I miss the glory days of being 19 years old, driving across the bridge from Detroit to Windsor, starting the night with Labatt Blue, poutine, and 5-pin bowling at the Palladium. It would then of course go down hill as we stumbled our way through Windsor Casino, hit a few bars, then close the night at Cheetah's.
Canada is such a great place. Many fond, yet fuzzy, memories. Still have some leftover loonies and toonies laying around in the coin jars!

Old is It!
I couldn’t agree more. I can’t wait to get out of my Macan and jump into my 1980 targa
Drivers are getting sick of all the computerized aids in new cars. The trend is towards less driver control and more automation. The 996 is an attractive package because it is so simple, light, naturally aspirated, and very little in the way of systems to get between you and the road. You could argue this makes it more "pure" in some sense than the 997.
It's in a sweet spot of performance, comfort and usability, and it just so happens to be the cheapest 911 you can buy. No wonder so many people want them.

I can't tell you how many things are a step backward on the Macan than the 5 years older Q5.
For me, cars in the early 2000's are ideal -- they have all the creature comforts I need and none of the complexity or "Rubik's ergonomics" menus. I dread each new car, ergonomically. I'll take the safety features in new cars, but everything else I would vastly prefer to live without.
EDIT 1:: Forgot to mention: Why not just check the owners manual? RTFM and all that. Because there isn't one. All there is a set of video tutorials online and a "Good to Know" Porsche app (should be renamed "Wish I Knew"). How many tutorials do they have for resetting tire pressure warnings or changing wheel size? Any number less than 1 would be correct.
/end rant (for now)
EDIT 2: -> Begin rant 2: The sequel nobody cared about or wanted
So, I finally found this document I used the first time (https://enginepartsdiagram.com/porsc...g-light-reset/) where you can reset it in 8 (actually 10) not so easy steps. All you have to is turn the key to on, but do not start the car, then figure how to exit the tire pressure warning screen, then scroll up on display screens to the tire pressure screen, then click the scroll wheel, then change the tire size from 19 all season to anything else, then drive the car for 2 minutes above 16 mph, then stop and reset it to the proper tire size, then drive for about 15 or 20 minutes above 15 mph while it measures the new tires. I had to drive it so long that the wireless CarPlay (via wireless adapter), that is supposed to immediately connect automatically, finally connected on its own about 10 minutes into the tire resetting trip. I love new cars!

Factory XAA 7/98 built.
I’m not crazy on the interior but my 408s wheels that are painted guards red would look bad *** in this thing. How much you guys think this goes for???
