Those are some beefy looking treads there.

Congrats!

Congrats! What model are the winter boots? Tread looks a bit more aggressive than on the Pirellis I run on the Cayenne and V60. But it just be the angle the picture was taken.

People kill people, but guns sure help. Also, apparently, this:

https://www.newscientist.com/article...ot-and-killed/

But I agree let's get back to cars. As a peace offering to the group, here is a picture of my shiny new Techart paddle conversion. I was considering the wheel swap that some have done but just couldn't live without my MF buttons. These paddles feel very good - a shorter throw than a 991.1 OE paddle but not quite as slick as the .2, and of course not metal Big improvement in wheel appearance as well though I feel. There is also something about having ones fingers around paddles while driving that makes the car feel even more solid and spaceship-like. Don't ask me why.

I bet you are excited. Actually today (Jan 15) is my 1 year Porsche anniversary (991 GTS Cab). You will enjoy the Cab experience, so exhilarating. It makes driving to the office in the morning a pleasure.

https://rennlist.com/forums/firearms...cessories-173/

And for the record, there are as much deaths cause by car accidents as guns in the US each year. Guns don't magically kill innocent people without an operator (like cars), idiots operating guns and cars do. Those law abiding citizens like me, do carry a gun and take extreme safety cautions/measures. It's like a condom, rather have it and not need than need it and not have it.

There's too many pros and cons arguments to start this type of thread here. So let's end it and post your arguments in the correct section.

Back to topic, I bought a Bell M.8 helmet. It's so light and tons of visibility. The carbon fiber version is actually more expensive and heavier, so stick with the regular version unless you like bling. Keep in mind the Bell do run a size larger compared to Euro brand, so if you wear L in Arai, you'll wear M for Bell.

P.S. The thing I love about car people is we rest all of our differences aside and agree that we love cars.
There are far more deaths caused by cars each year... its about 1,000 to 1....

you agree to get back to cars but not before linking an anti-gun article? i find that to be disingenuous, magicrat.

for every article like the one you linked, there are just as many stating the opposite.

a picture of a gun never hurt anyone. it's amazing how delicate & sensitive we've become as a society. geez...

Thank you for getting back to just cars! My dang winter tires are so dirty I got to go clean the sidewalls before I can read what model they actually are. I will get back to you later on the model.

On a side note I actually got stuck a little today in my V60, but I am running 18" low-profile winter tires on that car. I got high centered on a snow drift for a bit.

Minus taking the Lord's name in vain, I am in complete agreement. This is a forum about our wonderful cars. There are plenty of forums out there for gun lovers.
