Does things happen in threes or the third time's the charm apply?

Hello everyone...new here...I just had a problem that Nick mentioned in one of his videos...except the only warning light was "high brake light" on my 2013 C4S..bought it CPO so just took to dealer last week...they said there was a kink in the wiring harness...they replaced wiring harness to rear spoiler under warranty...strange issue but seems to be fixed now....maybe this can help anyone who encounters same issue

Yeah. A bit of a mixed message there.

Oh! I see. Installing is fine, but whatever you do don't install. Got it. 😉

Just to prove that it’s wrong, get another 991.2 C4S

4 months with Porsche and they still couldn't fix it. Porsche,bring the car to some real technicians and pay for every minute of their diagnostic time. Make it a case study and teach it in your training classes that you offer to your technicians. Otherwise keep pushing the parts changers and it will cost you more in the long run.
" Porsche,where parts changers are being made. "

Just watched the video and sounds like Nick is reaching the end of rope with his car. He's at the point where he is not sure he wants it back. Not good.

I would be extremely pissed off if my new car was in the shop for four months. I'm not understanding what could possibly take so long.

Just watched Nick's latest video review of the 718 Boxster and I'm going back to my original position that PCNA should go way out of their way to keep Nick happy with the brand. Think they should give him whatever he wants up to and including a GT3, GT3 Touring, or 992 equipped just like his current 991. He's got quite a YouTube following (149k subscribers) and tons of views. If he were my customer, I'd keep him happy. I'd even throw in the "$8,000 Real Girl Mannequin Sex Doll" he says he wants. And one for Tui too!

It would be pretty funny to drive up to Montreal for F1 race week, then do a few of the exotic car laps around town with a couple of those sex dolls sharing the passenger seat. Although, one really needs a cabriolet or targa to make that work right. My sunroof just won't cut it.

Makes me think of Super Troopers.

I watched the video last night and it’s so disappointing to see this (continue to) happen.
