Default 1000 Mile report



So after putting on a 1000 Miles on my car here a few thing i reflect on
1. This is the fastest car I have ever driven.
2. Knowing that I do not push it very hard I think the fastest I have driven is 105 and that was for not very long.
3. I do like the feeling that I have the fastest car on the road most of the time but have no expectation of having to prove it.
4. This being my 3rd Porsche 1st one 2000 Boxster, 2006 Cayenne, 2009 Turbo Carrera, I do feel it will be the last.
5. So far it has been trouble free for the most part (knock on wood) I did have a airbag light for a while bought the icarsoft Por!! to clear it seemed to work as it is no longer on. After getting it home from 300 miles away I found that the locking lug nuts for the wheels where missing, it did get new shoes from the BMW dealer, I suspect they did not have the tool to remove them so ruined them getting them off and did not replace. The PCM is still not working right and I am thinking it has been replaced as the XM radio does not sync with the Vin #.
6. It has become my Friday driver.
8. Still need to get another key as it only came with one.
9. Bought an air compressor on eBay $90.00 easy peasy now all I need is the liquid tire sealer.
10. I love my car.

It's fun to play with these cars. Another perspective is to have a chance to work on them to make them better than new.

Great report. I agree, I LOVE MY CAR and can't imagine any other car for the same money I'd want instead. These cars are HIGHLY underrated. So much fun to drive, and look at, and clean, because when clean, they drive and look better.

Me too, until encountering what I'm pretty sure was a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat...

Then I felt I was in the second fastest car on the road, with the most sane driver behind the wheel.
