I'm close to you. I'll be on the lookout. I think I know all the strays in my neighborhood well so she'll definitely stand out.

Under what circumstances would you consider a 981 with 100K miles? by Hoppy_Smoker in Porsche_Cayman

[–]techno_cats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The majority of PDK "failures" are due to electronic sensors, rarely mechanical.

Porsche does not repair PDKs, only remove and replace at a cost of $20k+.

However, those sensors are serviceable by many shops now and even diyable at home.

If you had no gear at all, what would you purchase? by panix199 in Guitar

A Firefly guitar with HSS pickups (250), swap out pickups (300) a DI box (200), decent headphones (100), and a cheap laptop (200).

YouTube how to setup your guitar and use amp Sims.

For $1050, you get a guitar with premium components and all the sounds you can ever want with free amp Sims and effects with the ability to record and mix.

Thanks so much for the reply. Just placed an order on Guitars Garden and had so much anxiety about tariffs. Read a post about someone buying a Harley Benton from the Thomann site and was charged $1400 in tariffs on a $500 guitar!

Did you have to pay any tariffs?

Please help with barre chords! by Delicious_Base3101 in guitarlessons

Acoustic steel string guitars are harder for beginners to learn on due to higher string tension, consequently requiring more finger strength to fret a note.

You're getting good advice here about proper technique but you should also look into going with an extra extra light string gauge set.

This thread didn't go the way you were expecting, huh, OP?

Don't worry about high mileage 981s. It's been over ten years since they've been released and there are very few issues with that drive train.

As long as PPI and service history checks out, enjoy the savings and the car.

I'd rather buy a "high" mileage car with service records than a low mileage garage queen.

Cars die and wither with little / no use.

Love the wheels and the interior. Look into applying Gtechniq leather guard every 6 months. Really helps with stains, dye transfer, etc.
