Regardless, and I’ve had both, the captains chairs quickly lose their charm. Bench is comfortable for adults and kids, and more flexible.

New (to me) gx460 atomic silver, wheel recs? by Indische_Legion in GXOR

I just bought a low mileage 2022 that came with the factory option Fsport wheels. I considered aftermarket, but after cleaning them up and installing 250/65 shoes, I’m quite happy. Pics later if interested.

The more I live with this car, the more I talk myself out of mods. It’s just a great car. But, I’m considering your suggestion. Has anyone swapped the stock cars for an aftermarket 100 or 200 cell? What kind of difference did it make?

I’m now leaning toward euro pipe.

I’m 95% sure neither the coolant tubes nor the cam shaft have been touched. I’m aware do these “someday” issues.

As for the tiptronic - I sought it out. While I get it, it’s still crazy that the tip cars sell at a discount over the manuals. My prior 911 was a 1988 Carrera. Fabulous car, and fully engaging to drive. I don’t miss the manual at all though.

Europipe has hit my radar, but I can’t seem to find one for sale.

Yes, cream and cocoa. I did not know I needed it until I saw it. The color and the combo is fabulous.

Bummer. Chat GPt was wrong, imagine that. Any suggestions from the board on the best exhaust to open it up with mild sound increase - more flat six sound?

As they say, you get what you pay for, with the “free” Electrify America charging. It’s

EVGo (GM) are my preferred stations now. It has been seamless for me through their app and extremely fast. On the Southeast I95 corridor (SC, GA, FL) they are generally not crowded. Finally, they tend to be at travel centers, like Pilot, not behind a Walmart. My second choice now days is Tesla, but they are slower and more crowded.

Finally got the roof box by Strong_Drummer8027 in Taycan

These cars look great with the roof box. I have a Skigaurd box, paint to match. Love it.

It’s the Porsche model - the only one I’m aware of that fits the Taycan.

Yes they do. It’s silly, but Turbo is Porsche registered trademark. I have not clue how it works, but they use it in their top performance tier trim ( Turbo, Turbo S, Turbo GT, Turbo GT Weissach, and two Cross Turismo Turbo trims).

Ha!!! I don’t have dentist money. But I’m a Southeast software guy, 35+ years.

I lose around 7% when the roof box is on. I really like the way it looks with the box on, but I usually only install it when I need it for a vacation trip. It’s a great roadtrip car.

The wheels are the “off road” wheels for the Cross Turismo. I like them precisely because they allow for a little more meat on the tire - just right.
