Glen--I see you stuck your toe in the PARF cesspool today. Probably should get a shot of antibiotic for that.

Yep, that place is ........

Indescribable. It is just like the Monty Python skit the Argument Clinic. Endless no you didn't, yes I did. I am real glad they have their own forum.

[Oh Haha]

yep.

Okay he is going to email me a signed, notarized sales agreement this evening. In the morning I am going to my bank and wiring him the monies and then making arrangements for the pickup. When he sees he has the monies he is going to fedex me the title.

Also, mechanic agreed to take the current Cayenne S in trade for the work. He is giving the car to his second oldest son that will be getting his learners permit next week.

Besides getting a Cayenne with the cornering lights for much less than I thought, don't even have to worry about selling the current one. Putting the 22in wheels on the Turbo. Not giving $2500 in wheels away!

[Oh Haha]

Sounds like a pretty good deal Richard.

[RKDinOKC]

The seller took delivery on a Audi Q today. It came from Texas. He told the car hauler dude about this car and he said he would bring it to me for $600 and would be in CA the next 4 or 5 days so could bring it back pretty quick!

If you liked your normally aspirated Pepper...you will love the turbo. That one seems to be very similarly equipped to mine. Should have better brakes too.

[RKDinOKC]

Thanks, I hope so. Think I should be able to tell some soft of difference between 340 hp and 450 hp. But really pumped about the cornering lights so I can see going around right hand turns at night.

[Oh Haha]

All you wanted was cornering lights?

I could have saved you a ton of $$$$.

Tape some LED flashlights to the fenders.













I know, that was pretty lame.

The difference is amazing. I have a lightweight aluminum car trailer. Pulling that with my old 911 on it (probably just over 3000 lbs)...My Pepper is still faster than most cars. The lights are great too. Gas mileage...not so good. Nav system sucks.

[RKDinOKC]

Nav would be same as in my CS is now. It's $350 to get 2013 maps for it from SunCoast. Thinking of putting a Dynavin in to bring it up-to-date with bluetooth for phone. Or maybe something with carplay but understand it's $300 for the Most adapter.

Think to drag the 928 somewhere would want something enclosed. And the 928 is not anywhere near what anyone would call light weight anyway at 3400lbs by itself.

I updated the maps...and it still sucked. The iphone is so much better.

[porsche4life]

Howdy guys... Still alive, not flooded out, but hating our current humidity from the rains! Fall is getting closer in the desert!

[RKDinOKC]

Updating maps not helping is good info. Will focus on replacing head unit with something that has the other features like bluetooth and airplay. When traveling I typically stick my iphone to the windshield and use it for nav because receiving phone calls will pause music etc while taking calls. The airplay thing would be really nice if siri works. However, noticed lately siri can't understand $hit.

Sorry Sidney, didn't know it rained in the desert unless it was some kind of gully washer causing flash floods.

[porsche4life]

It's monsoon season so we get most of our 10" of rain for the year in these few weeks, and this week we had a tropical storm move up from the sea or Cortez. Our part of town is safe, other parts of the city have been getting some flooding.

[RKDinOKC]

Starting to get excited



I've got colored center caps for the wheels though. Will give it that little extra that pushes it over the top.

This will be the 4th vehicle I've bought over the internets without physically touching before buying.

[RKDinOKC]

When the mechanic looked at my S he thought the back seat was faded and water damaged. It was just Pepper dirt and wipes right off lol. His wife and both his sons will all have Cayennes.

He is the one recommending the Dynavin stereo says the Sony he put in his wife's he had to pay $300 extra to get the adapter the lets it talk the the Most bus. Also says he thinks the Dynavin looks just like stock and the Sony doesn't, but the Sony works just fine.

OK, mini-vent:

It's back-to-school time. My kids are little: in elementary school. My daughter wants to go back-to-school shopping with Mrs. Noah tomorrow. On her list, my daughter mentioned a new backpack. (Here's where I, ahem, disagreed.) She's got 2 backpacks she can use. But she's spurred by a BFF that is now on her 3rd backpack of this back-to-school time of year.

Are you fookin' kidding me? First was ordered from Japan and is on backorder. 2nd was ordered from China and arrived, but deemed to be too small for American-sized notebooks. So now the kid's on her 3rd of the season.

I told my kids this is ridiculous. I got through all of HS, college, and grad school with 2 backpacks. I still remember them. I still have the one I bought sophomore year in college. It got me through 3 years of college and 2 years of grad school classes, as well as a motorbike crash and bicycle crash where I went sliding on asphalt on it. And it still works fine.

I told my kids: you use your backpack until it breaks. Then you sew it back together. If you don't know how to sew, you teach yourself. And then, when your repair fails, then you can get a new backpack.

Now get off my fooking lawn!

[RKDinOKC]

You had a backpack? What a waste of money.

Don't remember carrying and books or hardly anything back and forth to school in elementary. And you kept everthing in your desk and had the same classroom all day, week, month, semester, grade.

Carried a satchel for books etc. in Jr high. Yep, a nerdy lookin weirdo. Made life carrying a saxophone and books tolerable riding the bus though. And didn't get any guff as swing them they became formidable weapons.

Just carried the stack of stuff plus my sax when in HS. Got too cool for the satchel lol. And it was getting pretty worn out after two years. Quickly made friends with upper classmen and got to ride around in their cars so didn't have to lug the stuff walking just under a mile to school.

In College kept up with the stack under the arm thing and that included riding my bike across campus. My 10 speed bike was the best. The derailleur was messed up and from low gear would shift back to the middle gear as you rode. However it shifted at just the right speed that you shifted to first, started riding and it shifted like an automatic transmission going to the next gear at the right time. Perfect for riding with no hands carrying my books and notebooks to class.

Honestly back then, if you put books in a backpack the weight would pull the zipper open and everything would fall out. They weren't really designed for books back then. When they first started working to carry books they were called book bags not back packs.

I gripe about waking up early, it's now just after 4:30 am here, but at least I don't have insomnia.

It's kind of interesting...
Lately I've been falling asleep early in the evening, waking for an hour or two in the middle of the night, going back to sleep and waking again at sparrow fart times. Read somewhere that schedule including the waking for a period in the middle of the nite was very common before electric lights. Wonder if it is because I am not using the lights in my hose much any more. It very much gets light and dark in my house with the sun, except the close proximity of where I am doing whatever it is I am doing.
