    PPF Lessons learned

    Amen! I preach full-body wrap for anyone who has a new car (new paint) that wants to keep it new for years. Not only does it protect against flying debris but it always looks great even when touch-ups are done since the clearcoat cannot get scratched. Great peace of mind and zero 'love marks'...

    Taycan re-sale issues

    My flux capacitor works - I travel back to the 1980s every time I drive my DeLorean. (In my mind at least)

    Taycan re-sale issues

    According to Jason Cammisa the Lucid Air AWD is the best handling 4-door sedan he's ever driven.

    Taycan re-sale issues

    OEMs not looking for long product cycles. In today's world they want built-in obsolescence so the consumer buys a new car every few years.

    Taycan no longer - long live Taycan

    Thanks Dave for your contributions! 🍻I too unloaded my Taycan (in 2023) and currently have 3 halo performance sedans in the collection. I enjoy the hunt as much as ownership but most of all I love the stories of the vehicles I procure and the memories I make added to those stories for the next...

    So are 'new' Turbo S Taycans essentially unsalable at present?

    Exactly. YT is full of BS, moronic, low-class people just looking for clicks/views.

    That 2025 facelift

    Not a fan of that front end. Looks like a design change just to change. :confused:

    Screen protector now available on Porsche Store

    Beat me to it. I too have Xpel on the screens and it's perfect and WAY lower $ than Porsche's offering. My installer put it on at no cost when the car got it's PPF treatment.

    Motor Cars of Chicago

    Recently purchased a very rare E39 BMW from CMC. Wasn't aware of another business with a similar name.

    Key fob battery dead after 3 months?

    Key battery drain is a thing if the key is kept within 6 feet of the vehicle. My original fob battery lasted about 1 year. Second fob was only used a couple of times and was still good after ~2 years. (MY2021 4/21 production)

    Why do people want SUVs rather than estate cars?

    I don't want one. I LOVE estates/wagons!

    Windscreen protection film

    Have not heard good things about clearplex but I have STEK and it works well. One thing you must do with it is use silicone wiper blades. OE/pure rubber blades streak the film.

    Leather Steering wheel cracks

    Heads up: race tex/alcantra steering wheels aren't awesome after a while of daily use. Some can clean up with HI-TECH extra foamy but with heavy use they look crappy. Of course one can just use driving gloves every time they drive. ;)

    Transmission noise at 50mph / 80kph?

    Correct. Noise came back for me after ~800 miles after replacement drive unit.

    Extended Warranty - worth it?

    If if your drive unit is faulty like mine was on my 21 RWD you'll be glad you have extended warranty. It's ~$40K to replace. Replaced and first gear noise came back after a short while. I sold the car a couple months ago due to concern of repair costs outside of warranty.

    Taycan owners - how happy with purchase?

    Sold my 21 RWD a couple months ago. 2 years in and with no drive unit issue resolution from PCNA it had to go. My concern was excessive $ in repairs post warranty.
