The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies)

alcheng · 10-17-2012, 11:54 AM

Good Morning Everyone....!!

Just came back from the dealer... they were doing an inspection on my Z and weird thing is they found out the windshield washer nozzle doesn't work, the motor is making noise trying to pump but nothing comes out....

Funny thing is 33k km I have on the Z and I probably has used the windshield washer less than 30 times...

well, they gonna fix it under warranty anyway...

So the rental company came and I saw the car, I hop in and told the guy "this one is pretty nice.."

"Yea it is, leather seat, 4WD, rear-view camera, pretty good power....."

"Can I get this one??" Usually they give me the most basic one......

"Sure, I can check if this one is reserved, otherwise there's no problem.."

so I drove home, this Blue color rental, leather seat, sunroof, upgraded audio with bluetooth, rearview camera with display integrated in the rear-mirror, blind-spot indicator...

The most important, the handling of this car is so far the best I've had from Enterprise.....

I am amazed by this Ford Fusion.... I have to say, as a domestic, it is a very nice car....

Same as you. I just found a good deal online saving me about $20 from buying it at the local places. The first two oil changes we had done by the dealer - I politely listened to the service manager's spiel about the Nissan Ester oil and then told him to put Mobil 1 Synthetic in it

I am incredibly tempted to fashion a very similar disguise, but instead of concealing me and a camera, it would conceal me and a shotgun

meh-Porsche (porsha-thx EW for helping me to not look foolish!! you da best!) was nice but it is def NOT my Z. The "put your azz back in the seat" feeling was lacking....clutch was tight, shifter was loose...drivers seat was a bit more comfy than the Z ...I liked the way the nose looked from the drivers seat though....and it got it's fair share of sideways looks too! LOL love hot sports cars!

I'm so glad to hear that a Boxster does not compare to the Z

a 911 Turbo S on the other hand...

You are smart honey~~~

You just need a paper to "certified" that, and then you can get a better job... that pays you twice the amount of money than the sum of two "work-your-azz-off-shitty-jobs"

alcheng · 10-17-2012, 12:23 PM

Out of rep....

I owe some.... give me 24 hours.... I promise... please.... don't kill me.....

The new Boxster S on the other hand is pretty capable. 4.5 to 60. 188mph top speed and about .98gs on the skidpad if I recall. Price as tested was 80 thousand something though!

New Boxster S is sick

There is only one Porsche worth buying.... 911

Although I would test drive a Cayman S, but I would feel like I cheaped out buying it over a real Porsche.

Indeed. Looks pretty good too. Not as wussy as before. But a Boxster for 80k+ is absurd. Base is around 60. I saw it in the new Road and Track, i think. They were testing it on the tail of the dragon
