Last week, I remembered reading an article in the 80s, maybe 90s, of some shop sticking a TAG Formula 1 engine in a 911. Heavy illness making all sorts of old memories pop up. Not knowing much about these engines, I did a Google search about TAG engines because I wanted to know more about them. I even gound a guy on Reddit who found a bare block sitting in his backyard, posted it to the Meme thread. This was on the 30th.

Guess what Hagerty just posted to YouTube seven hours ago.
This is THAT CAR that I remembered reading about thirty or forty years ago...

There are no coincidences when it.comes to online content.
Everything is linked.
Not making a joke or anything. Basic fact about our lives as of right now.
In reply to Mr_Asa :
So one person does a Google search, Hagerty runs down a TAG engined 911 and makes a video about it?
I'm paranoid but that's some serious Truman Show level E36 M3 right there.

Let's test this. What do you want to see Hagerty do a video about next week? Concentrate hard...

You copied and posted a specific piece of information. Through Google. Others in that thread spoke of that specific engine and its connection to Porsche
Google, via its owned company, Youtube then served up a video about a Porsche that was F1 powered by this engine.
Yes. That's how the modern internet works.

...Hagerty literally JUST made the video and released it today. This isn't "the algorithm thinks you'll like this", unless you think the algorithm Inceptioned the people at Hagerty.

Sorry, all you get is amoxicillin side effects and cat girls. Probably going to be some sort of crossover soon, I've been watching a lot of GATE and House.
In one episode of House, a guy coughing a little like I've been coughing literally coughed a chunk of lung into his hand. This somehow turned into a Pulp Fiction homage. I needed the laugh.

I've done that. It sucked. Hard.
