He's not a soothsayer. Don't forget Valeant Pharmaceuticals. And Target. And Herbalife.But I'm super glad he is doing so.

I'm in the high-end audio business. My online sales have soared along with companies in the MI (Music Industry) space like Sweetwater. It's a good time to work on the car.

You know what, you're right. I wasn't complaining, just trying to spread some humour. But, you bring up a great point about how privileged we really are. For every cent I spend (or have spent) on the car during this crisis, I'm going to donate the equal amount to local charities who are really going to be needing some help shortly. Thanks for the push!

Good for you, but let's all remember that every dollar you spent ultimately supports somebody's business or job. I am sure they do not think keeping jobs possible is frivolous.

I've looked at those a couple times, let us know how you like it.
A guy that used to track a heavily modded earlier one w/slicks was very fast at Pacific.
Lots of bang for the buck and room for my dogs too!

Will do, the hard part will be not voiding the warranty by chipping it to unleash 100 extra ponies. Already ordered solid sway bar ends for the rear, weather tech matts and a real spare tire kit. I really really need to stay off line. Good thing I have the 991.1 perfect for me, although there is that DSC thing...hmm...

Chip it, c'mon!
I've thought of that DSC thing too, then remembered I told myself I won't mod the 991 until I trade it for a .2 that has worthwhiole power gains.

I've heard a lot worse, and besides, Soul cats go a long way in improving the sound in my car.
