Here - I will let you be the judge. It is certainly not perfect, but pretty close. Will be interested in your thoughts. Daryll What's it look like on and at night? Don't get me wrong, you being happy with it is all that matters. The wife and I are just uber picky (especially since some colors (turn...

Re: Storing Extra Set of Tires and Wheels
Well, it’s up to you - don’t feel any compulsion to take them back as I can add some other trinkets to them and turn them into a silent auction “garage pack” for the KCRPCA fundraiser event we will have at the museum later this year. I hope to have the other wheel/tire on Monday. Fingers crossed. I...

Re: Introducing Porsche PCCM double din with Apple CarPlay for the 996
Yeah, I was expecting it to be a lot more expensive and was pleasantly surprised. I bought it through the local car audio shop, so I think I pretty much paid full retail. Edit: Mine is the Kenwood DMX-7704S. Looking online, this DMX-7705S is probably this year’s version of the same head unit. https...

Re: Introducing Porsche PCCM double din with Apple CarPlay for the 996
I have seen this, and some people on the facebook group are going nuts for it. But I don’t see the value for $1,700 compared to what I paid for a decent double-din conversion - pretty sure I’m all in well under $500. I’m sure the Porsche unit has some nice features but still... Daryll For $500 does...

Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
I forgot an important one - the Chevy Volt also used lithium batteries. My guess is that GM probably had a lot more fail-safe built into the Volt than Tesla used. It really does kind of concern me that Porsche had a car-b-que out of a new Taycan. There are three parts to making a safe lithium batte...

Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
It really does kind of concern me that Porsche had a car-b-que out of a new Taycan. Don't forget the 991 GT3RS (or was it the plain GT3?) when it first came out. They made all the owners stop driving them until they fixed it. Oh yea - forgot about that one. I'm sure there was some screaming in Stut...

Re: 951 Out of Body Shop After Spa Treatment
Looks great! Always liked 944's and 968's - classic shape and they drive nice. Looks like this one is a keeper for sure.

Re: Taycan has Torch Boy issues too
The vast majority of hybrids use nickel metal hydride batteries which are much safer than the lithium cobalt batteries used in pure EV's. The only hybrids that I'm aware of that use lithium batteries are the Prius Prime (like a super-Prius), the MB S-Class hybrid, and maybe the Porsche hybrids. Eve...
