18000km, stock 2020, PPF rockers and rear sections, drive everywhere ( 1 or 2 gravel roads done carefully) no stone chips.

The new OpenAI ChatGPT works on the question based platform. Plug in a decent question and it will spit out a well written response. ( I’m sure lots of kids have been leveraging it for papers) I just put in the question “ What are the advantages of putting clear protective film on a car” it...

That’s exactly why I walked away from Porsche and ended up with the C8! I am so happy Porsche were being jerks!!

Wow! That really sucks. I have not had any interaction like that.

30 years ago I got advice from a Peel region officer friend of mine on how to interact when stopped. He told me that they are lied to and told silly stories all day long, or people argue everything. He told me the best strategy is to just be polite, upfront, open and truthful. I have used that...

I’ve been “front plate free” on all my cars since moving to Ontario in 1993, Approx24 cars in all. Been stopped 5 times but only once I got the 110$ fine. I just tell the officer that I hate the look of a front plate but happy to get the ticket in exchange for my decision, and see what happens.

I had PPF put on: all the forward looking areas, lowers parts of the doors, behind the rear wheels, gas cap, blades, door scuff area. All of the high use areas have been valuable, no rock saves yet. The guy was amazing, approx. 3500$. you can buy the pre-cut kits yourself and apply, if you...

If you are 100% certain you will never want to track it, you may have your answer. I chose a non -Z51 for many of the same reasons ( and I have full race car). But since I did opt for the NPP, the additional cost for the Z51 would have been minimal, and I now want to lower it a bit and I’ll need...

It’s great to see a similar garage, I have Porsche and open wheel racing posters up, and my top bunk car was the first non-200$ car I bought, 27 years ago..

Also, the prices have increased since 2019. I built an equivalent 2023 on the website and works out to be approx. 8-10k more than I paid. ( including dealer gouging at delivery). I have a simple 1LT HTC.

I wonder if they would ship the car to another market? There seems to be ridiculous markups in Europe. But it could south and potentially still profitabl

2000 freight, 599 dealer admin/doc fee, 399 etching. i got the EPP from another dealer for cost +500$ = 2400$. I knew I was being taken, but they would not budge. Ottawa sucks for buying cars… and other stuff..

Uber it..

I watched it be unloaded off the transport truck, unwrapped the plastic myself and drove it for the PDI with the tech ( a friend of a friend). They never drove it.

The PS4 all seasons are remarkably good near or below freezing. I clocked my best 0-60 of 2.8 (indicated) on a 1 degree November day in 2021. It snowed an hour later.
