Greating to all (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) My wife and I are having a problem deciding on a new car or good used tail dragger. She wants a new Mini S. Red white stripes heated seats all the good stuff. She likes the idea of a nice 911 as well. I need some help from this group of wise men and women to make the call. Any and all help is welcome.
After all it's Friday and I don't want to work today. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Thanks Steve |

Consider how much of your daily commute is driven in a "spirited" manner. Probably 95% of the time you have too much traffic around you to be taking corners at a speed where FWD understeer is going to cause you expensive troubles. And the rest of the time there isn't traffic, there is a pedestrian walking their dog, or potholes, or something else. If you just want to go fast on the highway, a POS Saturn can do that. For everyday use, FWD satisfies transportation requirements. As to whether a "sports car" can have FWD -- the is more of a philosophical question IMO. I don't intend to ever drive my Cooper S on a track or for DE/AX -- I have my 914 for this |
