I wouldn’t be bored with a story or two from the past!!
So, years ago I needed a cheap center muffler fast, obviously Snowboarder runs Sharkwerks.

He stepped right up and mailed it to me N/C.
thanks so much for all the updates and being an outstanding test bed for Sharky guys.

What a great corner of the country you live to enjoy it!!

I can only imagine. In Dec 0f 2017 I met up with some P-car buddies at Porsche Experience Center LA and drove new Carrera GTS's. And that car cornered so hard I felt nauseous! Crazy!

Great to see you're driving your 18 GT3. MT or PDK? It looks badass with the black wheels and dirt on it.

just turned over 43k this morning driving to work.
even "regular" commute days are more fun in a GT3!

that said, may replace the 08 RS4 with an 18 RS3 for daily driving duties.

Thanks. Bought a used 2010 RS wheel and had it recovered as well as additional thickness added. Looked for the CLA option wheel forever to no avail so did the next best thing.

Thread revival.

Chime in with anything you want to add thats come up in your ownership.
On average what would you consider *high* miles for a car like this?

Options do not matter to me.
Higher miles are better since I plan on driving this until the wheels fall off.


About a year and 19,000 miles later I'm trying to do just that. Just rolled over 45k.
I know this isnt terribly common but would love to hear from anyone else with miles they would consider high.
