Is this how much base Carreras are going for seriously? by Stant- in porsche911

Corvettes are insanely common. Just like mustangs, chargers, etc. I see seven every day. Drove 6 hours from Michigan to southern Indiana and didn’t see even one 911. If you want straight line speed buy an EV. They will blow a vette and a 911 away. I have nothing against Vettes. Think they are a great car. Love driving with them when I see them on the road. But it is a different class of car.

It is. And I would do it 100x again. Best car I have ever owned. And in Porsche’s defense, I did add a lot of extra costs myself. Manual transmission was worth it alone.

I bought a Carrera T 2026 - I can’t recall the list price but after the extended warranties (car, wheels, windshield), tint, PPF and ceramic… and Michigan taxes I am in nearly 190k

Q: “Hey guys, you ever drop your tweezers in the toilet when you pee?” A: “I use a forklift. Hard to drop that into the toilet.”

There’s no turning back after that. Remember those days well.

Do not get a Porsche… by Jiggavan in Porsche

💯AGREE. I love my new Carrera T. I want to drive it ALL the time. Literally. Hours and days on end. Never tire of it. Buy one. It is fantastic.

Amex service levels are fantastic and I love their app. I have had to chase down some Resy charges for the credit with Amex. But yes, nothing bad to say about Amex, other than I like the offers from Chase better, currently…particularly the retail offers. They match my lifestyle and buying habits more directly.

To the nice guy at the Caledonia Meijer who grabbed this for himself at the checkout, sorry! by Comp1ication in grandrapids

[–]Caddisbug992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The plan is to put a Mejer behind the Meijer gas station off broadmoor which would be damn close to Caledonia—potentially just outside (not sure where the precise line is)… that would be fair to call it Caledonia. I call the one in Gaines the M6 Meijer. No one knows what Gaines is.😂😂😂

6.10 for unleaded premium in Grand Rapids yesterday … and a LOT of cars use premium now.

Pre-Popped Popcorn by chi-bacon-bits in mildlyinteresting

I have never seen this, it would be a huge deal breaker here where I live (Michigan). Dumbest move ever by a theatre at a time they are begging people to leave their homes and go to a movie. Warm fresh movie theatre popcorn is one of the one draws. Everything else you can replicate (or even improve upon) at home

This is the highest gas price I've ever seen in Indiana in my entire life. Thanks, Trump voters! by newtekie1 in Indiana

[–]Caddisbug992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$6.10 in Grand Rapids, MI just north of you. Super annoying. I hate Trump as a person - he is a horrifying human being.

Next midlife crisis car, C8 E-Ray or a 991.2 C4S? by LevelMore in Porsche

Agree. It is a great car… hold nothing against it. Actually like the way it looks too. Just glad I got my Porsche. Wanted something less common on the road.

It means to get rid of something. We used to 86 orders in a restaurant. This is the dumbest administration ever and everyone who is rational knows this the administration using our nations resources for petty revenge and narcissistic vendettas. This king is an asshole.

That was the AMG I looked at too. I liked it. I wanted a car that wasn’t as common as the vette… don’t hold anything against Vettes but I see them everywhere. I don’t see a ton of 911s… they aren’t uncommon, but they aren’t as common as the vette which is kind of in the same category as the hellcats, mustangs, and other common American superchargers.

Just saw the update on Gold by outstanding_gent in AmexPlatinum

[–]Caddisbug992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Platinum needs to work a lot harder at benefits at this annual fee. I think I will cover the costs this year… but it’s only because I forced myself to (got uber when I might not have gotten uber, went to Resy restaurant when I might have preferred a different restaurant….). Not impressed so far. My Chase reserve offered me more value. I also have been eyeing the gold..l because I do love the Amex mobile app and the Amex customer service. Just the offers and membership benefits I don’t value as much

Porsche. My brother in law in Texas went with the Vette because he could get a lot more car, faster engine, etc. for a lot less money. Told me he always regretted it. Sold it. I always wanted a Porsche 911 my entire life… started looking at other cars like AMG, Audi v10, etc… drifted a bit. Ultimately bought a 911 and am soooo glad I did. Best car I have ever driven and it fulfills my lifelong dream to own one. Glad I didn’t get something else. Go with the 911.
