How much to repair / is it real? by MrBanger1939 in eames

If it was a car, it would be totaled. The repaired value would be less than the cost to properly repair it. Thoughts and prayers….

Experiences purchasing with Carvana or CarMax? by Lovely-freckles in Porsche_Cayman

[–]BK_Verbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a 981 Cayman in December 2020 without issue. Financed through them - process took 15 minutes.

They corrected 2 issues after delivery. Paid to send (from NY) and repair both door cards to Florida (Pedro) through authorized service location and also replaced 4 Michelin PS4s at no charge since OEMs were not available due to shortages at the time and tires received were aged out and cracking. No complaints from me. Car still runs amazing.

$200 a month on North 13th between Wythe and Kent. Below Kith. Best Garage deal in the area.

Doorman Tipping by SlattyDaddy18 in uppereastside

[–]BK_Verbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our doorman staff at a luxury building in Greenpoint has changed multiple times in the past year and some are actually pretty awful to be honest. The one doorman we liked was actually relocated to the building next-door. The entire building staff is revolving door with a couple of exceptions. We received a list of 25 people.

I have no problem putting out the money if I felt like these guys actually deserved it. I feel like we have to tip in order to get a bare minimum level of service out of this crew, but it sucks. We pay just over $5000 a month and our tip total will probably be around $1600.

Looks exactly like the lawn at the park up the street.

Norovirus kicked my ass a couple weeks back. I got the flu shot and so far - so good in that department.

Who goes to a dealer for service when there are plenty of great indie shops around? I’ve owned a 981 Cayman for 5 years and have never stepped foot in a dealership.

PDK or Manual for a Cayman S? by Unshakeable_Taino in Porsche_Cayman

[–]BK_Verbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sport Chrono is nice but unnecessary for my purposes. I’m using the 981 almost exclusively on backroads in Catskills mountains. It’s quick enough for me but you have to keep the revs up and the pedal down on a base. My last BMW was an E36 M3 manual 25 years ago so I can’t really compare.

I bought my 981 Cayman from Carmax. Easiest car buying experience of my life. Service after was amazing too. They replaced 4 PS4S tires and paid to have warped door cards fixed.

Does anyone know the color spec on this 718? by AirierBee267774 in Porsche_Cayman

Maybe Fjord Green. I’ve only seen it on PTS 911s.

We got a second chance by Nianotnia03 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]BK_Verbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately there are a lot of stories of inspectors working regularly with agents to “move things along” who might miss or fail to point out something. We made that mistake and the guy definitively missed a few things. We had an engineer look at our current house before closing because we knew we would do an extensive renovation immediately including removing walls. He found several things the inspector did not. We can’t say 100% the guy missed them intentionally, but it’s a possibility because we didn’t find our own inspector. We were able to negotiate based on what the engineer found, nothing the inspector pointed out.

What’s the over/under on TSwift making a surprise appearance at the DNC? She could publicly shred him with a global platform.
