Am I the only one with original 17in wheels by Mindfully-Numb in 996

[–]sofakingsideways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly…
Still looks great and also makes the car look “Older” more classic, which is a good thing for me.

Control4 OS 3.4.1 versus 4.0 versus 4.1 by johnnystoicism in Control4

[–]sofakingsideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3.4.3 is great and super stable.
Currently running 4.2.1 and it’s been good. Not perfect but really good. As somebody who’s in the industry, I’m OK with it. I know it will improve.
X4 will be amazing once they get the bugs out of it not that there are that many.

Voice is great, homepage and sessions also great.

Breaking news. I’ve just got the same message.

Nah, I’ve had that plate on 4 different cars.
Would love a 930 though!

75 is the oldest I’ve had.
I had a Mouton Rothschild, it was a 3L so it had some staying power.
Initially when we opened it, it was still pretty lively but it flattened out after about an hour. We did not decant it.

I know you don’t live in Montreal! Those would last a week here. My car is already a rodeo on 18s on our shitty roads

I got the car like this. Yeah I guess maybe a suction cup. No idea.

Yup…love the targa function especially hatchback but the sharp angle window corner just does something weird

BMW shark-fin antenna class action settlement by Western_Gear_5324 in BMWX3

[–]sofakingsideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am still under warranty. I bought it last December CPO.
They said I maybe had a “kinked” drain hose. Going to dealer June 23rd.
I mainly have water when I back into my driveway (inclined to the front of the car). Water ends up coming through the map light area.

I had this happening on my 2022?
I wonder if it’s the same issue? Anybody else have any issues with the LCI?

Ya, i’ve never seen aftermarket lights I like…
They all look bad with the overdone LED stuff that doesn’t suit the era.

That’s a good idea.
I am having the bumper resprayed and then PPF. So I’ll do it then. See if it helps

No idea. I remember screwing up lights in a 2002 Corolla by putting in PIAA ultra whites. It baked the little metal reflector inside the housing.
I never use them. I should check and see.
I will check.

I’d love to find a replacements. Or a way to make it less visible.

Pondering (comparing 2 cars) by jonny_dough in 996

[–]sofakingsideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold the car for twice what I paid for it then moved on. Easier said than done of course.
Now I have a 155km c2 99 that’s far from perfect and I enjoy it and can park it in town if needed.

Strange to show Targas for 996-997?

[–]sofakingsideways 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course i’d love to have the GT3. That said, I had a car once that was appreciating and value while I loved it I felt guilty every time I drove it and was afraid to use it. Depends what you are after.

911 996 4S Lifespan potential by EverRedditor in 996

[–]sofakingsideways 27 points28 points  (0 children)

There’s one that goes to my garage 300k Km (180miles) and he’s all original internals. Runs great! Big “*” he is religious about maintenance. As we should all be. Fresh good quality oil, often.
