-Gone paint, tar and bug remover on what was a pretty big splatter area which worked like a charm. Mind you it was on the lower panels that are largely plastic, not sure how it would work on those doors.

Holy shit. That sucks Schindler. I think you are fucked. I’d have her drive back the way she came so she can have the other side match and then you can play it off as a custom galaxy paint job.

If it's too late to drive the other way you could always try 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads. And about ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

WD-40 or clay.

Clay-bar on that paint should clean it up. I mean, along with LOTS of elbow grease.

I agree that 930 is gorgeous. The yellow 993 Carrera on Pcar is a looker too.

Actually, that was not so bad. One-half bottle of rubbing compound and plenty of elbow grease did the trick.

Lexus/Toyota has a color called Structural Blue. The catch is there is technically no blue pigment in the paint. The tech and inspiration are cool if you can look past all the marketing talk.

That’s pretty cool.

I’ll take shit like this over every other swinging dick trying to come up with some other way to triple black a car into looking like it’s a junked prototype.

Fucking shit, that's perfect.

Just, perfect.




In related news to the poors like me: sucks for us if we didn't get our orders in to Singer as they are stopping taking them on 964 911s in an effort to focus on the 930 study.

Welp, shit.

Yeah, big fan of the green.
