Huh, I thought this was the 10 year old car thread, and ignored it.Quote:

Hahaha it's so annoying!! New pirelli (yuck) comes in ($280) tomorrow.Quote:

That's what I was thinking.. Like how the fuck it happened..how funny it had the washer..and HAD the washer made it more functional? I mean I tore this car up back roads..I mean going 100 down the road, drifting it, and racing a Pontiac g6, who could only go straight and couldn't keep up on turns.. Did great! Had the tpms on all times. Pressure was fine. Had a compressor in the back as needed..wasn't.. So heyQuote:

Very old 911s sure. But I love the boxster. That's my thing. I could've afforded a 991 sure, but there's no desire there! Believe itQuote:

20k mile new body Boxsters are actually in the mid 30s.

I'm thinking of getting one now. 340xi, Golf R or JCW Clubman. The only 3 MT/AWD worth a damn.Quote:

Also:
Did the previous owner do the armrest mod? IOW, does the armrest work?
Does it have the spare tire mod, so the Fender bass fits inside?
Has the soundaktor been removed?
Get to know http://forums.vwvortex.com/forumdisp...357-Golf-VII-R
Gave that car a hard look, but couldn't even test drive a sissy-matic.Quote:

The armrest mod is done - flips up from the front to a 90 degree angle. If you didn't know it was an issue, you'd never know it had been any different. Has the standard sound system, not the Fender. Stereo sounds great - I'm 40 - I don't need a dedicated subwoofer. Haven't removed the soundaktor - just roll in individual mode with it turned off. Will not make any changes until I'm committed to the car, and then the change will likely be an AWE SP exhaust.Quote:

Don't know where you're located... The other one I was looking at was in Flagstaff. Those were the only two within 750 miles of Denver. Half tempted to sell this one here and go buy another one.
This one looks promising:

I've driven AMG E55 C43 S63 and CL63. I prefer the standard chassis in all for bumpy American roads and speed limits. If you want a powerful Mercedes SUV try an ML550.
Got a slick deal..bells and whistles. Including front hood and bumper bra for 41k, 27k milesQuote:

A nice preventaive thing is to get 3M or similar protectant on front bumper + hood. It can make a big difference after a few years and eliminate the need for a respray.
$500 off! I bet the manager never did anything like that before!Quote:
