Agreed, this was the first car my wife and I bought together (literally on the day our first child was born).  She absolutely loved it.  The third row got used once or twice a year, but she just loved the optionality of having the row.  

Yes that is true (effect of high temperatures on lift), but that would not be a good hypothesis for what happened here. Tarmac delays that long are almost always issues with the destination airport , not the takeoff airport.

You’re right, I meant open cockpit, not open wheel. The Sheriff’s investigation got released today, he was in a Spec Racer when he crashed.

Agree on the boondoggle (love that term). Technically they will do just enough hours of ‘real’ business hours so that the trip becomes a tax deductible expense.

The dealers aren’t employees of Porsche. If you bought >$100M a year of product from me, I’d pay for a very nice trip for you as well.

There is no way we should be comparing this to a typical company retreat / conference for employees.

So true, I’m pretty sure this is the poster I had when I was 11/12.

Give that guy a thumbs up. I’ve taken my 488 to Home Depot and grocery shopping, usually there is some car fan in the parking lot that gives a nod of appreciation. I also like to park it next to the guy that has his Nissan 350 or maybe a tuned up WRX STI parked way out in the unused part of the lot, as sort of a…

With what these tow companies charge, you think they would make more money robbing people legally vs. stealing catalytic converters.

But deep down, we know it was either a 911 or Corvette, because 70 year old rich white guy.

I too was wondering what that meant.  My underwear has natural fiber panels as well.

An analogy: it’s not top secret that spy satellites exist. It is top secret exactly what their capabilities are and potentially what they record.

I wondered where that oddly specific number came from, it’s 4000 meters , converted back to feet. I couldn’t find documentation on what that ‘rating’ meant in this context, but often there is a safety factor built in , e.g. US submarines are ‘rated’ for X feet, we would take them to a test depth of 1.5X coming out of…

Definitely not joking.  I honestly don’t know how she does it - I’m a decade older and was in pain from just standing for the whole concert, she’s running around dancing and singing for 90% of the time (she had one song she did lying down , and one song she did sitting at a piano).  

Do the math on it - Taylor Swift is probably entertaining more people per gallon than any other travelling band/show.

because race car. This is the steering wheel from the Porsche 963 hypercar.  I agree with others, the real car won’t have a yoke.  

This is true. It will be a lot of drive-line strain, but you could potentially achieve a stationary tank turn four wheel burnout.  

They missed an opportunity here, should have given the special edition the Garage 56 car’s hood paint scheme.

Yeah, I came to say the same thing, 45mm really isn’t that big for a man’s watch.  the Apple Ultra is 49mm and still not that big.

Generally these tank turns won’t work (or won’t work well) on pavement, they require the wheels to be able to slip on the ground
