Sport mode on summer tires in winter? Yikes

I read it differently. If the key is close enough to talk to the car, then even if the key is stationary, and sleeping, it still might be talking to the car but at a lower message rate. In fact the car has to exchange info with the fob to know the key is indeed in sleep mode. If I was still...

Get a faraday cage for the key Fobs

If you leave the hood and trunk popped open while in the garage for periods of time, the car won’t go to sleep and the sensors for them will be triggered and draw the battery down even faster.

The last manual 911 turbo S was the 996.2 generation. A manual 997.2 Turbo is very rare. They do exist but command big money. Occasionally a 996 Turbo S manual does pop up for sale

well Ozzy did die...but I bet Sharon authorizes a tribute band.

I’m all for US LNG being sent to Europe as that makes sure my 8 NG wells in WV make me lots of money, with me not having to do anything.

You should go to V mode on each one. Use the same exact settings on both cars, and test drive them. Set each of the adjustable control sliders on the screen to the same setting on each car. It’s got a huge amount of adjustments and many many possible settings. Each slider control in V mode has...

I think moving them is fine.....but not going highway speeds in real cold weather. It might not blow out or tear, but can get damaged that could lead to such an event.

I got a cpo 2020 C4S, as I really like the AWD feel of a 911 with it. I was missing the feel of a true sports car while on the backroads. I’m fine with the PDK as there is no way in hell anyone can manually shift that fast and smooth. I bought an extra year of bumper to bumper coverage too. So...

Well when I was working a deal to trade my 4 BW for a 911, they always asked me if it had PDR. If not they said it would cut 2 to 3k off the value.

I traded my 4BW manual to Porsche of Pittsburgh if you want a 2025 model with low miles and first service done and rear differential fluid changed too. It’s listed for 67.5k, they might go lower. Not a scratch or ding on it. I kept is clean and treated the leather inside it once a month.

Not normal. Looks like the caliper pistons are not retracting once you let the brakes off. You could squirt some BrakeClean into it. Could be some crud built up on the piston dust seals. But since it’s under warranty take it in

with a Pioneer cassette deck and Jensen Tri-axial speakers......

Check for soot on your exhaust tailpipes. My Shelby did not make any actual smoke but it seems the piston rings never seated and oil was in the combustion chamber and got burned up and turned into soot. I think Ford lost lots of money on it, as lots of people had engines replaced. But the second...
