Just checking back with an update:

https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2019/9/22/ ... -tom-brady

“Mahomes is the reigning MVP and he’s well in line to repeat with 1,195 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and no interceptions through three weeks. That puts him on pace for 53 touchdown passes and the NFL’s first ever 6,000-yard season.”

I'm rooting for Mahomes to win MVP. Better than the fancy dog, Brady. If there's one thing that will keep the Chiefs from winning the Superb Owl, it's Reid's game day management. The man knows how to build and run and offense, but I am not sure he understands what timeouts are. Watching him with the Eagles against my Giants, he was good for one screw up a game it seemed, even when he was kicking butt.

^ No argument there. And it isn't just timeouts, he doesn't seem to understand clock management in general - slowing down the offense and eating clock so that the other team doesn't have time for a game-winning drive.

Not a professional football fan, but as a Husker fan since @ 1976 I cannot tell you how many times I watched a superior Husker team dominate then get all conservative to protect the lead and lose the effing game. Do what got you there in the first place. Don't pull back on the reigns if you are riding a runaway horse just enjoy the ride. It took Osborn two decades before he figured that out. Then he won three Nat. Championships. Even running the clock before the next play can throw an offense out of rhythm. Pedal down! Make the other team out score you.

Rant over...

What is it with Porsche and liquids. Their oil is expensive and their coolant is ridiculously expensive. In a couple years I am sending two kids to college, so I don't even want to check on their brake fluid.

Any one know who makes their oil? I doubt they have a refining division.

I'd be shocked if it is anything other than M1.

Just remember my offer to pay for an oil change has a $250 cap on it, so don't get any ideas :P :lol:

DT-40 for the old '99, but as far as brake fluid, I think you can use any quality brand DOT4 without any issues.

Porsche sells their own brake fluid called the super dot 4 with part number 00004320366 - if you can pass the credit check. :mrgreen:

An older thread on that other forum mentioned a brand called Endless...which is more for the track junkies.

The 928S4, the 951 and our 2 first-gen Cayenne S models run on Prestone European Car Formula coolant now. Not buying the pink stuff. I may buy it for the 996TT when the time comes to change it, but we'll see.

That's what went into mine when I replaced the coolant return hose. Dumped it into the bucket and slurped it up with the Air Lift.

Just wait till that air-ride needs replacing, $$$
