I'm guessing those newer cars also have airbags too.
Nice that they'll swap the rims for you.
Part of the problem is I have too much time on my hands, but that's likely to change pretty soon. Frankly, I'm thinking about this car as a potential flip. It's right up my mechanic's alley, he's brilliant with older Vdubs and Porsches. One of his Karmann Ghia restos won a national award. I sent the link to him to see what he thinks. All in all, it's what a 911 should be.
True that. I've never liked Bridgestones, Michelin and Pirelli for me.
Projects... I've been looking at projects. Here's one: http://www.autobidmaster.com/carfinder-online-auto-auctions/lot/28769532/COPART_1956_PORSCHE_SPEEDSTER_CERT_OF_TITLE-SALVAGE_FLOOD_GLASSBORO_EAST_NJ/
I think my garage can fix this for less than what they think. That's quite a nice little ride. The problem is, my wife has said "no more cars", I told her, "it isn't a car, it's a project", somehow that didn't get very much traction. lolPart of the problem is I have too much time on my hands, but that's likely to change pretty soon.

Went and picked up the new Carrera S, the whole process took ~an hour and a half. I don't know what I was thinking before with that PDK AT, this manual is pure badassery. It's perfectly smooth and precise with a clutch that doesn't abuse an old guy's knee. The voice recognition really sucks, though. I was told it will improve as it learns my speech patterns, Southern Hillbilly must be difficult for it to master.All in all, it's what a 911 should be.
Well, AM is discontinuing the Vanquish S changeover program, to go from DSG to a 6-spd stick (for those who want it), and they only have a handful of gearboxes left for that purpose. Hey, it also includes an ECU remap that gives it 35 more HP (like that car needs more HP) and an extra 2-4MPG (a blessing, since it now gets ~12). I guess I'll be driving it to NC this week. They say it can all be done in a day, I have to see this.
As an aside, I got to drive the 458, by myself finally, and it's... Imagine this big, nasty looking predator, now the twist is that it loves you. It won't hurt you, it'll go out of its way to not harm you, but if your head somehow ended up in its mouth, you'd still feel a little uneasy and get a massive rush of adrenaline. Yeah, a little something like that.
Oh, and when you wind it out it sounds like two giant, pissed-off bumble bees having sex.

Taking the fam? Bet Emma's never seen NC before. How is the little princess btw? She's so adorable!
Okay, if you say so. Bee pr0n just isn't my thing...
Well, this next series is going to be something else, a bit of a return to insanity.I can totally picture the puppy licking her face, and her trying to hug it. All accompanied by lots of panting and giggling. Good times...
