Re: Joanne. How's your brake dust?

It should be better by now.

I now have 5K miles on the CURVEN8R 2. Here's what the wheels look like after 300 miles of driving.

I'm just a little over 2K, wheels are still really dirty. I feel like all I'm doing is cleaning them ..... I was planning to wash it tonight so I can drive to watch the UCLA game tomorrow evening. If I remember, I'll take a picture.

I realized that I'm not taking very many pictures. I get in the car and go and enjoy myself that I forget about the pics.

I imagine one uses the brakes more in OC California.

yes, traffic can be pretty bad with lots of break usage. Fortunately, I drive 18 miles to work against the heavy traffic. I just have some stop and go for about a mile. It's tolerable, but liked it better when I could just ride my bike to work.

I miss the days when the Boxster group would do drives every other week. Now that it's "not summer" PCA doesn't do the drives like in the summer. I guess they don't like to drive when it's 72 degrees outside

How do you survive in 72 degree weather in winter? Good thing you got those bun warmers in your new car, Joanne.

That's why I want a 918.

As everyone knows with Guenter it is kinda like removing your shoes before entering the house, no car enters his garage with brake dust. CURVEN8R forgot that once, now there is a CURVEN8R2

I'm sure glad I met Guenter at BRBS ..... You guys really "pick" on him. With all the comments I would have thought Guenter was a stodgy ole' man with no sense of humor and snooty and mean. But, I know otherwise

Must be a different Guenter

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

Only problem is that he lives so far away from me and can't physically help me with my car

Just wait until BRBS

Philosophical advise from G-man - sure; actual physical, hands dirty, help - not a chance!

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

Was it the clean wheels that convinced you?

Well, one does have to keep up one's standards. It's not just on entering the house that one removes one's shoes. My salesman got to know me rather well as you can see when he was going the over the delivery info with me.

Want to bet that G-man is explaining things to the salesman, rather than the other way around.

"A mile of highway will take you one mile. A mile of runway will take you anywhere."

Salesman: "Oh, no, you never have to rev this engine over 3500 rpm!"

I told it if it continued to get black dust on my wheels, I was going to sell it to Guenter.... ;-)

What if it continues, then Guenter will reject my car because of the PDK and then she'll feel rejected and upset

Where did you ever get the idea I'd reject a car because it had PDK?
