Only on the 5BW

They forgot to remove my shipping spacers and yes I was getting a klunk sound when I turned the steering wheel. Oddly it only made the sound when I turned wheels to the right. You have to bend down to ground level then look up into the front springs to see them. It’s easy to miss they are still...

The BW is quieter. Like I said it’s pricey to keep a 911 on service schedule, unless you do all the work yourself and good at it. I suggest you buy a warranty if possible if you get it. Fidelity might offer one if the miles are not too high. Ask to see the service records to make sure it’s up to...

I see the weather channel app is no longer available on my 2025 BW. I had it on my 2022 and liked it. Does anyone still have it?

Any rodents near where you park? They love to chew on soy based wiring looms.

Not normal. Sounds like a baseball card hitting the spokes of a bicycle. Loose heat shield or something. Does it stay constant regardless of the speed or rpm? I’d put the car on stands or a lift, then start poking around with the engine running.

Mine sat for a month and fired right up, no tender used. Not sure but if you lock the car and hear it honk that shuts down more systems that can drain the battery and it’s 7 stories below me, so it’s not talking to the fob. Porsches will go to sleep within a week or so, long as the fob is not...

Note that in the 991.1 year was the first one with electric steering, it’s not that great. Tolerable but not great.

I’ve had both a 4BW and a 991.1 and a 991.2, with 997.1 and 997.2. All manual 4S. Great cars but if something needs fixed or worked on, your gonna pay. All of these 3.8 motors can bore score. The 3.0 turbo motor does not so far. but the maintenance schedule is pricey, every four years plugs...

Who said anything about selling them? Police radar is cheap FM/CW waveform or simple unmodulated pulsed, waveform. It’s not frequency hopping or phase coded. Plus you don’t stand right in front of the horn antenna, and it’s in the front grill and/or rear bumper under the skin. So no worries...

Police radar is really crude, easy to jam with wideband noise. Noise diode, band pass filter, amplifier, some cabling and antenna, front and rear. Triggered by the alarm from your radar detector.

Took it out today, it’s 52 or so. I smashed up a S4 once by driving it on performance tires in the winter once. So I don’t take the BW out till is 45 and sunny. No way I’d take it out in sub 40 weather. It had been sitting for three weeks now. But it fired right up. It’s been an actual mid...

too cold here for a drive today.....only 1200 miles since bought new in November.

I just make sure they are knocked out before they go in the trunk for disposal.

The board of directors of the corporations decided that they could make more profits by moving manufacturing overseas. Or to Mexico. Labor is cheaper and lax environmental rules.

True, But what about the raw materials? So yes, Toyota has engine and tranny plants and final assembly plants in the US, but where do they source the raw materials to cast an engine block? A tranny housing? gears? I mean even the carpet is probably made someplace else like the far east or...

I’m curious on that, as most cars use parts from all North America or Europe too. So even if final assembly is Michigan, will the tariffs still apply? Will it be on assembled vehicles or be on the parts too? In some cases parts moves across borders multiple times before final assembly, will they...

The debt ceiling is looming. During the campaign Trump told his minions not to raise it, to default. Then just last week during the CR, he wanted it extended. Sooooo let’s default. Anyhow, his minions will be in DC soon, and because I look like a bland above middle aged white guy, tourists ask...

I agree. He lives in a flat area, takes the same stupid on ramp onto a boring road on every test drive then raves every car he tests is the best thing ever.
