Constantly jumping in the wife’s Mini JCW looking for the clutch to start it. 😆

Sometimes they are a thousand bucks off that price.
Do you put 19/20 size wheels on for winter??

The smaller the better! More rubber/air, more cushion/deformation. Better ride. I've had a separate winter wheel/tire set for every car the last 5 or so cars (including a Carrera 4, a Cayman S, Macan S) I've owned and always downsize on the wheel as much as possible. A narrower tire also helps dig in better for snow and ice. The tire diameter is the same (change in aspect ratio to match). When downsizing wheel diameter you do need to be sure the wheels will still fit the brakes, but that's not an issue on the base brakes (non-PCCB).

Ha, since I’ve mainly been driving T, not looking for the paddle shifter there….but I was embarrassed to mention more than the downshifting with the water bottle but ditto on the imaginary clutch!

If we go beyond street cars, we have 961 as the race version of the 959. Then 962.

Ah I see I see, the 964 is certainly an Iconic car, then yes the much odd ball of all of Porsches the 968

Heeeeeey - the 968 is one of my favorite cars, it was the perfect sign off to the 944 generation.

you are right, its a really well-made car, I like it more than the 944, but it is no less an oddball, It's still really cool and the Boxster took inspiration from the convertible 948 a little I think because it also has the squat wide look

If you want a goal, shouldn't it be 992?
