He clearly has a lightbulb for a skull, like our friend from The Wolverine.

Dude is the real deal with kickboxing, it seems. Being mildly unhinged + actual facepunch skills = possible problems for others.

I present the 2016 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
570 HP
590 lb ft
Twin Turbo 4.8L V8
0 - 60 in 3.8 seconds (official)
176 MPH top end (official)

The SVR is bad ass, and sounds the business, for sure, but this is the reigning champ of how to make a tall, heavy race car. The crap these things can pull on a track is mental.

That truck came out of our sister store in Knoxville, TN! We just got ours in Chattanooga, TN - it’s black over black, and it’s BAAAAAAAAAAD.

Yep - at that speed, the tires go beyond the 6lb buffer of the TPMS system. It’s normal, from what the engineers told me.

The TPMS light comes on when you shoot past that 6lb buffer that it has built in. When that speed is being done, those things get hot, and they build pressure. The light came on for me on Road Atlanta, and everything was fine.

They've been flashing back to his childhood with his dad since episode 2, IIRC.

Heritage is a strong thing, and 50 years is nothing to scoff at.

918 owners only get first dibs on one car per year.

Wrong. 918 Buyers get FIRST DIBS on ANYTHING they want for 10 years, no limit throughout the year. They only get ONE special order per car per 918 they ordered, though, so they only get special treatment on ONE GT4, ONE RS, etc.

You guys get your cars before everyone

We'll keep the 7-speed - it'll just be the PDK.

I predict that the GT4 Cayman Manual is the last gasp of the manual in our cars.

The PDK is better in every way, and none of the other manufacturers bother with manuals anymore.

And even given the choice, 99% of our buyers CHOOSE the PDK.

You watch.

The prices on the amazing promotional stuff from Porsche that I get just makes me sick.

To be clear, Porsche absolutely forbids you from selling it, and yet, there they are, online for the world to 'buy it now'.

Take it to CarMax.

They'll write you a check. Of course, you lose your trade tax credit, but they'll tell you exactly what the used market is on that car, as they are nationwide.

If you'd prefer to deal with test pilots, sell it yourself, but make sure you make enough to justify losing the trade credit.

We'd love - LOVE - it if customers would simply pay MSRP, like Scion, or Saturn, or Tesla.

But, alas, everyone is under the impression that car dealers don't deserve any profit whatsoever.

When was the last time you bargained for a toaster at Target? Or a MacBook Pro at the Apple store? Why didn't you? Why do THEY get

Well, considering the drive quality, I'd say that's as good a reason as any to buy a Tesla.

And, BTW, Tesla is laughing all the way to the bank with all the profits that everyone can't wait to pay them. I WISH we had the kind of markup and profit guaranteed that they do. WISH.

I'll be honest with you - in my work (selling Porsches), I assume that nearly EVERY broker call that I get is an exporter trying to scam a car off of us. It's happened too often for us to be very receptive to broker calls. Same for the Land Rover brand.

It just sounds too shady, especially with all of the resources

I miss my Vic Police Interceptor P71 all the damn time - what a terrific car.

I might look for one of these in a few years.

I, too, went to college in Kalamazoo. Oberon is great, and was great when it was Solsun, too.

Now playing

This is my go-to method, especially for sirloin and ribeye, and it is INSANE. Rare, all the way through. Get your seasoning right, and it's the best.

The part that is $50K less than $200K.

It's all relative. Stop thinking with your wallet - start thinking with their wallet.

We currently share a campus with this brand here, and while these monster school busses are hideous to behold, at least they aren't BORING, like so many vehicles today.

That said, jesus they are bad. They're powerful, and fast for the tonnage, but the interior feels cheaper than cheap, and they list like a sinking
