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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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