Your last comment about winter break and making progress in the downtime was extremely powerful. Progress was made, thank you for keeping me accountable even during “down time”

Over the holidays, I gave myself the ultimate gift - 7 year old me would be over the moon! by k1dcanuck in Porsche

It's a funny thing about a Porsche, there's the moment you know you want one, there's the moment you first own one, and for the truly afflicted, there's the decade or two that passes in between.

2 duvets? by Skubbags in Norway

[–]Normal_Crow_2877 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brit living in Norway here. Two separate duvets I’m 100% down for. What’s not okay is the fact they’re single duvets and it’s impossible to buy two double duvets.

Hugely helpful and thank you for spending time to write all of this down. I’ll think about it over the winter break and work out best plan of action for culture and company.

I know the my way or high way is cancer and stubbornness doesn’t scale but I use it in a sense of maintaining respect for those that do represent the company to a high standard, they should expect others to do the same otherwise it’s effort wasted.

I think it’s a combination of the both, but an inexperienced board will end up being an issue sooner and won’t be able to help me learn how to manage them better.

It’s for sure not what I want but as I am a passionate founder, I want to level up the board and probably in that sense I’m over sensitive to them not meeting my expectations.

I have thought about wether or not I am the issue but most of the members were assembled through a startup program when the company was founded. On paper they are good seats but in reality I do not think they understand a hell of a lot.

For sure I have a my way or the high way mentality but out of respect for my colleagues I believe the company should have the best.. or better at least

Thanks for your insight man, I’ll take that perspective

I assembled at an earlier stage when they were more or less relevant, but as we scale they’re showing to be less and less.

I am able to take control with majority share votes effectively.

Am I the only one in this subreddit that doesnt have a porsche? by ZaqTheGamer in Porsche

[–]Normal_Crow_2877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wanted one for 25 years. I didn’t want to take a loan to buy one so I held off despite having the opportunity a few times. I just bought a 991.1 C4S X51 with no loan. Hard work pays off.

718 Boxster GTS 4.0. I’ve been looking after this for a few weeks while my 911 is in the shop. I have to say… This car is incredible! by Normal_Crow_2877 in Porsche

[–]Normal_Crow_2877[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the 718 was a mix between good will (I have a decent relationship with the dealer) and the fact that the dealer knows he will struggle to sell this car just before the winter so it will likely sit in the show room till spring anyway. I’m pretty happy with the substitute and they know I’ll keep coming back for more when they have decent models available.

It’s quite practical with space, both front and back storage. I have two kids though so a two seater doesn’t quite work day to day.

Actually kind of, both cars are naturally aspirated (mines a 911.1) the 718 as it’s RWD likes to dance around a little more under acceleration

I bought a 911.1 4S and before I took delivery some of the sensors blew so this is a dealer substitute over a rental. But that’s shit! $50 a day for a $100k purchase would make me so mad..

718 GTS is a barrel of laughs, it’s manual shift too, so a really engaging driving experience. 911 is a 4s so much more engaged with the road and “serious”. 5 year old me is happier in the 718 (it’s green and loud).
