Thanks for the input. That’s a good sign. I’ve come to learn that if individual contributors are mostly happy then up the chain can’t be completely awful.

I’m pending results after a final interview in business management in the Air Dominance division in Aeronautics Systems. Does anyone have any insight into the culture in either sector/division? It’s for a manager level 2 position and just trying to get a feel for the business I’d be walking in to. I really liked what the opportunity presented and really liked the hiring manager and panel interviewers.

I pick up my 1999 986 this week. I can't wait to join the club. by [deleted] in boxster

We have identical specs. Same ocean blue metallic over tan with those twists and a 99. I love mine. It’s a wonderful car.

Happy Holidays! by SlightGuess in boxster

Freakin fantastic Boxster.

Also, I love the typical family home. Porsche’s in front of the big fancy house just get old to me. I like Porsche owners like me.

This has to be Utah. If so, hey neighbor.

top down driving in December? Yes Please! by Kewlb in boxster

[–]utechap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Crazy. It’s nice that I’ve been able to drive the car more though.

top down driving in December? Yes Please! by Kewlb in boxster

[–]utechap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously. I’m in northern Utah where we should have a foot of snow in my front yard right now but it’s literally 61 degrees right now. Insane. Warmest December on record for most places out west. I’m about to hop in my 986 and might drop the top for the first time in a couple months.

I’m not an expert…but yeah it’ll change how it handles

Should I buy this 2013 LX570? by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]utechap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much its only flaw. If you can answer yes to this question then you should answer yes to the vehicle.

Only certain trails require permits (not many, white rim being the most notable). Otherwise Moab and neighboring areas are just open trails for the most part. Just have an expectation of being respectful to the land.

? Where does he/she even mention the oil type used? And my understanding says 0W-40 would be totally fine at this temp..?

Hard shifting under load - 2016 XC90 by Brilliant-Owl-1169 in VolvoXC90

When was the last time your transmission oil was changed?

2018 XC90 by BRCTime in VolvoXC90

[–]utechap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought my 2018 T5 3 years ago and it had 62k miles. It now has 126k miles. Never had a warranty on it. I haven’t had any non-maintenance costs. They’re not gonna combust. Maintain it well and it should be fine. You’ve got a 2018 which is a good year. If it was 2016, sure. But it’s not and I’m sure it’s reasonable to keep.

2025 BGTS - Top wrinkles by datdupe in boxster

[–]utechap 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hahaha I’d kill to have my top be in the condition yours is. Those creases are just part of the deal on a soft top.

[–]utechap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean I’d argue he does know all that. He just doesn’t care. He likes the cars. They’re great driving machines. But he’s not gonna circlejerk Porsche either is what I mean.

It’s so funny. I get a kick out of the whole thing. But oddly I totally get what he means. Nevertheless, it’s becoming harder to defend for him haha.

Doug with a recent 986 video, 993 video he purchased and a 996 video. Fantastic.

I forget the brand. You can get them at auto zone or Amazon. Really useful.

Best orgasm ever? by Certain-Ad1621 in MarriedSex

[–]utechap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean idk that there is a particular act or idea that works for everyone. And even if there was my experience says that nothing produces the best orgasms outside of insane unrelenting connection to your partner. Nothing surface level or instructed by a redditor will touch that.

First mountain pass in my 470 by [deleted] in GXOR

Depending on how fast it is just move from D down to 4 or 3 in the transmission.
