Just a couple of pollen-covered daily drivers at the commuter lot.

I don't think I have the stomach to buy one. Maintenance issues on an out of warranty Porsche EV... Leasing EVs as a daily to use and abuse is where it's at. Still get the full tax credit and it's under warranty the whole time. Hand the keys back and walk away. Think it was @Jameson's...

Mine looks the same. I plan to ask the dealer about it at my next oil change.

A more affordable Taycan Cross Turismo? Sign me up.

That's fair, but JLR put that 5.0 liter into basically everything they made for a decade and it's got the ubiquitous ZF 8 speed. Anecdotally they're reasonably stout at least on the powertrain side w/ normal maintenance.

A nicely depreciated Jaguar FType R with that crazy V8 is well within range.

Those are the SR11 sintered pads, right?

Which adapter/head are you using? There's a bunch of options.

I've found PTM sport to be a bit of a "party" mode, especially at low speeds. Easy to throw the car in and sit in a little low angle, easily controlled slide. Works best in the wet, obviously. Otherwise the limits on the car are mostly too high to access on a public road.

Think I might wind up at the Watkins Glen event, for any of the Northeast guys.

The actual GM all weather liners are pretty solid. Mine were on my window sticker and I actually like them. The rest of that... not so much.

The best part of this is that when he drives away he drives into the opposite lane, runs a stop sign, and almost t-bones somebody.

Same here. Really weird.

Seconding this. Get a certified check from your bank and fly with it unless you're 100% certain on the wires.

Just clean them, it comes right off. I waited over a year of daily driving to do mine and now they look great. I used the Griots 3 in 1 spray and a microfiber. Took all of 5 minutes.
