Just dropped the TTS off at the dealer to investigate the "Spoiler Failure" that many are having and wondering about.
I'll report back once they decide what the "Fix" is. I'm betting they want to replace that "brain" like many have had, since everything works perfectly up to 77 mph regardless of miles driven (after code cleared).
78 mph is the key for the failure to pop. Has to be electrical.

I hope that isn't too spendy - my money is on wind loading against a switch or sensor or short @ 78 mph that is just 'enough' to throw something out of whack.

Brian at Above & Beyond is just awesome. His attention to detail is second to none, and the option to include your expertise on a custom Cobb tune with the other bolt ons (i.e. IPD parts, intercoolers, etc) has got me wringing my hands with anticipation....

Got another fvcking flat; I swear I have had more flats on the 991 in the past three years than I have had on all the rest of the motors in the last twenty.

What a **** off.

It's Vancouver... there's construction EVERYWHERE.

Screw, close to the sidewall, so I am not going to plug it, I'll take it over to the tyre shop in a few and hope they can save it with a patch.

That is very true - and, as luck would have it, it happened very close to the shop so it didn't need to be towed. Still, the shop just advised that they cannot patch it, so they will plug it short term, and I've had to order two new rears, which is also something I could have done without today...

Yep, if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
