Re: New Member Intros

Hey all, I’m from NW Ohio. Hope to get to know you all as I spend some time here. I’m into hockey, motocross and guitars as well. My Porsche is a 2000 996 cab. F6373899-2E14-44A6-B919-6E1D42682311.jpeg Awesome and welcome. I’m also a newbie here, and from Ohio too, but I’m down in Columbus. Also ha...

She is hot, but I’ll bet higher maintenance than a vintage Ferrari.
Agreed, but higher maintenance than two vintage Ferrari's and a Lambo.
You are getting close if you add in a rusty Jaguar...

Somewhat related - Ant’s wife Cristina’s new show was on tonight. Ant was on the show some - they looked at a nice $4M house together. He drove her around in a nice looking ‘64 Mustang convertible. She is still hot...

Do I still have to do this if my center caps have the color worn off of them?
I believe the answer would be yes.
Damn. Possibly I’m not worthy of Porsche ownership...

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com

Even Suncoast Porsche says it's a really thang! Thought you guys were just full of it. My apologies... :roll: Center Cap Alignment Our yearly reminder! Yes, this is a real thing. The emblem on your wheel should be pointing at the valve stem. This is a long tradition for Porsche, check your caps and...

Re: BMW 3 series wagons

Thanks for your input Daryll. I can’t belive you fit all of your daughter’s college stuff back there! Funny, I had never seen a GT until a few days ago when an Internet search pulled up several when I was hunting bmw wagons. I’ll add it to the list! It is a shame there are so few manufacturers sell...

Re: BMW 3 series wagons

That is impressive about the GT. Too bad about that ugly rear end (not liking the "fast back" look on the SUVs either). One of her RFTs blew out it's side wall like 3 months after she took delivery. We put Mich PS all weathers on it and never have gotten around to getting a goo can. Hasn'...

Re: BMW 3 series wagons

I have a 2016 BMW 335i GT - you might want to take a look at one of those if you have not seen one before. This is built on the long wheelbase three series platform, but with a hatchback. Huge amount of rear seat room - actually more than a five series. We picked ours up in Germany new, as a Europea...

Re: Tesla battery issue - smoke, then flash fire

That looks to me like the Tesla owner videoing the CCTV console, probably trying to figure out WTF happened to his sweet new Tesla. As far as the charger - I think the reflection may be the other car, but I think it's exacerbated by the enclosure swelling or warping due to heat. Hard to tell - the ...
