Thanks for the suggestion! Since we're a Porsche dealership - we're currently only offering the oils directly available from Porsche, but we'll definitely look into expanding these options!

I'm not sure who makes that x-pipe section. It's just a simple 3" system with the x-pipe, no cats. I like that it's light, flows air, and cheap to make. I generally love the sound most of the time, but I will say that above 6k rpm full throttle it sounds kinda raspy. Definitely porsche/gt3 raspy, but still raspy.

I had my car attacked by a road cone that jumped out from the truck in front of me and ripped my front lip off and violated my front bumper.

Annual polish and seal of the paint. Car is for sale by the way. Video really shows the depth.

Swapped these two Fräuleins on the lift...getting ready to replace the front condensers on the TT.
Then came the impromptu photo shoot
Looking good for 16 and 25 years old.

can i ask what product was used on the black paint? i busted my car out of hibernation yesterday for an unseasonably warm February in NJ (53*F)... and the picture i took in the sun with all the reflection of the swirls made me borderline embarrassed to drive it... the paint needs some work...
