New Porsche in the Garage

[lessthanjakejohn]

So my parents decided to buy a new Carrera GT

NOT

But we did pickup a nice '01 Boxster. I dont really know why we bought it, but we did...

Backwheel

I wish I had a picture of that garage spot yesterday... I cleaned out all kinds of **** and ****...

31,xxx Miles, Seal Grey, Grey leather interior. 5-speed :ylsuper (its *for* my mother, so I'm kind of surprised, but very happy there)

I can't wait to drive it I think maybe this weekend I wil be able to. We drove home from Arlington, other than the problem below, it rides real nice.

Already we have a problem though, at low-medium speeds the front suspension whines / rubs when turning. I'm not really sure what the deal is, but the owner of the dealership we bought it from is brining someone over tonight to figure it out. Nothing major, but annoying that we have a problem.

Did you know the Recommended oil change interval for this car is 15,000 Miles?? That means that this car may have only had 3 oil changes in its life. Scary...

uhh,

31,000 divided by 15,000 is not 3

edit- sweet car btw

[lessthanjakejohn]

uhh,

31,000 divided by 15,000 is not 3

You think?

[spitz7985]

why'd you edit it?

[lessthanjakejohn]

If I could PM you, I would, but ...

My post was agaisnt forum rules... thats why.

Heres why I say three times:

1. In early life it may have been changed, and oil was certainly added2. 15k3. 30k4. THe dealer changed it at 32k

:o Ya, it has about 33k instead of 31k

[spitz7985]

[UncleBen]

Definately a pretty decent addition to most garages indeed. Congrats on the purchase, er, well congrats that you get to live with one....er...

[SmithSR]

I admit, if my parents bought one of those, I'd post pics too. Looks real good!

[Mr1der]

if my parents bought one id ask them where they are hiding the money !! then id ask them to take a nice long look cause they arent goin to be seeing me or it for at least a week while i check it out for them .

Very cool, LTJJ. Nice looking ride. Nothing better than borrowing dad's sports car and informing him you noticed a slightly shimmy at 110 mph... in 3rd Gear.

[Mr1der]

110 in third rocks...

haha, stupid "AMG" Mercedes....I showed him and his APC muffler...

this reminds me that I need a 140mph speedo...

I almost fell outta my chair when I read the Carrera GT thing. Congrats on the Boxster though...

[dr!ft]

Nice car man! Now go pick up some chicks...

[lessthanjakejohn]

The dealership came on Saturday and picked up the Boxster to get it repaired. They left a Mercedes E320 behind. Should have the Boxster by Monday or Tuesday, I hope.

Here are some pics:

Get a picture of you burning the tires to pieces in the Benz and send it in to SCC. I guarantee you will get printed

[lessthanjakejohn]

lmao Good Idea...

Huge *** burn out, almost like I want to throw it away after I'm finished...

[UncleBen]

Exactly. Pour a little oil over the tires to so they spin niiiiice and easy, then hold that pedal to the floor and get someone to start snappin pics!!!!
