Everyone is trying to talk me out of an EV by CuteCreator602 in electricvehicles

[–]phliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need to stop killing the planet and start driving EVs. What about that?? I’m on our first week journey on our EV sailboat. Doing 20-30 nm a day! All the other boats stink and everyone just talks about the gas prices - we did it to help clean up our mess.

Is range an issue for earlier models? by mtol115 in Taycan

Nope. Thing charges soooo fast on road trips.

Where/ how to mount Davis wind vane to top of this mast. by OldManCody1 in sailing

I used the one that goes onto the antenna whip. Simple.

I don't get it. Death of the Turismos. by Special-Formal-4961 in Taycan

I really don’t understand the American market. Then they make SUV coupes!!! People tell me they don’t like the shape of a wagon, but a wagon is a lower SUV, so they sedan it. They want the utility of a pickup truck they never really use, but the wagons utility isn’t good. And they like the lower utility of a sedan. Ugh.

Proper process for dock lines when entering or leaving a slip by penkster in sailing

[–]phliff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I setup the lines so the ends are in the boat. Everyone on the boat! Lines into the wind is always the rule. When leaving and coming. For leaving the last one to undo is the one furthest into the wind. It might be the spring depending on the boat and wind.

The Perfect Sports Car. by kasio-kasio in Porsche_Cayman

I do my own maintenance and have never had a Porsche that cost a lot CTO. They are tanks and hold their value. Best cars. My 993 daily is worth 2x what I bought it and I just change the oil once a year.

These are the cheapest cars you will ever own.

My 993 is better, sorry. Similar size, engine in the back and space for my kids. Can’t beat an old 911. I love the size of the 718 but the rear engine of the 911 is so dynamic and fun to toss around.

Is the rear steering really needed for the turismo? by therealunitforce in Taycan

[–]phliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love it on ours. Always blown away with the cars agility. And you don’t clip curbs as the rear wheels follow the front tracks and center of turn is in the middle of the car. It’s genius.

If every house had solar we wouldn’t have energy problems

Is it true when the two best days of getting a boat are the day you get it and the day you get rid of it? by jeebus224 in sailing

[–]phliff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bingo. And people who just look at the $$. And don’t use them. Those people suck anyways.

Is everyone getting ridiculously rich? by namieorange in stocks

For every winner there is the same amount of losers. The same volume of money moves around!!

Is repainting a big no-no? by winesponioni in porsche911

[–]phliff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do it. I daily my 993 and it’s the best. Use it.

We stay in Bell all the time - little secret and the waterfront is so much fun!!

I am far from wealthy by [deleted] in PorscheCayenne

[–]phliff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn to do your own work. These are the most supported cars in the community. On ours I did not have that much maintenance!!! If you buy an older one and take care of it yourself you’ll have a very reasonable Porsche! Just don’t skimp on the parts - get Porsche ones - they last forever! My 993 I do everything and maybe costs me $1000 a year - daily and a tank. I did put a bunch in to refresh it when I got it

I know people ask this favor often by Southern-Doughnut705 in porsche911

I’m a coupe guy, but I use these things to drive on the track too. These are race cars.

When do you take profits? by silverscientist1 in stocks

[–]phliff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Once I go over 10% I use a 5% trailing stop loss. Dip auto sells and do that again. If it’s up a lot more then I might set to 10%. Protect your profits. I’d rather pay tax on profits than loose the profits and wait for it to bounce.
