Something to look forward to! (and that FC can enjoy now…)

I love Porsche brakes.

Pretty.

Those wheels kinda make the rotors look tiny--what diameter are the rotors?

350mm in front. Not the biggest, but not tiny. It’s just the giant wheels.

Big enough that the 17” spare from the 986 just barely doesn’t fit. Frustrating!

Just over 1000 miles now, so starting to be a little more aggressive with it. It’s definitely not slow.

Looking good, do you put a cover on it?

Yes, when I won’t drive it for a while—but have been driving it quite a bit.

FWIW, the ceramic coating that the dealer insisted I buy actually works really well. I was sure it was going to be snake oil but it’s impressive how easily I can clean the car mostly just by hosing it off.

Ha ha ha.

We never said it would be slow.

The question is if you find enough open road to open it up fully. It can be frustrating.

When I was growing up it used to be a nice drive to Front Royale. Do people still do that in the DC area? I might be showing my age.
