Lol.


You should buy a BRZ and install a Cosworth supercharger and you are done. Maybe some better looking wheels and sticky tires too. It looks that Porsche are too expensive to maintain. Yesterday I had an issue with my overpipe(*) and I 'll need to install a new one. I am sure I could find a used really cheap, but I was in a hurry and not located in US so I ordered a new one. It'll cost me less than a Porsche dealer oil change!


(*) We had to remove the exhaust for some other change and one stud bolt broke. The mechanic fixed it, but it looks I have now an exhaust leak.
