I mean I think the superveloce is extremely pretty, especially the Alpine edition That looks like some special edition Brutale and is kind of ugly to me I’d also love an older F4, Senna edition is amazing.

MV Agusta is the Maserati of bikes; X for rich but non-X peoples. Their only meaningful measure might as well be how much you paid for it. Categorically equivalent to Beats headphones.

Waking up in the middle of the night, running to the garage and seeing the Boxster gone! Remembering it is at a shop having the roof replaced… but what if they gently caress it up or they sell it to out of town arms dealers and disappear?!?

Today has been fun. Boxster was at an upholstery place to get the top done as it was old and worn out. Expected loving around when dealing with anywhere to do with cars and they order the wrong color top so it was sitting around for a bit. Last night the place goes up in flames, building is a total loss. Only things that were saved were a boat… and my car. Everything else there is gone. Now I the guy is just apologizing over and over about the delay and he won’t know when he can do it. I just tell him to a) look after himself b) hen you have the top and time just come to my home and do it since all your are doing is replacing the top. Like dude it is just a car and not even a practical one I need daily just put your life back together before worrying about it.

Wheel help? My Boxster tires/wheels are the following: 205/55ZR17 91Y 235/50ZR17 96Y 7Jx17 ET55 8.5Jx17 ET40 Someone local is selling wheels w/ racing tires from a 911. All he knows is they are 5x130 bolt pattern (like mine), and from what I can glean from the pictures of the tires they are: 205/30/zr18 245/40/zr18 I know absolutely NOTHING about wheels - what do I need to know from him to know if these will fit with a minimum of adjustments?

pipebomb posted:Wheel help? Fronts are overall 12% smaller in diameter, rears are 5.5% smaller in diameter. I'd go with a 5.5% difference, knowing that the new wheels would cause the speedo to read lower than actual speed, but that 12% is a bit on the "big difference" side. That's not taking into account the difference in offset (may be fine, didn't run it through a calculator) Edit: can't tell offset parameters without the ET of the wheels you're looking at (that info should be cast on the wheels). meatpimp fucked around with this message at 21:23 on May 12, 2022 |

more info from the seller: "These are innsbruck victor. rear are 18x11. Front are 18 x8.1" Presumably he meant front are 18x8? which would make the rear these, guessing the 36mm based on the tire size? https://www.fitmentindustries.com/b...model=Innsbruck and the front would be https://www.fitmentindustries.com/b...model=Innsbruck ? pipebomb fucked around with this message at 21:34 on May 12, 2022 |

I guess my question is: will these fit and is it worth the trouble to get all 4 wheels/tires for $400?

pipebomb posted:I guess my question is: will these fit and is it worth the trouble to get all 4 wheels/tires for $400? With 18x11 ET36, you'd have 28mm less clearance in the rear between the tire and the inside structure, and the outside of the wheel will stick out an inch further than what you have now. Like I said, it depends on how inset your wheels are now, and what the specs of the front are. Edit: If the fronts are 18x8 (I'm concerned about where the "8.1" came from), the front would have 3mm less inside clearance, which I wouldn't worry about, and the wheels would stick out an additional 23mm. meatpimp fucked around with this message at 22:50 on May 12, 2022 |

Hypothetically, do we prefer a GT4 RS in Racing Green Metallic, like here: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/aston-martin-racing-green-porsche-911-gt3-rs-looks-astonishing-136311.html or one in Shark Blue?

RGM and that's knowing I'm biased towards sapphire blue so you'd think I'd be in the shark blue camp.

Bajaha posted:RGM and that's knowing I'm biased towards sapphire blue so you'd think I'd be in the shark blue camp. Yeah, I can't decide between the greens. Racing Green vs British Racing vs Jet Green are all possibilities depending on my mood that day. On the other hand, shark blue is easy and cheaper. On the other hand, my wife likes the darker greens.

I wonder how Porsche would feel about someone asking for PTS in Mazda’s soul red, objectively the best color.

My next car will almost certainly been green. Most of my cars have been blue and I'm getting a little tried of it. Pr0kjayhawk posted:I wonder how Porsche would feel about someone asking for PTS in Mazda’s soul red, objectively the best color. Bet it would look good. I'm personally not a fan though. My wife's CX5 is that color and I low key hate the car.

I think it's going to be a coin flip at the end of the day. Racing Green is the frontrunner at the moment, especially since I've been looking at green cars for years now. Just don't want to make a mistake/get something that looks awful. edit: And of course, I actually have to have my order turn in to an allocation.

Go with Green, if you decide you dislike it just get another one in a few years! /ducks I did get to take the Boxster out of the garage this weekend with a few breaks in the PDX weather, I am still so happy I got this thing. The new stereo makes it even more enjoyable with the top down.
