Nice. I was there a month ago. Not a single soul on the roads and it was a blast.

Big active copper mine. The mining company owns the whole town, lock stock and barrel!

This big guy was on the side of the road, luckily not in the middle, when we went by following the pilot car. Would not want to have met him around a corner going 70mph!!

Yes, big open pit operations - one of the largest users of Cat 797s in North America. Very neat, I'd like to see it one day.

Avoid the steer...

Just went and got my car back from having Ceramic Pro 7 year coating and having them also install Suntek Ultra PPF installed on the entire front end rockers and stone guards. The coverage on the stone guards are much larger then the factory ones. An if you live in Arizona you know why. Also had them remove old PPF from the previous owner. I had the wheels done to for some reason. They never seen to get much on them thanks to the pccb's. The outcome is spectacular. Ocean of silver flake.

The detailer I have used for the past 5 years and 5 cars later is Detail Boss in Scottsdale. https://scottsdalecardetailing.com/

Yep, the brothers at detail boss do a great job- have used them for several years. Leave your car there and let them work on it during Barrett-Jackson, and then walk over

Finally got around to installing the black emblems. Porsche Scottsdale quoted me $200 to put them on, but didn't charge me anything. Did they just build some trust in dealerships? Happy customer. 15 mins and done.

Lucky you ! Having that template is nice. I’ve been wrestling whether to change mine from chrome to black given the cost, I have the gt silver too and the black is good looking for sure.

I need some black emblem's in my life...

Dial 911 and/or Big Swole, where did you buy them? Crazy how expensive I'm seeing dealers sell black emblems for. Looking for a more cost effective option.

Only way around is to pull yours off and repaint them, or pay $600-700 for new ones lol.
I just pulled my badges off for a clean naked look.

Yeah, for that price, I'll just do a delete as well. I have no issues paying big $$ for the right parts but $600-700 for Turbo S badges is a joke. The price for badges seem to go up 2-4x just because it's a Turbo S? Ridiculous.

Yeah, the dealer I got my car from did mine. My car had painted emblems to match the paint, and they did them in black for me. Previous owner had them done but a couple didn't look perfect so I had the dealer do them again to make them perfect before the sale.

Paul has a nice, and descriptive, thread on plasti-coating the emblem - more economical and it looks very good.
