Agreed fully. You made the right call on the PDK.CorvetteWaxer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:46 pmI'm getting there with the PDK. I know there's no way in hell I could out perform it, and it is fun to drive. All that with consistent launches and no riding the traffic with your left leg only getting the workout.

Actually, Porsche will let you make the wrong choice if you so desire, just for a very high custom build fee.
The license plate explains the custom order, since it lists the owners chromosome count.
Nice. Ronald McDonald's car!

AAA came and towed it. Tow truck guy was amazed that there wasn't a spare in it. It's a fucking Ford not a BMW/Benz/whatever, and it does not have run flat tires.
Oh well, tow was free, needs a new tire which is expensive but whatever I guess. I felt like I couldn't help her though.
That’s some scary shit. Glad she made it out ok. What happened with the old tire ? It just popped on the bridge ? Spare or not I wouldn’t touch it on a bridge ... that’s a death sentence. I’d probably roll and destroy the tire until the first off ramp.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 11:50 am Lisa got a flat yesterday in her C-Max while on a bridge on I-95. At night.

That's partly why I felt I couldn't help her. Would rather her sit in the car and wait for tow dude with his 13k lb truck with blindingly bright flashing yellow lights to help her out. But if she did get a flat and was in the hood or something, what just sit there scared white girl on her phone in her broken down hybrid? I wouldn't be able to help there either.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 11:57 amThat’s some scary shit. Glad she made it out ok. What happened with the old tire ? It just popped on the bridge ?

Seems like it's full mode over there.

Even as recently as this summer, these guys were having Hollywood style parties for any team building reasons you could think of, meanwhile back at their production facility they were banging together sheet metal to make it all fit with no regard to improving their part stamping. This is no surprise as creditors become less forgiving to Tesla. 2019 is the appropriate year to tighten up their spending wherever possible... hopefully they use some extra funding to clean up their existing product line up before they go nuts on new projects.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 11:04 pmJust found this: http://www.thedrive.com/news/26062/read ... of-layoffs

Weight savings, which is critical in a hybrid. Our Volt didn't come with a spare either. I ended up buying one, and I throw it in the back when we go on trips.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Mon Jan 21, 2019 11:46 pmUn fucking believable, No spare? on a Fraud??
