Love Chris Harris. While he does hate on the Z a bit, he makes some valid points. However a lot of that can be improved with some basic mods.

Best show on the net right now

Drive (and Chris in particular) is probably one of the best things for auto enthusiasts, ever.

Did he just say a used Porche Cayman S is worth around 16-17k?

do a search on autotrader, there are a ton of used caymans available for under $30k with well less than 80k (and he probably meant 80,000 kilometers, which is about 50,000 miles).
