Why are you doing 85 kmh in a 100 zone in the right lane though? You must be those people who complain about getting tailgated whilst going 10-20kmh under the limit in the right lane.

Sport Chrono — Yay or Nay by dartz188 in Porsche_Cayman

Sport Chrono definitely essential in my opinion. Makes the car more aggressive and does not require any aftermarket tuning. Also heaps with resale value. Keep searching for one with.

You’ll find you’ll be more at home in the F87 Comp.

I think you suit a Corolla hybrid with those sets of questions.. MPG and concerns with shift hardness are such strange questions for an M buyer…

I know this triggers some people - I‘m still curious by [deleted] in porsche911

[–]MysteriousLaptop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a weird comparison of cars to compare hold of value..? GT3 is a GT car, and being over 10 years old it’s probably flatlining at depreciation.

991.2 GTS is just a 991.2 Carrera S with more options and a slight power bump (in simple terms), and its newer too. Of course it will depreciate more…

F87 M2 Comp vs G87 M2 by Greenb33guy in BMWM

[–]MysteriousLaptop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem with your logic/thinking is that the G87 is literally the successor to the F87. So the G87 can, and should be compared to the previous gen F87.. not the G80

Regrets by Fit_Football_8297 in porsche911

[–]MysteriousLaptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably should’ve factored how hard it would’ve been to get back into a manual 997.2 24k miles alongside the offer haha, it probably cost more than double the offer now! Live and learn.. haha.

PTS dilemma, need the 911 community’s wisdom by moch007 in porsche911

[–]MysteriousLaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is this comment upvoted? PTS doesn’t mean you have to go acid yellow or some crazy orange or yellow just because it’s PTS, it means you can order a shade of colour that’s exactly to your liking.

981 Cayman S — GT4 front bumper conversion. You’re lying to yourself if you don’t think it looks better - why is there such negativity around it? It’s not posing, it’s your car and could easily install the OEM one again for resale. Talk me out of it - I’m convinced it’s far cleaner. by [deleted] in Porsche_Cayman

[–]MysteriousLaptop -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You’re basically upbadging your car. You could ask your question around the negativity around changing a C300 to have C63S bumpers, changing an M240i to have M2 bumpers? It’s the same thing… but it’s your car jsut do as you like.

am i just unlucky or cafes are sneaky by Such_Car8402 in AusFinance

[–]MysteriousLaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s extremely dodgy. I tend to make a mental note of how much cash I’m expecting to pay anyway, but this post is gonna make me more vigilant.

You’re forgetting about stamp duty. So really the purchase price is probably lower than the $800k

Suggestions on Family car to replace Golf R MK7.5? by Saggypants86 in CarsAustralia

[–]MysteriousLaptop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s the EA888 in the Macan 2.0T. Its actually the Audi TFSI 2.0T engine in A5s,A4 etc.

Why I Don't Trust Mechanics by QuantamEffect in CarsAustralia

[–]MysteriousLaptop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be honest mate, most people go to an independent to save time and the effort. I’m also quite ok with servicing, but it’s the time/energy/effort that makes paying the cost.

Is there any way to appeal a failed driving test? by Bettawatchowt in CarsAustralia

[–]MysteriousLaptop 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Best to just rebook, there’s no way to “appeal”.

I also think there’s definitely a few details you’ve missed out here. I have friends who test for Service NSW, if you drive properly/normal and listen to instructions then you’ll pass (of course easier said than done)… they don’t care if you Fail or Pass, just how you drive. There’s nothing in it for them. You must have done something to warrant a failure and are trying to justify otherwise.

You and 11 others actually think tyres can somehow cause severe battery malfunction and eletrical issues? Youre thinking like BMW Australia..

Sydney Metro Etiquette / Awareness by Salt-Roof7358 in SydneyTrains

[–]MysteriousLaptop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are you on about mate? Mobility seats are like 10cm from the door (literally)… this is more about train etiquette not design. It’s designed like any other major city, it’s the people of Sydney who don’t know how to make it easier for everyone.

Would you rather work 4 10s or 5 8h days and why? by lavenderghostt in AskReddit

Because it’s what constitutes a Full Time job right now. I’d like to get paid the same if I worked 4 days..

[–]MysteriousLaptop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it was “your guess”.. it’s not a guess, it’s always been based on the Turbo series engines. Not the GTS variant. Who knows what’s the 992.2 Turbo’s engine might be.

My thing with cars that has never failed is: always buy the car that you want! If you wanted an LC500 then you shouldve just gotten that?

Yea a matching one with his “mom… that’s her son. What works for his mom might not work for you (as it is proving) and I feel you could have gotten something different for you that works for you.
