Landau top or bust.

I daily my manual 4BW in the classic NJ traffic, it's still a joy to use. As you experienced, the breadth of capability on these cars is fantastic - comfortable highway cruiser to back road destroyer in one button.

It's not about best practices - I agree with all of you it probably should be done sooner, but for whatever reason there's no formal policy on the 5BW and regardless of what people did or didn't do, the engine shouldn't be blowing at 5500 miles. Some people treat these cars like museum pieces...

Unless he was driving around with the oil life monitor at 0% it's a bit ridiculous to blame him for the issue. I don't believe there's any specific recommended break in service from GM (unlike other manufacturers who specifically do).

Ze Germans have lost the plot. The outgoing car is seemingly better in every way other than the raw power figures (which are more than offset by the weight gain).

There's not really any way to slide around at low speeds with this much rubber at this power level. Wet roads are better and you can have a ton of fun. Or I guess slap shitty tires on it. Toyota famously put the Prius tires on the first gen 86 to get that result.

Agreed - doesn't look like you're anywhere near creating wheel spin at these revs and that cornering speed.

Freshly detailed.

I might have to find some CT5 tech bronze wheels for my 4... I think it would look amazing.

Rolling over 15k next week pretty close to the 2 year anniversary of getting the car.

Base seats are the killer. Makes the whole interior so much more plain.

Looks like we're getting a documentary about Le Mans.

That's not quite how warranty replacements work, but thank you for your input.

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?
