Be careful, I have GEICO and about 10 years ago they covered my damage from truck tire blow out on the road but recently a similar situation where the car in front of me hit a truck tire blow out and threw it out in front of me. The damage was not covered because they asked me if it hit me in the air or was it on the ground. It was on the road when I hit it and even though there was no time of space to avoid it. The damage wasn’t covered.

Nice build, love your interior. But no sport chrono? That means no launch control and that is a must for me.

Maybe having a gecko (snake with legs) as their mascot is a clue.

In my profession it’s usually the other way around. If you’re looking for a referral PM me.

Yes, I hear that you have to be very careful on the mean streets of Utah.

In the original story Pinocchio kills Jiminy Cricket with a hammer and burns his feet off. So I understand why you might be hyper-sensitive.

That would have been really cold and cool if you hadn’t completely screwed up who Jiminy Glick is. 🥶

You have the wrong characters, comrade. They must not have received Comedy Central in Mother Russia. Speaking of which, character development is a very important art. If you're going to play a tough guy, you CAN'T be from Utah. I want to believe you're a strong, mean guy just about as much as I want my next car to be a Hyundai Accent. Let's pump the brakes on your nonsense.

Okay, this bizarre tangent can end now. It appears some folks were kidding while others took things seriously. Everyone take a breath. Thanks.

Were you referring to my build or the one from @luckycanine? I cannot remember if his/her build has it, but mine does.

And I hate Geico, for what it's worth.

I passed on sports chrono. I did a few dumps in sport mode, throttle to the floor and while it wasn't as quick off the line, I still enjoyed it very much.

Hi guys, since people have been talking about leather so much, can someone tell me how to get the configurator to actually show me what my deviated seats will look like? I have chosen the 930 package and the Deviated interior stitching and deviated center seat options. Thanks.

There is an issue with the configurator. I have tried multiple times and it does not work.

Shame on Porsche...no excuse for this. 911 is the most profitable car in the world by total volume. They need to reroute some resources to their IT department.
