Now she is ALL MINE!   Paid her off a year early with the 2nd to final payment being $7.18.  Had to deal with a few cents due to the bank’s calculation methods.

Congratulations! No better feeling than having no car payments.

Nice!  I will have a 25 year flair pin by the time mine is paid off.

Just got an email that my PEC delivery will be challenged by this... Crap.

My options are:
I can do a mock delivery (not worth the flight to LA, IMO), I can reschedule (to mid March, according to this email, even though we are already scheduled for March..), or I can cancel and have the car shipped to the dealer.

I haven’t read up on this thread in a while, but I’m wondering if anyone is finally making a code reader thingy that can turn off the auto start/stop feature of the 992 models?

I have a Autel 906bt and it will only erase and read codes.  Under service it will reset oil reminder.  It does have some coding options but I think you would really need to know what you’re doing in there.  My seat (18ways) has a malfunction so I checked to see if was a readable code and while in there I browsed the other options like could I option a bigger rear tire so my speedo would read correctly and it doesn’t support that function on the 992T….bummer.

I ended up getting the Autel MK808BT from Amazon on a Black Friday sale only because it was on sale and can reset the oil light in my 992 Targa GTS.  I noticed it didn’t have much in the way of coding. It won’t even turn off the start/stop in a BMW like the Carly will. But for the price I paid, I’m not too bothered   As for the asinine start/stop, I just switch to sport mode every time I start up

Sweet!  Went to local car meet last weekend and there were 3 of us with 992T cars.  red, white and blue.  I'm glad I got mine, no remorse except it doesn't smell like leather inside.  Sport tex or whatever it's called gives off a toyota new car smell. The seats are awesome and I would option them again, but maybe add that $4200 leather package...maybe.  Hope you get your car soon.

Thank You!!  Been fortunate enough to own many fun sports cars, this one somehow covers all the bases:  Cool / Retro, Modern enough (AC, fuel injection, Airbags, ABS, power everything, etc.), fast enough, stupid handling / braking, etc.

Have had 2 fun cars for quite awhile, getting to the point where I only want one, this one is definitely the keeper.  One of you guys need to buy my C4 ZR1 lol.

I was going to say the same thing. I always warm mine up, so I go out to the garage, uncover her, unplug battery tender, start car, turn to sport.
Come back out 10 min later and enjoy


PS - I’m highly considering the 992S M-Engineering Tune! After the full Soul Exhaust that just installed, I need more. MTune can leave valves open 100% of the time. While also deleting start stop, allowing free rev in N, and do the “GTS” +40hp bump for on-track, and then a “street” up to 130HP tune to switch back and forth.
Almost clicked button today, but I dunno….still have 2 years of warranty left.

I don’t have self control, so it’s safer this way. It’s in a heated garage, so upon start up even in the winter it’s already at 60 degrees upon start up. I know it’s not the best way, but safer than redlining it at 70 degrees. From our house, we have to immediately get on 50mph country roads, and within 4-5 minutes or so merge into 70mph freeway with no stop lights.
I love hammering our roads, and can’t control myself so warming up the engine oil a bit from 60 to usually 100 degrees, then get in and drive for a mile or so gets to around 150. Then once it hits 150 I quit watching temps.
Sounds crazy, but I have the process planned out perfectly so I can hammer down getting on the freeway.
I’ve never let it sit and idle to 150. That would take for ever.

Got myself an 896 last week for a steal from a friend.

New Boxster S brakes/suspension/bushings/etc.
New seats.
New clutch.
New Tires.

Upcoming:
Paint shop to repair some scratches.
Circuit Works exhaust next week.
Changing MAF sensor as it's bad.
Changing out starter for preventative maintenance.
Tinting windows.
Wheel spacers.
Final step is wrapping the whole car in matte black Suntek PPF.

I love this little thing. Once I'm done, I'll be eyeing a 996.

For some reason I think I need a M car.  I own a 2008 E63, a 2016 Holden VF2 with a LSA and the 2024 992T.  F10, F90...whatever it takes.

Should have taken the picture from the other side with your car blocking that monstrosity.

The G80 M3 is an amazing car, if I needed a 4-door performance car, that's be it. The owner of the M3 and I are good friends, it's a fun car.

My man! 10000x better photo, honestly I like that m3 from every angle that doesn’t show the grill.

You were definitely getting after it if you were breaking those free. I’ve still got my winter tires on and it’s easy to slide everywhere on those. I’m tempted to get a 3rd set of wheels and the hardest, cheapest, skinniest tires I can find for just messing around. I have the Conti extremecontact DWs right now, really confidence inspiring at speed, especially after going to 1” wider wheels but the winter tires are more fun at more moderate speeds. The car moves around a ton more.
