Interesting engine swaps today at Cars and Coffee. That Cayenne engined Golf must understeer like crazy.

Yeah that Charger was cleeeean. Nice restomod; no dumb Foose wheels or anything. I didn’t get a chance to talk to the owner but I imagine the modern 6.4 is a serious upgrade in terms of livability.

That Cayenne engine must be half the car's weight

The workmanship was really impressive even if the build wasn’t what I would do. But there was this…one paint run. And I couldn’t help but think it must either drive the owner nuts every time he looks at it, or he leaves it there as a kind of Memento mori.

That's crazy. Wait a year.


P.S. - The back end of that SL is really taking on a 911 look. Especially in the profile.

Even at MSRP I much rather have a manual 992.

I love it. About the only SL I would lust after as the perfect vert GT cruiser.
