Perhaps in 30 years when its rare. Not likely.

I don't know how you found 1 hour in the last week when it hasn't been pouring rain, trees down and the forecast is for more of the same. My biggest Pcar thrill lately has been cleaning the wheels in the garage and using my xmas micro shopvac ($20 at WFC) on the interior. Thing sucks like a champ!!!

Be careful of Deer at night around here!!!

Why is it that "rummmbuhbubhbuum" is so satisfying?

I know it's like a drug, omg, Porsche. TS, I took the fairhaven back road to Bow last night topless about 8-9 pm. From Bow was supposed to come back but ended up going a lil on 20 and those flatlands a bit. Back along farm to market, through the little S-curve town (dunno name) and then to interstate. Indeed always watching those deer. Home was on i5 (still topless but a misty something was brewing so that was it once in the city limits again). Saw some debris from the wind to be sure!

Good that you got a placement under warranty.
About ten years ago one of my sons worked as a lot boy for two summers at a local Porsche dealer. Snce the dealer was only about a mile from where I worked, I drove my son to the dealer and picked him up after work. During our many commuting conversations I learned one valuable lesson from him: never buy a Porsche from a dealers lot that has been used as a demo.

I once received a demo of launch control in a 911S with 65 miles on it. Rep was apologizing that it wouldn't rev higher before the launch. Then he had me do it. (Evil grin).
