One of my wealthier passengers was closing up the family's winter home in north Scottsdale. I asked my usual questions, and eventually he told me how the garage at the pickup location had one of the million-dollar Porsche 911's, and that their Ford GT was a much better car...
In Colorado, the Hummer H1 was completely worthless in the winter. His 4wd suburban hybrid was great in the snow.
- gaadd33 10y agoI wonder what 911 that was, the only million dollar ones that come to mind are either a rare racing version from the 70s or something like a 911GT1. As a daily driver a Ford GT would be way better than either, as a race car on a track I would argue otherwise.
- taxicabjesus 10y agoIt might've been a 918, or a carrera GT. This was 2 or 3 years ago. I just remember that it was an "absurdly expensive" model, where a regular 911 was cheap in comparison. Edit: The difference between the ford and the Porsche was that you felt every road crack in the Porsche, such that it was barely driveable.
- dsfyu404ed 10y agoThe H1 was worthless because of the very small intersection between what the people who sped'd the H1 wanted it to do and what most people driving on the road in the snow want it to do. Once you're off the road the H1 should be pretty awesome in the snow since you won't even be snow-plowing with the A-arms until there's more than 18" of snow. I'm not trying to be a H1/m998 fanboy but it does what it was meant to do very well (and that's about all it does very well)
