Damn, it's a good thing you didn't buy a Boxste'.

I never watched this show, but did they really call a Boxster a chick car? I mean, its a convertible I guess. There are a lot of other ones they could have chosen like a Miata.

On a related note, the oldest is two years away from her license. Is it wrong of me to be excited about picking out a car for her? I'm thinking sub-$10K, on the larger side (for safety) although I bet I could find a Boxster at that price especially an auto. Probably end up with a Jeep.
My kids first car was a 318is super safe, handled great, great brakes, small NA 4 cyl. Plenty of power once its going, not a speed demon from a full stop. Great first car for a kid

Right Front Tire Worn - Replacement Required

Post by FRUNKenstein » Mon Oct 02, 2023 4:01 pm

I'm browsing the Macan listings on the dealer auctions today when I came across one that had the temp spare mounted on the right front. When I looked at the condition report (which lists the problems that the cars have), I came across a notation that said "Right Front Tire Worn - Replacement Required." Here was the accompanying photo:

Yeah, I agree, I think that one's gonna need to be replaced.

DAMN. How fast do you have to be going to shred Kevlar like that?

*edit* The interwebs tell me that the "Ecoimpact" sidewall includes "textile reinforcements with fibres from renewable sources (rayon)."

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

I dunno about that. What's the tread gauge show?

At least they didn't list the right front wheel as a "custom wheel". Must not be the Louisiana auction site.
