Don’t change anything based on what others do - you do you. Seems like a reasonable approach that works for you - I used to swap cars every year or so because I liked trying new things and there are a lot of great cars. Now I’ve had my 911 since 2011, my Cayenne since 2016, and plan on keeping...

this seems like a good place to drop this….

It was silly to book a 1000 mile plane trip expressly for the purpose of test driving the car and not scheduling a drive like everyone else. If your schedule cleared up after the event was sold out, the answer is to not take the trip then and find another time somewhere else that would work...

I think their response is spot on and it’s silly to expect more when there are a ton of people waiting on (and scheduling ahead) their test drive for that day. You will probably still get to drive it, but to think you deserve more from them is a little much. And aren’t you hopping on a plane...

That looks so good!

Bears get much better range when going downhill - duh 😜

Didn’t a lot of companies adjust from a pure Just In Time approach to more of a Just In Case model after COVID? It’s my understanding that companies increased inventory of critical parts to avoid downtime in the event of another supply chain disruption. In this example, as weighinggravity...

you shouldn’t be hunting and pecking at all - use the apps like and ABRP, use the navigation system, use the websites - there really is nothing hard about knowing exactly where the chargers are and what condition/availability there is before you ever leave your house. Plus you really need to...

My life is a lot less complicated since going electric - charge at home, zero maintenance, full tank every morning - and I drive a lot. No issues at all on road trips all across Texas, and just got back from a 2700 mile round trip to Sedona with absolutely no problems - in a Tesla. The SC...

Get the Tesla Universal wall charger - it has the NACs connector obviously, but also has the universal adapter integrated into the dock. That’s what I went with and now I can charge whatever car I end up with in the future. It’s only slightly more than the NACS only version, and is still half...

Well, Google owns Waze and is now integrating Waze right into their maps, so…..

Pirellis get loud when they wear - aside from the actual tread life, I would replace when you hate driving your silent car because the tires are so damn loud

My Plaid on 19s is rated for 396 miles. If I drive like a normal person I get around 320. If I drive like I drive, I get around 250-275. I’m happy at 300 as I need to stop way more often than the car anyway.

You were definitely in the tiny minority with your Tesla - in 45k miles I have never had the mobile key not work automatically. I think you can bang on Tesla for a lot of things but their software is top notch and super mature, and just works. Of course, they’ve had quite a head start, but the...

I switched my 911 and Cayenne to Porsche insurance last year since both get driven such low miles - was half the cost of Progressive. I didn’t realize they would insure other brands - thanks for the heads up.
