PWN Garage DoorDeparting from the dealership in a NEW (to me) 2001 Porsche 911 Carrera 4. This car has a 3.4 litre 6-cylinder horizontally opposed boxter engine with a 6-speed manual transmission. The ‘4’ in Carrera 4 denotes that it is All Wheel Drive. After just purchasing this new car, I record my very first reactions to it. I talk about the hardline negotiating process and a lot of unfettered joy and happiness.

How long do you intend to live? I need a good pair of sunglasses. A trip up north to visit family and friends. The Spycar behaves like a proper German engineered block of steel. Leave a review for Next Blime in iTunes and get some free dirty underwear. Ranger John has a similar battery problem to the SpyCar. Scotty the Little Aussie Battler has a car puchasing question: Wagon or SUV? I am enjoying my new pool but still seeking an electrician.

PWN Garage DoorDon’t be confused by the beginning of this episode: this is a review of the 2015 Mustang Fastback. Also this episode takes place in Las Vegas and though I may sound frustrated by my experiences, it all works out for the better in the end.

As usual, I have jumped into this car without knowing much about the details but we learn as we go. This 2015 Mustang Fastback came with a 2.3litre EcoBoost 4 cylinder engine (310hp with a turbocharger) mated to a 6 speed automatic transmission with paddle shift. This is a 2 door, 4 seater, front engine, rear drive coupe priced at $37,000 as tested.
