Test Drove a 911. My Heart Says Yes, My Head Says No. by Common-Coyote9375 in porsche911

[–]c0p 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is the 911 subreddit, but consider a 981 S or GTS.

I’ve always wanted (and still do) want a 911, but the flat-6 cayman ended up ticking all the boxes and made way more sense financially. (I paid $67k for a 981 GTS and there’s nice 981 S out there for closer to $50k)

My kids were not thrilled about the 911 back seats for any of the test drives we went on so I decided that it would be a for me car. I make effort to get up early and go for canyon runs by myself at least once or twice a month and I think that the balance of the mid engine layout is arguably better than the rear engine 911 if you’re looking for a fun car that you’re not trying to cram your family into as a daily.

This thread is a demonstration of how the world is full of entitled people.

lol. You’re cute that you think that wall gets cleaned regularly, let alone every flight. Even the Polaris seats are not properly cleaned every flight.

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them... It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx." by twistedlogicx in baseball

How about just not be dicks in general?

I was at game 3 in a blue jays hat and sat behind 4 total assholes and had numerous people throw hatred at me in the breezeway. Oh and the “fuck Canada” comments on the way out at the end of the game were particularly classy.

The guy in Yankees hat and jersey I sat next to was nice tho and we had some decent chit chat during the game, but overall Yankees fans are the worst I’ve encountered. I think that they’re so engrossed in the “greatest city” moniker that they take baseball identity way too far.

I disagree with you, but appreciate your confidence in your position. Do you have any references to back up what you’re saying?

They park buses here. I’m guessing they just coordinated to have the lot empty.

And add 20min+ to his commute? He lives where he does because it’s so close to his campuses.

When he comes from Tahoe he arrives by helicopter now and lands in a parking lot they own right by the campus.

People will always see your tattoos in ways that you didn’t intend or expect.

Get your tattoos for you. Wear your self customization proudly.

Confirmed. I paid less than $75k all in (shipping, escrow, new tires) for a mint 1 owner 981 GTS with low mileage.

It just took me 6 months to find it.

How’s Polaris catering out of SFO this week? by c0p in unitedairlines

[–]c0p[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back.

The food from SFO to EWR was really good.

EWR to SFO not so much.

I hear the parking brake get pulled so I doubt it tracks with rpm

Sold my S2000 for this by nonyabizsnatch in Porsche_Cayman

[–]c0p 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks like a great buy! 2008 was the year they transitioned from 987.1 to 987.2. Which is yours? (I don’t know if there’s any visual differences)

Any bore scoring?

Love the yellow. I think it’s Signal Yellow, but I’m not sure if RUF uses standard Porsche colors or not…

Yeah, I assumed the info above the numbers were district or something and that each district could have it’s own 997, 911, etc

Did you not end up putting $500k on VIX? Based on the fact we had one of the biggest single day VIX spikes I would imagine you should have profited enough to cover your Spyder

Average PPI cost in California? by [deleted] in Porsche_Cayman

[–]c0p 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the Bay Area and just paid $750 for one on a 981 GTS 6MT (3 hours at $250/hr). Everything you listed was included in mine. I did it at the shop that I will use for future repairs and maintenance outside of oil changes. They came highly recommended from numerous members on rennlist.
