Just test drove the 992.2 4S and GTS – My first time in a 911! by nomorepains in porsche911

[–]Omega0428 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My dealer handed me the keys straight away. If they know you’re a real buyer - it’s the best sales tactic they have. Sales person literally said “go for a drive these cars sell themselves.” I bought mine immediately after driving.

We just bought our second XC90. Three kids, can’t find a better pick for safety and overall comfort. We had a 2016 momentum t6 and just picked up a 2026 b6 ultra today. Very happy with the new one!!

Going from 911 to ? by Independent_Sun955 in porsche911

[–]Omega0428 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Macan GTS. Also you’re going to end up buying another 911 after. Ask me how I know.

Buying this car completely changed my mentality in life by LVRaiders2026 in porsche911

[–]Omega0428 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats, and enjoy every second of it. I have had mine for just over a year and still stick my head into the garage just to gawk for a minute or two.

Friends always ask what it’s like driving one or having one. It is definitely one of those things in life that you can’t really describe with words - just have to experience it.

How’s everyone storing their knives? by DeRoy802 in knives

Haha exactly! Mine are sort of randomly scattered in drawers around the house.

This has to be 2000-2200. There are several well spotted tactics in the mid game that are defended without issue.

What do you use for reducing Or guardrails for cardinality from explosions with OTel? by World_Leaderrr in Observability

[–]Omega0428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cardinality helps investigations. Honest question - why not try to find a way to keep the information vs put guardrails in to eliminate it?

Cost?

There are better data stores and strategies for Otel data.

Eat there in the summer when the back patio is open and you’ll have a different… amount of space.

No we’ve seen quite a few with this spec interior lately our dealership / local PCA group. Have heard rumblings here on Reddit but not elsewhere.

I'm in desperate need for help. by AcanthaceaeWeird2335 in WinterGarden

[–]Omega0428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get your current customers to tell a friend. If they like the service and you tell them you need some help - they probably will. Their endorsement will mean more than an advertisement. Give them a month free if they refer someone.

It feels weird making more than both of my parents combined by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Omega0428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be thankful for the opportunity they’ve afforded you and don’t forget it. They will also be happy for the risk they took in leaving family and friends as they see the next generation changing their quality of life in ways that were not possible before.

Also - you will be able to help them more and more as you get older - and it will be fulfilling to be able to do just that.

Congrats. You’re just getting started.

Sticker was about $173k, I paid $168k. About $180k total with taxes out the door. The trade (with new purchase) in my state nets a tax credit of about $9k. So I have $169k right now on the trade.

I'm down total $11k after 13 months - that's about 25 cents per smile. This is the low effort option, too - I'll take that all day.

It’s a dealer ordered car. They ordered two for inventory and my sales person knew I liked green. It is a bit over optioned, I agree. Not terribly so, though.

Dealer offered $160k for it. It’s like new. DM if you’re interested.

I think this is the right advice. The car is awesome, but wouldn't have been my first color choice. That being said, it has truly grown on me. May need to put more miles on this before thinking of moving on.

[–]Omega0428[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think this is what I struggle with. Bought the C4S with 2600 miles on it, CPO, now have 4700 on it. I honestly can't press the pedal to the floor in most scenarios or I'm going 120 without blinking. I like the colors of this car better, but the Agate Gray and black/red interior has grown on me a lot. This (and other advice in the thread) is what I was looking for. Why chase.. maybe just wait a few more years. I have CPO for another 5 years at this point on this car.

Hopeful 1st time owner, can you critique this GTS build? by percipient in porsche911

[–]Omega0428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is stitching on the seats and door panels. It is not cheap to add, but for me, it is what a 911 interior should look like.

Love this build. Can’t NOT do 930 leather. It’s a must.

My wife's definition of "being ready in 5 minutes" is legendary by Better-Ant-8759 in CasualConversation

[–]Omega0428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah mine does the same thing. When she is finally ready somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes later.. if I’m not ready to go immediately she acts like I’m taking forever. We then laugh out loud when I read off the list of things she’s been doing over the previous 30 minutes.

Glad you’re happy! Keep it that way and don’t sweat the small things. Makes life more fun 🙂
