If it's Strong's Porsche and you've been a regular customer over the years, I'd take it back and point it out. It's an easy fix, usually not much more than $100. Then in the future, take all the stuff you DON'T want messed up to Wheel Werks on 3900 S. Mike and his guys have never really done me wrong, and when they did split a sidewall on a couple year old run flat, they replaced it with an exact tire that was in slightly better shape than mine, without me asking. Not their fault, those tires can split when mounting and removing, especially when they're low profile, but they took care of it.Quote:

Happened to be at the Porsche dealership in NH today. New Panamera Turbo for $172K? I had no idea these cars were going for that much.
No problemoQuote:

Id put MAYBE 20-30k over MSRP in one.Quote:

I do scoop a good deal from there every once and again.
Tesla Roadster
0-60 1.9
1/4 Mile 8.8
250 mph
620 mile range
$200k base

Tell Timberridge it’s safe to come back in here.
I drove a Tesla P90D last year and felt the sub 3 sec 0-60, I just can't imagine accelerating faster than that. It just seems to defy all notions of how fast a car can go.
As for the latest Singer, I can't even look at it. I want a 911 so badly and the Singer is equivalent of looking at super model when you can't even get a female to talk to you.
I'd outfit mine exactly like that silver one. (maybe different HREs)
Sick things to do with spare engines

The thing they say about the Teslas is that the acceleration is totally linear. So if those numbers are true, it is one solid pull from 0 to 250 mph. Like being on a rocket launch. The g-force must be incredible.Quote:

It's very similar to what the 918 did in 2015 but for a fifth of the price. Actually a tenth if you consider the appreciation of 918.Quote:

Porsche is right on the heels of Tesla.

I get your meaning. And myself, I'm fine with 1/3 of the acceleration if I can do so slipping through the gearbox of a non-chipped manual bolted on to a frame with a finely tuned suspension.Quote:

But he named his cars after one of the most enigmatic physicists of his time, so who really knows what the future holds for his cars? I don't really think he envisions them for the road, but rather the sky.
Aston has shit the bed.
Ill keep my 7 speed dog leg Vantage with a NA V12.
This is a Mercedes.

V8

Probably one of the smarter car buys right now. Whole lot of car for 180k too (165k would buy it). https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/d...9353/overview/
Basically the same price as a 911 Turbo Coupe. This Vantage has a 7 speed dog leg manual, NA V12 with more power and limited to 100 units for 2017. Last of the true Astons.

That is one gorgeous car! A true driver's car....not outlandish like their upcoming hypercar.
Hypercars are supposed to be outlandish.
