Looks great. I'd be tempted to go with speed yellow stitching instead of racing. What are you doing with your white car? You put so much effort into it...

First shakedown trip in my new car! After taking delivery a couple weeks ago, and then a week in PPF purgatory, followed by two days of rain... I finally got to drive her. Took it out in the desert to Tortilla Flat, Arizona and beyond.

Roads were a bit damp and dirty from the storm, but the car felt completely alive. Fantastic stuff.

The sun even peaked out long enough for a brief photo shoot.

Another 200 mile through one of my favorite desert loops planned for tomorrow! Merry Christmas all!

I’m intrigued as to why go with speed yellow stitching instead of racing? I’m all ears. Yea I’ll never get rid of my white T. This one is just cause I really like the T. I think it’s at the end of its run and it’ll keep the big miles off when I have 2. It’s

The same principle I used with my air cooled and it worked when I sold them. I just think the T is like an air cooled sweet spot car.

I will bet most of the new ones (especially the manuals) are customer cars that just automatically populated.

T ethos is good for those who want that, otherwise their config is perfect for them.

I've seen them do this many times. Inbound customer cars are showing up in the search, but they aren't available when you contact the dealership... It's sort of free advertising for dealership/Porsche...

When I clicked “available immediately” on the Porsche Finder, it took 21 in the mid-Atlantic down to 5. So there are some out there truly for sale…

My SA said the same thing so I steered away, no pun intended, and put money elsewhere. It’s just that they look so killer. But as you say, not as a daily…ie, killer on my daily backside.

I don't literally use my T as a daily driver but I do use it for occasional chores. The Full Bucket Seats are not bad to sit in; they are just a pain to get in and out of. You have to fall into them; to get out, you put your hand on the door sill and pivot on your wrist. If you're 20-50 it's no big deal. If you're 50+ it's probably not reasonable. The thing that annoys me the most is that you can't really have anything in your back pockets when you sit in the seats and you can't be holding anything in your hands when you maneuver out of the seats. I'm just not sure what to do with my phone, wallet and keys every time I get out.

Possibly, but it is my understanding that dealerships have the availability to remove these listings on their own accord as it is not fully controlled by PCNA. My local dealership’s inbound and/or in stock new inventory are always omitted.

I quit looking in the new car section at my local dealer because of this. They were actually never available. But recently, new cars are actually sitting around long enough to get photographed, at least for now. It's odd that the other local dealers, SF, Walnut Creek, Burlingame, Stevens Creek, Livermore have almost no new 911's between them listed online.

(Hey, you said T, not 992.)
Is it because Bimmerpost is broken?

The charging cable comes out from in front of the windscreen and is not pinched when the boot lid is closed. I note you have yours connected with the car covered, I am not sure if this is a good idea as when charging I think you need some ventilation to prevent overheating ?
Season Greetings . Best Devon racer.

Cool racing shoes Devon Racer

On a serious note, what is the CTEK equivalent of Porsche branded charger?

My Amazon zapping is not returning the correct article.


Merry Christmas!

Yeah that sounds nothing like what I would like in a daily. I miss my old “cut out style” seats I use to have in my f80 competition, they looked the part, had great holding in place but none of the track bucket seat discomfort as carbon fiber style usually do. Two tone leather, they were supportive and great looking without PIA in/out.
