This is mostly due to the fact that I spend 98% of my driving time on cruise control on the highway. The 2% that I do get to play doesn't have enough impact to change that reading.
First chance I get as soon as you look away, I'm going to reset that puppy.

I was really considering a second gen Cayman S but am so afraid of ownership costs. My dad has a Boxster and it seems like something needs to be worked on every other month and nothing is cheap. Right now is AC is broken and the window break all the time. The windows on the Boxster drop similar to the Twins but unlike our car they hang under the lip so the door will not open if they don't go down. So when they break it's a pain in the ass. But it's really fun to drive and sounds amazing. I personally like the FRS handling better. Steering feel is nice on the Twins but better on his car. I sort of has the feeling of a non-power steering car. You feel everything in the road. Hands down his car sounds better though.

Good to hear from someone with actual Porsche experience. Somehow I am not surprised at the small but super expensive and annoying problems. Come to think of it never actually even met anyone who owns a Porsche. I mean I did have a teacher that got a 911 in UNI but she had to bring it back and switch to something "bigger" smh.. her reasoning was "I don't like having semitruck wheels in my face when I open the window on the highway"

I can now identify almost all pickup trucks by just their door handles and trailer hitches!

Dear Border Security,
Please be advised that there may be a suspected felon attempting to cross into Canada. There is hope that he may become hopelessly lost on the way but I figured you should be aware.




Oh wait...
I am still on the forum. Better make sure I hit delete and not subm

We are nothing. You should see the wives. I think they are dating at this point! Ultra and I have to just sit back and wait for the trip plans to be announced.
