A neighbor of his uses the front for a business and doesn't need the 4 car bay. They want 1/3 the rent for the garage including power and water use, so $800/month.
If I take this I'm thinking about this:

and it’s a wrap. 2019 was essentially just as good as 2018 for us sick with the disease

I'm surprisingly content. Had the haldex and brakes done a little bit ago and a $3 trip to the hardware store for vinyl tubing fixed all my creaking issues.
I'll see how it is reliability wise for the next 2 years then reevaluate status.

They are not bad cars, hopefully they stay that way for us.
I'm contemplating new tires on the prets or selling them for $1100 and getting a new setup. I cant believe how low I let the treads get when they came off last fall.

Nice White Egg mang!
My son has a green one on his lot for a song ($21,999 w/208 farts) , that price and color really gives me the urge to but it looks like they knocked back the warranty to one year for some reason....No bueno

Turns out it had some "shutting off" issues and the original buyer's confidence was so shaken that he bailed. The car has been driven another 1500 miles or so by the managers there, but my son is seriously contemplating buying it.

You have the contis right? I think my pirellis were at about 4/32 when I took them off with about 21k miles and a few autocrosses.Tarspin wrote:They are not bad cars, hopefully they stay that way for us.

Selling them for a set of some forged 18" would be sweet but the prets are so nice. I don't think I could do it.

There's supposedly a fix for that issue now, but tons of 2019 manuals were bought back.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 1:29 pmIs it that stalling issue?Irish wrote:

That's quite a warranty. Your son (or you) should definitely get it if the stalling issue has been resolved.Irish wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 1:09 pmConfirmed the remainder of the 7 year/72000 mile warranty is still valid plus one year.HerrBerlin wrote: ↑Tue Dec 31, 2019 1:11 pm

I use mine summers only, so about half the car's life and I'm at 50k, so slightly more usage then yours and no track days. The counties were good to the end though l and I'd get another set.Gberg2119 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 1:28 pmYou have the contis right?

Yeah, the driver's sideview mirror cracked for some reason. I just got in the car one day and saw a sweet split in the glass.[user not found] wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 10:01 pmCracked mirror?Huckleberry wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2020 9:30 pm
