As somebody who's cars get their last wash the day they leave the dealership, just being near something that clean gives me hive!

 

Love the THING.

 

 

LOL I assure you, the car is plenty dirty now! I've put around 700 miles on it since Friday. 

Wait...does this mean that modern day Porches are just glorified Volkswagens?

Just as a side note...............can you even imagine a car company releasing a vehicle these days called a Thing?  Those were different days. Also it was back when VW was different and interesting.

Beautiful car. Love the looks of a 911. I have 13 Carrera with PDK and the more I drive it the less I miss a clutch pedal. My son has a 14 Cayman S that I have driven. I prefer the 911 and so does he. 

i love that bad ass

In reply to JimS :

Thanks! I think thus far I still prefer the Cayman overall, but the 911 has a very unique and enjoyable feel to it. I've done 700 miles this week!

I was expecting this...

Just a small update. Car has 5200 miles on it now, ~1000 of which have been on track. Completed nearly 16 hrs of track time this summer, in between the car's daily driving duties. Only change from factory has been ATE brake fluid and Motul Xcess 8100 engine oil. For reference, consumables with the above track time amounted to an obliterated set of rear OEM pads, and front OEM pads down to 1/5th thickness from stock. OEM Pirellis (with careful pressure management) could likely do another 2-3 days before calling it quits. Rest of the car has run rock solid with no issues :).
