I've had my STi for over 15 years, I think 5 years ago I replaced its first light bulb!

The new WRX's are fun, watching a shop beat theirs on the track recently for rnd testing. Another shop did some fun body upgrades, paint matching all the plastic that you get with them nowadays. Anyways, you'd be surprised how different yours is from the previous gens! Time will tell! Keep up on maintenance.

It’s a fun car but not one I want to own off warranty. They just replaced the turbo under warranty due to an oil leak. These things are amazing in the snow and handle better than my Porsches ( not the track car).

I have 5000 kms left on the warranty (I’ve put on 155000 kms in 3-1/2 years). Time to sell it.

I’d like to see all terrain tires on a Cayenne but the ones here in town all have road tires only. Would you take your Cayenne off-road, not hardcore wheeling, just maybe take it camping?

I have taken mine off road (mild but inclines in dirt and gravel (with the air shocks, get plenty of clearance. The wide tires (275/40z20) on my turbo are not helpful. I pull a trailer a lot and have pulled some pretty big logs with a chain attached to my trailer hitch. The Continental Extreme Contact DWS all weather tires seem the best combo for the big wheels on the turbo vehicle. They are rated and wear fairly fast, but no worse than similar ones in the category and cost about the same.

Do a google search for Harry Schoen - he's on Instagram, and probably other social media. He has two Cayennes both used off road, mild lifts, all-terrain tires etc. Here is a link to one of his videos.

Here was the progression…

Bought this bambino kart new in 2015 for $2300 (my son at 5 designed the custom livery):



Traded straight across for bike in 2020 after the kart was used for 3 years by both my kids:



Traded the bike plus $500 for this after upgrading my son to a KX85 last weekend…





I think I got a good deal? So far…

As a side note, the bike is a 2002 KX65… it’s 2 years older than the Cayenne. Who knew that a kids race bike would prove to be a better investment than a Porsche back in 2002…

The 955s have a certain charm that has grown on me. Good luck with the new toy.

I'm looking forward to seeing what airplane you'll get when you trade the Cayenne.
