@Pivot for the fear of being misunderstood: I have made some tongue in cheek remarks towards you regarding pictures of your beautiful T. They were all meant seriously. I just love your combination and can never see enough pictures of the T. Could you post some here? I coincidentally went to another topic here on the forum (pic pic pic) and saw you posting there. Like many others not everyone is checking any other threads.

So just to be clear: if you have a T and got pictures please post them all here. We don’t mind. WE LOVE IT! And our deer friend @ECNJ was even making videos about it.

There has never been such thing as too many T pictures. I shall set a good example.

Cool badge @Macboy

All is in order, I don’t recall ANY offensive statements, it’s just a friendly banter. Bring it on, it adds some colour

Quick question; With or without rear seats, is anyone fitting a set (or 2) of golf clubs behind the front seats? Or would I be in the same position as my 981 and have to stick them in the passenger seat?

Also... 25k over original msrp? Am I missing something on this or is this the used adm trend on these? https://www.porschegreensboro.com/us...AA2A92PS205733

@Wilder @Taffy A conundrum for you. If the dealer offered to swap the Michelin PS4S on my previous T (Still sitting on the lot) on to my new car would you go that route or just stick with the Eagle F1 super sport ? The car / tyres have only done 35 miles, But have been sitting around for 5 months July-November.
In those circumstances would you leap at the offer particularly Wilder with regards to what you said about the Michelins on your Macan?
@gargey thinks its all a lot of hype anyway!! Maybe I am just over thinking this, but like Wilder I desire to extract the best driving experience the car can offer me.

This dealer is simply hopefully that they land an uninformed sucker. The preowned market in the U.S. is slowing, even in the luxury/premium market.

@Devon Racer While you did not seek my advice that would certainly be tempting. The only downside and a large one, is the car has been sitting for five months and clearly driven very little, so my best guess would be that the PS4S are probably flat spotted and in more than one area. Per my 35 years of experience with Michelin tires, they tend to flat spot fairly easily.

I'd take the Michelins, assuming the new car is coming soon. Flat spot will go away in about 15 minutes on the highest at most.

The only downside is an older tire that will expire sooner than a new set.

I don't think my Goodyear's are that bad. Michelins are better. Pirelli's suck, and that's not hype.

One’s mileage very well may vary on that. I have seen many European vehicles that have sat for 2-3 months and the tires were flat spotted so badly that the owner(s) have had to replace the tires. A tech can always properly balance a wheel to help with flat spotting, but they cannot perform the impossible by making a square tire round again. 😂

I can get my bag and clubs in the back excluding driver and 3-wood. Those could probably stay in the back at an angle (outside the bag), however I just put them in the passenger seat since I didn't have another passenger with me.

You should probably get a roof rack and tie the D to one side and the 3W to the other.
