Considering the main audience of Porsche's 911 (auto-naïve people that want to show off wealth), do you think their final sales would suffer if they made the lower tier 911s FR or front engined AWD?

I failed a DOT pre employment drug test in canada 3 years ago. I left that company a year ago and they have since closed their doors. I'm going to be applying at a company which requires i disclose if i've ever failed a drug test and asks my previous employers to release info on if i failed/refused drug tests in the past 3 years or if ive ever had to enroll in SAP. Will said ex employer release that information even though the company is no longer in business?

pretty sure it's a breach of privacy to disclose that information in Canada. Alberta, at least.
>>
since /o/ isn't your ex employer it's quite difficult to answer your question, why don't you ask them?

Here in the EU companies are required to store such data for ABOOT 5 years and be able to provide it when asked for, will probably be something like that aswell.
Good luck.

yes, a 3rd party usually takes care of the bureaucratic shit like that.

So it doesn't roll if the ebrake fails
>>
>>16868734
Saves from having to use the e-brake

Not that it matters, that's what the brake is for. Also if you leave the car in gear and you get hit you can seriously fuck up your engine

Hello /o/, I am seeking advice on how to stop being a pussy when it comes to opening up the throttle on my 600. I can do a second gear roll on all the way to the rev limiter pretty comfortably but first gear still scares the fucking shit out of me. I cracked it open and the thing revved up so fast. Not to mention that the acceleration kinda gets my leg out of position from the shifter so I have to re-adjust my body in the midst of breaking the sound barrier. I also get a cramp sometimes in my left hip, I guess from my body tensing up.

Basically, how do I get better at accelerating hard?

Start off on a 250.
>>
Basically it comes down to not being a pussy.

Lift yourself up using the pegs a bit so your ass is light in the seat, lean forward a bit, and give it WOT. It's a 600 so you're not really going all that fast.

Git gud and practice it.
>>
>>16868228
600
not all that fast.

my 600 does over 100kmh in 1st gear.
it has 6 gears.
but yeah 250kmh isn't fast at all i agree

moron

How can you justify buying a used car when it's literally exactly the same as a used mattress?

>yeah it was only slightly used who cares
>previous owner probably took care of it man
>I got a hell of a deal on it dude

Ever wondered why you got such a great deal? Maybe it's because no one with any self respect would sleep on a sponge which has sucked up a bunch of menstrual blood, cum and hair you disgusting faggot.

Buying used cars is the same, you're essentially saying you don't mind driving around stinking of the previous owners sweat and farts.

Only works for tier 1 credit and haggling types though.

Why don't you stop thinking about the Supra and instead go for a BMW 335i? Strong inline six, six speed manual, attractive, and relatively cheap.

I'm in Portland, OR so it'll be pretty urban. I'd be able to use places like Motel 6 for showering here and there, and a gym membership for shitting and piss bottles otherwise.

Aerowagon is a terrible name for it.

I'm sure everyone will hate on it but I actually like it a lot. I see so many Corvettes everyday it's refreshing to see such different lines on one.

Pump up tires a few PSI

Try to use brakes little as possible

Remove everything from the car you can (spare tire/jack even)

Read ahead in traffic more

Turn off all electronics inside the car you can

Less grippy, smaller tires

J-spec.au shows that the average sale price of a grade 4+ R34 GT-R VSpec/MSpec is 83500 AUD. The average sale price of a grade 4+ R33 GTR VSpec is 29400 AUD.

What makes the R34 worth 54k AUD more?

>>16866042
Purely the fact its an R34 GTR, not an R33 GTR. The R34 is a better car all around, but not 50k better. I still know which one id rather.
>>
>>16866049
Can you explain the actual details that differentiate the R33 vs R34 in performance? I get that it's the last RB26 GT-R and that a lot of people prefer the look of the R34 but I'm trying to figure out the objective performance improvements.
>>
>>16866085
ATTESA works ten times faster in a 34 than a 33 for starters.
