Believe whatever you want. My contacts inside PCNA disagree.

Without revealing your sources… how does a conflict that doesn’t affect the building and transport of vehicles cause this issue? We’ve had conflicts spanning almost 40yrs now and it wasn’t an issue.

580 Porsches went to the bottom on the Felicity Ace. That’s 3 days of sales for PCNA (by 2021 numbers). 0.8%. Not statistically significant unless, sadly, it’s your GT3RS Charlie’s using to troll for hotties. And only God knows when your replacement will grace these shores. Porsche Nashville would only rarely hit me up for cold calls asking if I needed service. Now they spam my account-of-record at least daily over the past three months. They have 3 new ‘21 Macan Base, 1 ‘21 Taycan 4S and 1 2022 Taycan 4S to show with 9 CPO. My ‘02 is insured for twice my purchase price over 5 years ago.

Porsche sources some amount (a supposedly significant amount) of their wiring harnesses from manufacturer(s) in Ukraine. That supply has become severely constrained since late February’s Russian $hit-$how began.

Some of the parts for the Macan and Panamera have been made in Ukraine. Not sure what parts though.

That makes perfect sense and I wonder if they have other places to manufacture those items.

That might work for married folks!

For others, you just want to hang out with girlfriend 1 during the week and girlfriend 2 during the weekend. Girlfriend 1 is the safe option for daily routine and girlfriend 2 is hot and crazy and you appreciate her the most in small bursts. And if you give her away in the end, you still enjoyed your time and move on to the next.

And then forget about it

It's a street-legal 962, there is nothing else like this for sale, anywhere
From $154K in 2018 to $500K in 2022. And some miles added so hopefully fun was had. I just added it to my watchlist, just for giggles. What's the adage? "A rising tide floats all boats." Plus I think time has been kind to the 996 look. Headlight hate is waning.

Actually, this guarantees that there will be a next husband........
