Well, this option is probably just as expensive (just in groceries), but does nothing for me.

harsh......that car must have a truck suspension under it.

porsche4life 05-23-2014 12:52 PM

But it is a truck. ;)

Porsche-poor 05-23-2014 12:57 PM

ok its a truck. bet it has load levelers under it.

That red 928 with pickup bed is real and in Dallas sans motor. That picture sans payload is from when it was owned by 928 INTL in CA. The payload was shopped in my Lart951 on Rennlist.

shop'd or hop'd step away from the car.

Insanely fast DD with all the posh comfort you could ever want. Good luck keeping rear tires on it though! ;)

I have a buddy who had an 06 or 07 M6....he drove it like a granny and it still ate a set of rears every 12k

something tells me that wet roads and that car might be trouble.

Evening Y'all. My opinion from someone who has a water cooler and an aircooler, there is no car I would trade my SC for. I turned her loose today and just enjoyed everything about the drive.

Rick V 05-23-2014 02:37 PM

Photo redlight camera got my daughter, thing is the Honda is in my name, gee I got a ticket today in the mail for a car I don't drive, at a time I was at work, on a road I don't use. (insert all manner of vulgar language)

Porsche-poor 05-23-2014 02:45 PM

They will insist on you telling them who you loaned the car to.

Noah930 05-23-2014 02:48 PM

Maybe they looked at your avatar?

My BMW X3 had a sticker on the dash warning the tires would last less than 20K. They only lasted 13K. The factory tires were Pirelli reds. The local BMW service writer got a new X3 the same day as I did, her tires also only lasted 13K.

For some reason the rear tires on my 911 wear out way faster than the fronts. I am going to put a new set of rears on next week. The tires have been at my office for months.

RKDinOKC 05-23-2014 03:42 PM

Old Porsche mechanic once told me as the rear of the car squats under power the rear wheels toe out, conversely as the rear lifts under braking they toe in. This scrubs the rear tires, ie. faster wear.

My 951 would porpoise under hard accelerate do to the toe out. The rear tire with the most traction would turn the front end a little, as it turned it would put more weight and traction to the other tire turning it back the other direction. The front of the car would wag left and right, not more than an inch or so in each direction, not enough to put in any steering correction, but it was just enough that i noticed it and asked about it.

When tires leave smoke I found out they also leave tread. Funny how that works out

Morning gents

GH85Carrera 05-23-2014 05:22 PM

The big reason my rears wear out is sliding sideways. It is not from spinning them.
