QuoteJoanne in OC That's a thought to do for a vacation in a few years. Am looking forward to seeing some pics and hear of the experiences. Joanne The trip was arranged by FastLane Travel who has been doing this for around 37 years. We flew to Stuttgart and after a great meal and some good beer and wine, and a good night's sleep, we went to the Porsche Museum and the Porsche factory. The Musby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteGary in SoFL So Boxsters, Caymans, 991's and Panameras only, plus cabs of course. Why would anyone take anything but a 991? The trip cost is all inclusive except for airfare, extra rental mileage and incidentals, I believe. Did you go to the Porsche factory, and how was the weather? Actually, you can get a Turbo, a GT3 or even a Lamborghini - if you are willing to pay the extra freight.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
I understnd that there are no Porsche manuals available for rent - at least through AVIS which handles the reantal aspect of the factory owned Porsches.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
Mine is poor lane discipline - especially after my recent trip to Europe where folks stay in the right lane unless passing. While driving at 150 mph, you still have to worry about a guy in a Fiat 500 misjudging your speed and trying to pass a truck in front of you - but generally they signal to warn you. Of course, in Italy, it was not quite as good - but still infinitely better than the U.S.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
Peter is still at it - going on 37 or 38 years I think. He took a lot of videos and stills during this trip - hope to get a copy of many of them.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteGary in SoFL QuoteLawdevil & CURVN8R QuoteTino Are you doing a PorscheFest tour? We are on a Fastlane Tuscany Porsche Fest. Really a fantastic vacation! For $30,000/2people/10days....it should be! Actually a little cheaper than that - but I sure as hell don't plan on leaving it to my heirs!by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteTino Are you doing a PorscheFest tour? We are on a Fastlane Tuscany Porsche Fest. Really a fantastic vacation!by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
Really a fantastic car. We have been doing everything with it from 150+ mph autobahn runs to twisting mountain passes. having said that, I wouldn't trade my 981s for it. I honestly think the 981s is just as quick and it's equal in real world handling. The back seat is handy for stashing stuff such as cameras etc,but the extra trunk on the 981 is nice for extra concealed luggage. It's your cby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
Maybe not. My 981 is an early 2013 and that sensor (if that is what it is) is also "around the corner" facing the steering column.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum

If you have any luck with the remote top opening, a lot of people would love to know. There is a company now that markets a module you can install that will give that capability. I believe there was even a group buy for it over on P9.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
As to the key - my understanding is that they cannot program remote opening in the USA. All the rest of the world has it but , apparently because of some damn lawyers, they won't do it in the USA. As to the"beep, beep", they should be able to do that in a few minutes. My early 2013 doesn't have email notification feature, but it sounds like your dealer doesn't know what it is doing. Is it a vby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteGuenter in Ontario QuotePedro (Weston, FL) ... not the full Manual, but... Happy Boxstering, Pedro There is a comprehensive list of everything in the manual (as far as I can tell) if you go to List All How-To Topics at the bottom of the page you have, Pedro. The manual starts on this page and takes you though one page at a time: As far as I could see, it covers everything that's in theby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum

This is not really electric power steering assist (as in the 981). Rather , it is still a hydraulic assist with the only difference being the hydraulic pump is electric rather than mechanical.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteMikenOH We paid for our Porsche last fall with a personal check (and trade) and there was no issue with the dealer although we had done business with them in the past. Conversely, we recently picked up a RAV4 , paid for it with a personal check +trade, and the dealer insisted we fill out a credit app even though this was going to be a cash deal. We protested, got a spiel on the new regsby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
That is odd. My dealer let me write a check for the entire purchase price.by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
Gorgeous car! I noted that you had "model delete" - but it appears they deleted the "Porsche" letters on the rear deck as well. I did not know that was an option. ENJOY!by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
When I was in the USAF many years ago, I was an autopilot specialist. I still bet an F111 or F106 autopilot can outfly you!by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
QuoteSteveJ (2010 987 base, manual trans) Leasing a Porsche robs a person of one of the more enjoyable aspects of ownership. PCA requires that you be a Porsche owner for membership. Leasing is regarded as long term rental. I'm a new Porsche owner, but my wife and I have already enjoyed a drive among Wisconsin's curvy back roads with the local Porsche club (which requires PCA membership).

Maybe - but I would be skeptical of the claims for paint "sealant". It may indeed outlast wax but I doubt seriously it will last two years with moderate use of the car. You can buy several paint sealants on line and about 6 months is all they claim. I certainly would not pay $850 for someone to apply it but YMMV. Maybe this guy has come up with the ultimate sealant - but it sounds like snakeby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum

Just a note - if it is a brand new install, you may see some small bubbles udner the film. This is normal and will disappear in a few days as the film "cures".by Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
I have the full hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors, door handle recesses and door edges with Xpel. I think Gman will testify that it is almost undetectable unless you get very close. Assuming you go with a good product (such as Xpel or 3M), the most important consideration is the installer. The guy who did mine also did it for the Jaguar, Lexus, Rolls Royce and Range Rover. ALso, it is my understby Lawdevil & CURVN8R - Main Forum
