Been following this guy for a few years, TJ Russel. He used to do fab work for Singer out of his own shop for almost 10yrs but has been working on the "Baja 911" for a couple years. Debuted at SEMA in 2019.
 A lifted widebody 911 made for the dunes - The Baja 911 Russell Built All one off, hand built. Moderately equipped you're spending about half a mil.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Now you are talking my language I had a 1995 740i, 235/60R16....very good looking car.

Matt Farrah is a retarded d-bag. I enjoy his takes on cars, but the guy seriously has issues with projection. He also lived a sheltered life inside a bubble and you can tell by the retarded stuff he says about society and politics. I remember him saying that he went to a bar in the middle of no where in the states and that he thought people were looking at him funny because he was a middle eastern looking person.  They were probably looking at you because you obviously weren't from there and didn't want to associate with the locals. Agree 100%. He just looks like a typical fat american dude. anything else is looking to be offended. Typically enjoy his take on a middling amount of vehicles, outside of that his opinions are shit and he's from New York. Main complaint with him on cars is he has the "this 4 door sedan does not handle enough like a sports car, therefore it is not a good car." This take over the last 30 years from automotive journalists has resulted in every car (if they even still exist) trying to be "nimble, tight, road hugging, etc etc" sports-car like and has ruined sedans IMO. If you want a sports car, buy a sports car. Do not buy a full size sedan expecting it to behave like a 911. Good example of this thinking is his one-take vid on the Gladiator Mojave a couple of months ago. Praised almost everything about it, but still didn't like it because it wasn't as fast or comfortable as a Raptor.  It’s all so tiresome. Sedans have been ruined by 1/2 of exactly what you are saying and 1/2 by the trend of bigger and bigger wheels. They put 20”+ wheels and super low profile tires on every luxury sedan then try to engineer their way out terrible rife quality with complex and costly suspension when some 16-18” wheels and tall tires would alleviate all of the problems to beginning with. Or if car manufacturers really want to have big wheels just put air bags on all 4 corners and license mag ride from GM. Boom done. Still needlessly complex and expensive. I recently road in a really nice all original 1998 BMW 740 and it was great, 16” or 17” wheels, normal suspension and enough power and brakes for everyday use. It didn’t need trick modern mag ride suspension or 10 different driving modes. Now you are talking my language I had a 1995 740i, 235/60R16....very good looking car. Rode like a dream. tire and wheels looked good too https://www.newcartestdrive.com/wp-content/uploads/1999/11/740car.jpg My Monica’s Current ride is a DTS on 235/55R17’s I would kind of like to get a set of performance model 18’s for it I ever came across some, but much more than that would be detrimental. It’s exactly what a big American car should be, cushy, adequate V8 power, and awesome on the highway. Previous Charger on 20’s wasn’t bad ride wise, but certainly a slightly different class of car and was set up differently from the start. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep, I enjoy his TST vids but I can’t stomach his podcasts, he tries to sound like he’s smart but he’s really an idiot, then he mentions politics and it explains everything. He’s basically a rich kid whose parents told him he’s better than everyone else and he believes it. To be fair, he has accomplish far more than I, so maybe I’m the idiot. He is a pompous asshole. I lol'd when he got so butt hurt he shut comments off on instagram. I liked him alot more when he was smoking weed. That said he seems like a pretty good driver. |

Because they are pampered by rich guys driving them as a status symbol, have cost various owners a king's ransom in upkeep, and the 80s 911SC was built quite solid. The type of bogus issues that are discovered after production for owners to deal with is insane for what they cost. 911 S 2.7 liter head warping due to dissimilar metals & cooling properties, the more recent IMS bearing issue plaguing cars in early 2000s, all the plastic coolant parts on Cayennes, etc. For the dollar and maintenance, Id go BMW or Mercedes hence forth. How many Audis from the 80s and 90s do you still see on the road?

I’ll do it again although with 991. They are just reliable and great cars. |

The IMS issue is a quick fix and once it’s done it’s good for life with it. The only plastic that broke in mine was the center console and that’s because I accidentally hit it while open with a rifle case. |

I can definitely see how it occurs, exposure to 200-400K or even 100K cars then rolling back into a pedestrian 35K compact SUV could play havoc on perception.

Ever. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: exactly...but he has that "i am special" mentality, which works great in NYC and LA when your dad is a famous CEO, but in the sticks, no one gives a fuck. Maybe that was his problem. I mean, I look like a spanish guy and I sound funny when I talk. No one ever wanted to beat me up or give me the stink eye when I have traveled all over. You are right...I think the only 4 door sedan he ever liked was the last gen CTS-V. What really made me realize he wasn't thinking things through is when he compares the fit and finnish of a new $60,000 corvette to a $120,000 Porsche. Goes on and on about how the QC is that much better at Porsche and that the Porsche factory is awesome bowling green is shit. Well no fucking shit Matt, the Porsche costs twice as much Agree.
