Thoughts on this one? It's a 2021 base model Macan. The color reminds me of my first 914. Just wondering what the peanut gallery thinks of an SUV in that color.

Yeah I read he had some serious injuries. The $110+ million F35 didn't fare so well.

Are we talking True Grit rattlesnake pit?

Time to call in Rooster Cogburn?

Das small plastic line ist perfect! You must not change it in any way! The reason it has failed ist because the American driver has not done proper maintenance...der Dummkopf!"

Ha! Evokes memories of Sgt Carter doing his Hitler impersonation in Hogan's Heroes!

Continuing on, a buddy of mine decided he wants to buy my Carmine Red 2016 GTS. I've been driving it since I got it in December, and as you might imagine, I've gotten attached to it. But, I'd really like to get a Carmine Red Turbo (which I think might be a unicorn) - dammit, I've just become accusto...

In April, I got a call from my neighbor who bought my 2015 Macan S as the car had sprung a massive leak. I got him set up with my mechanic. Apparently, it was a "steam vent line" that goes from both heads to the overflow tank. It's a small plastic line that runs from the top front of the e...

Just a gorgeous color combo with the platinum wheels, exhaust tips and then the carbon fiber interior trim. IMG_1292.jpg b1250c6a-b5a0-492c-a03c-0bec7f26fe74.j...

They're back!

I ratted them out already...again.

Took 'em out and gave them the Kristi Noem treatment.

That WERKS for me. ;) Ha, I see what you did there. I think I am going to breakfast Saturday rather than autocross because there’s a car show I want to catch Saturday morning. Plus, I have a bunch of stuff to get done at home, so I really can’t justify spending til 3:00 pm at the autocross. So, hop...

I did some much needed cleaning and vacuuming in the garage today...and watched another layer of dust accumulate on the 996. Almost warm enough now to drag all the wash paraphernalia out onto the driveway for the spring cleaning...of the car now that the garage is in passable shape. The older I get...
