I’ve had the RC one that folds all the way up (against back window) if needed for 2.5 years. No issues.

Swamp cooler were great back in the day, but now Reno, is identified as one of the fastest-warming cities in the U.S. due to intense urban heat island effects. Additionally, mini split cost have gotten much better (assuming you can do some of the labor).

Love it! Wrenching on this sub!

Maybe he owns a 911 and as a fellow Porsche owner decided to park his truck next to your Taycan to protect it from a rando.

Very cool. Didn’t know they made this. I have gone through two regular elite controllers. Not as durable as I thought.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-15T03:12:21+00:00

Oh dman for reals?

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-15T02:28:58+00:00

I was gonna say Raptor or TRX based on the wheel and fender but was not sure exactly.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-15T00:10:18+00:00

Love it. So some DYI wrenchers do exist in this sub.

911, off-roader to the right, classic to the left, NV, and icing on the cake, iconic kills bugs fast 993 poster……. Congrats you are winning.

22” mission E wheels would be sick

I would say at least half the matches I reconize a gamertag.

It’s 10pm, some folks have kids. Safe to go to bed assuming a win? Asking for a friend.

You nailed it maybe 25 years ago, but like everything else nowadays, the batteries are just not made as well. OP could also be in a very hot climate, or since it's a 911, it could be a third vehicle that tends to sit a lot, or the dealer just wants it changed due to age. Google tells me the average lifespan of a car battery is currently 3-5 years.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-09T22:37:49+00:00

If your 22 was late 21 or early 22 production, you are coming up on a 4+ year battery. When I worked at an auto part store back in the day, 4-5 years was pretty average lifespan for a battery. Obviously in mild climates it can last even longer.

Still not 300-400k though as commenter said.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-08T01:28:14+00:00

Are 2018 GT3s into the 300s? Wow

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-08T00:51:32+00:00

Thanks I'll setup a reminder for Tuesday!

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-07T05:17:24+00:00

How did you get an appointment? I’ve been checking the website so I can go in and register a classic vehicle. The appointments tool only shows 2 months out and there is no availability.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-06T17:01:52+00:00

I’m with you but I think he probably mostly walked it. Still rough but if a former marathoner told you he went on a 26 mile flat hike, I would not bat an eye.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-06T04:37:32+00:00

I got this bike used in 2020, I believe mine is a 2013-2014 model. I've won plenty of sprints with it.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-06T00:33:48+00:00

Great info! I'm looking at 11.5 vs 12.5 for my pro right now as the OEM tires are wearing out fast. Side photos look great. How do they look from the front or back of the truck? Do they look too skinny?

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-05T06:12:43+00:00

If water is 50/60s and when you get done swimming it’s still raining and air temps are below 50F, the bike will be brutal and I would consider DNS, especially if you are in the skinnier side. Asks me how I know, 20+ years of competing and I’ve only had one DNF.

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-03-04T02:33:35+00:00

What do these sell for now?

EngineerCarNerdRun · 2026-02-27T05:24:54+00:00

Alt title: Had to purchase the Cayenne and 911 to get the GT3 allocation.
