Automatic, too. If that matters.

Amen and amen.
"This is the interior. You will like it."
Interior front of a 1975 Peugeot 604 with tan leather seats.
It has a LEFT-HANDED KEY, y'all.
Yup:
1. Black '85 GSL, bought on eBay in 1999 for $500, sight unseen. Good engine, rusty body.
2. Red '85 S, bought on eBay in 2000 for $300. Gorgeous, repainted body, blown engine.
3. Burgundy '85 GSL-SE, bought from a local in 2014 for $3200. Kind of a mess; I overpaid.
Miss 'em all.
I've owned 3 FB RX-7s. Does that count? 🤔
Unironically loving the XV10 actually *bolsters* your car guy credentials. 👍
The staggered wheel widths are SO obvious here (the way the lugs are tucked in at the back) and I love it. 😍
Many standalone mp3 players available, but none that integrate with Apple Music. It takes a bit of work to get everything organized, but once you do, it's great.
It's definitely mine. I was just riveted the first time I saw it. Does it have plot holes and contrivances? Yep! But no more than TWOK.
The mind-meld scene IS problematic, though. That's a real demerit.
Tempting, but why'd it have to be The Wrath of Khan? 😕
Hot take: TWOK is *not* the best Trek film.
I have NEVER seen one of these without the infamous dash bubble. Ever—until now. 😮

So you're not a wheels guy unless they're wheels you like is what you're saying. 😉
I love this. Good for you for giving him some seat time!
It's as close as I've ever been to actual racing! They tell you to maintain a consistent following distance from the car in front, but in practice, there's a lot of "bunching up" and then going for it. 😉
I've only ever driven parade laps there over the lunch break in between race sessions, never "in anger," but I'm very grateful to have done so when the tree was present.
I think you can just see it in the distance here. I'm about to go up the Climbing Esses in my E34.
And Oak Tree is just a memorial name now since the actual tree fell about a decade ago. ☹️
Yes! Local/actual human puzzle makers are the way to go. Good for you. 😊
Well done you! Sometimes just finishing a puzzle is a miracle.
If it makes you feel any better, my daughter ordered a Japanese landscape puzzle that turned out to be some obviously AI slop image; we had to go in a different direction. 😉

Hi #portfolioday I’m Lee, I’m a painter from England. I have a penchant for abandoned and derelict buildings - an unhealthy obsession that finds its way into my strange and unsettling universe.
That's interesting. How is UKDM different?
True. New OEM is going to be nearly impossible to track down... 😕
Why not buy a nice set of coilovers and raise the ride height to stock so you can drive the car until someone with an NLA set of OEM bits comes out of the woodwork on eBay or something?
Yet another reason (as if one were needed) to prefer the Boxster S to the non-S.
Guarantee if you go on the boards and ask, someone who's modified their car will still have their original springs lying around and would part with them for a song. But you probably want new.
I'd take some of that down here in TN right about now; it hasn't rained in weeks and my grass is very crunchy.
That is...very pretty. Wow.
Respect.
Great ownership story, and congrats—both on the 100K miles and the fact that you installed the OEM directional wheels correctly. 👍
Clean that engine bay though! 😉
Ahh...yes that's a different ball of wax.
