Yes, I am totally joking - Love ALL kinds of music. There can be something appreciated from any genre, old and new.
I break the Led out occasionally as well as having a "Floyd-a-thon."
Houses of The Holy and Animals would have to be my two favorite from these two groups.

Statman - where in Wisconsin are you from? We have a house in Appleton where I have my company, although I don't have a P-car there, they did just get a Porsche dealership...
Appleton is not too far away. I'm in Madison. If you have P-car withdrawal while in Madison, stop by for a spin in the Cayenne (or the cabrio on a sunny warm day).

AGREED !! Take them off and let us know what you think....I really cant believe the amount of wind noise these things make!! They look pretty aeorodynamic, but I think the pepper is slicing the air way too nicely and if you put anything on the roof, it gets in the way.
I just put them on now when I need to they are really light. You may need to re-do your road trip after you see what we are talking about

Tim - how do you take them off? I see a keyhole, but it is smaller than the vehicle key, and don't see a key anywhere. I noticed some latches that move up, but the rack doesn't seem to budge when I move just one and try to wiggle it (can't quite reach the other at the same time, you know?)

You should have been given a key. Turning that key allows tge latch to release and they lift off.

If you don't have the key you need to get it from the previous owner. Once you have a key you unlock both sides of the rack, slide it to the wide gap in the roof channels, and lift the rack off. The racks are very easy to remove but you need the key.

Yeah...since I bought my racks aftermarket a set of keys came with them. Maybe they are in the glove box or with all the paperwork you got from the dealer? Give them a call you may have been so excited that day you overlooked them

Thanks for a fun review. I've never seen better than 18mpg @ steady 70mph on my 2004 CTT. I now run with Pirelli ice/snows on 18" wheels and they are extremley quiet and feel I can go most anywhere. I was surprised to read how well your rubber on 20" \wheels performed for you.

I called the dealer to find out where the key is - we'll see.

Which Pirelli ice/snows (Scorpion?) do you have? Normally I didn't see better than 17-18 at steady speed, but those two times I did so I figured I should take a picture and post it. Perhaps the fact that I was being towed by a big rig had an effect on the numbers??
