Meanwhile the boxster blows them all away,

About an hour ago. I put 40 miles on the 911 very early this morning and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it as the roads were nearly deserted. The Rivian is allegedly departing this coming Tuesday. I will believe it when I see it drive away.

Thanks!

2 really good washes can take away 3-4 years of relative neglect

I went for a maiden voyage on the 19” wheels and tires this afternoon. The ride does not suffer all that much vs the 18s. If I had to guess a large part of that is because of the Michelin PS4S. The new TPMS synced up quickly given that I followed the advice of a friend that is a Porsche dealer tech.

Edit: I have said it before and I will say it again… I love this thing!

Jesus that makes a MASSIVE difference!! Those look great!! It really does change the aggressiveness and look of the car.

Maybe an exhaust upgrade next????
