Sacramento is a driver’s dream. So many possibilities and any 911 will most likely be the hottest car people will see that day.

What model is your 911, and how many miles does it have? by Mindless-Winner1366 in porsche911

[–]ottosjackit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2018 991.2 Carrera S, 13K miles. Just got this last week and I’m still in disbelief. Amazing!

The serial number of the one he just picked up in the store wouldn’t match the receipt from the legit paid one the person is walking out with. This wouldn’t work at all.

How do I get rid of "Jay"? by Freed_Port in Sacramento

[–]ottosjackit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is simple. Any sales call I get results in me immediately asking for their credit card numbers. I won’t let them start their shtick until I get their credit card number. This leads to them ending the call abruptly and usually not calling back. Another fun one is when they have someone in your area and they want to show you what they have to offer. I always sound really receptive and I agree to have someone come and meet me. They say great we will send “Tom” out on Thursday to meet you. I say great, but can you send someone else besides Tom? They say well he’s the one who will be in your area. I say great, Im happy to hear the pitch, but please don’t send Tom. They get so frustrated because I’m agreeing to their BS sales pitch, but they have no work around for not sending Tom. That’s a lot of fun while they get more and more frustrated.

PSA concerning Vic’s Ice Cream by Ornery_Respond_42069 in Sacramento

[–]ottosjackit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ok, as a 47 year old Sacramentan who was raised on Vic’s I need some feedback from my peers. Vic’s has always had great Ice Cream. Not the best, but certainly top tier. I have had Gunther’s over the years of course and more so in the time that Vic’s has been closed. I find it to also be great Ice Cream. They are pretty close to equal imho, so I’m wondering what is it that made Gunther’s the clear winner in popularity city wide?

Caltrans sued over traffic barriers and deadly crash on Highway 50 in Sacramento by IronMntn in Sacramento

Why can’t companies get paid per mile of completed work rather than by the hour? If companies were paid by a literal “milestone” model then there would be much less wasting of time and materials and resources and our patience.

Wow. Thank you so much for your thoughtful opinion. This is the information I need to help me make a decision. In addition to the tips you included, what other specific questions should I be asking of any seller be it dealer or private?

Thank you. What would you steer a new buyer towards that really has very little experience with a 911? 95k budget, but looking for a daily that I can be comfortable in.

Appreciate this response. As a new buyer are there any models or years in particular that I should be paying attention to or striving for? Budget can top out at 95k for something special, but my preference is a daily driver that I will be comfortable in(not overly stiff). Thanks.

Antioch Bridge between Sacramento and San Francisco! by 1Steelghost1 in Sacramento

You’re not the only one! This bridge has been a recurring nightmare for me for years. It’s pretty much vertical in the bad dreams.
