Do the stores get the same sales as the website? I was going to place an order but just discovered that the Scottsdale store opened up last summer. I was going to head over to it instead of ordering as long as they have the Black Friday pricing too.

Very False, I'm in Scottsdale The next person plays a music instrument.

There's actually 3 auctions here that weekend. Gooding also has one down at Scottsdale Fashion Square too. It's usually higher end with some pretty sweet stuff.

Too bad, going to miss you this year. Thanks for the TV line up Mook. I hadn't even thought of speed being gone for it. I can't believe that NatGeo got the big day. That seems a bit weird.

Just about that time of year again. Just under a week away from the sales starting! Is the Adams crew going to be here again this year? Haven't seen anything posted on it or if we're doing a clinic again this year.

If one of the write-ups I read (think car and driver) is correct, it's very peppy. They had the S listed at either 5.1 or 5.2 sec 0-60 and the Turbo at 4.6 seconds. Those numbers honestly sound too quick for me, especially with the way Porsche reports their times. So I'm taking them with a grain of salt until I see something official on it.

I was on board with you when both the Panamera and the Cayenne were released. Porsche is a sports car company, they shouldn't be doing saloons or SUVs. Then I had a loaner Panamera for a bit while my car was in the shop. Fantastic to drive and I want one now if I was to get a saloon (although the Model S is tempting me too ). Then my dealership recently got a few Cayennes for loaners and I got one for my last service. Best SUV I've driven or rode in. The thing was surprisingly agile and quick for an SUV. One of the days it was raining which means slick roads here in the desert. It was very sure footed and felt almost like normal conditions. I was impressed with it. If I needed to get an SUV it would be my number 1 choice now. I wouldn't have said that before driving it. Even though it's not a sports car, Porsche it right and made a great SUV.

Can't wait to see it in person. I'm sure I'll love it. I haven't meet a Porsche yet that I didn't love to drive.

Don't worry about this. We'll let you in the Porsche clubhouse now. You don't have to deal with the GT500 riff-raff anymore.

Great mod. It's the first thing I did to mine too. It's amazing how much better such a small thing looks. I wish Porsche would just start shipping with clear instead of amber. I think my dealer told me that it was a federal regulation thing.

Congrats!!!!! Teagan!

Any update on how this is going Dylan? I know some one to beta test it. I'll even let you guys demo it when you're here in January for Barrett-Jackson. I can't speak for what they're working, but if it's like RaggTop, I wouldn't. Ragg Top produces some nasty fumes. It's nasty enough that inside of a 2 car garage with the door open is too confined. I'll only spray it with the car out in the open and then let my car sit outside for a bit. Using it on the interior would create a cab I wouldn't want to breath in.

Thanks everyone. Doing some more research it looks like the fuel pump issue was mainly with the 2009 and 2010s. So we're back to strongly considering it again. Time for her to make up her mind.

We test drove it yesterday and the performance was fine. It has more pickup then the 2003 Accord with 215k miles that it'll be replacing.

Hi Guys, Used car shopping for a friend and we're trying to find her something with good reliability. I've been trying to get her to look at getting another Accord since I know it'll be solid for her. Unfortunately she had a Jetta catch her eye and the dealer has a great deal (right at her target price point) on a 2011 Jetta TDI that was fully loaded. I've been trying to steer her away from it due to the full pump issues the TDIs were having then and also due to the cost of the 40k mile maintenance that the transmissions in them require. Does anyone have any experience dealing with them and their reliability? I don't want to block her on it if they're really not much of an issue anymore and it was a bit of an overblown internet thing a couple years ago that's still dominating my searches. I know that historically VW wasn't the more reliable, but it looks like they've made improvements with the latest models. I'm just not sure if it was enough of an improvement. Thanks

Nice one. I have to remember this joke. Or he just knows the correct way to say his car's maker.

Any chance you have a plan for what you built? A nice table for mine is something that's on my list.

Only $393k? Must be a base model. I'll pass. My brother's dealership has had 5 go through it so far including 2 Nuremberg editions. Super sweet. And you can buy them now with the dealership getting first rights to repurchase it. I know someone who bought 2 of them and then put one up for sale through the dealer when he replaced it when a Nuremberg edition.

It sometimes pays to go to the detail clinics. Dylan showed it off. It's a spray version of American that comes in 4 cylinders. You put one at each corner of the car and it acts as automated spray system. Think patriot missiles of waxing. Really cool. It's not going to be Adam's cheapest product though.

I've been waiting since January for you to post this. Figures it comes the day after I make a big purchase and not going to have the cash on hand for it.

Actually, in the case I was thinking of I was doing a couple larger Tri-Tips and the recipe I was following said to sear them, then drop the temp to slow cook. I didn't realize that that keeping the top open would cool it down in this situation. I thought that would help keep it going since it lets air in. I had been trying to do it with both closed to kill the heat source down. It makes a bit of sense though that they could help lower it. Thanks

Thanks, the link is what I was thinking Gary was saying he does.

BGE searing question. You get the grill up to 600 to sear each side for 2 min. For the additonal 3-4 min cook time do you drop the grill's temp at all or stay at about 600? If you are dropping it, how? I can't get mine to a lower temp in any reasonable amount of time. Last time I did tri-tips I wanted to sear them, then do a slow cook over a few hours. Never happened since I couldn't get the temp down.

Seconded! I bought a large BGE last May and I'll never go back. Actually been thinking of adding a second one. Everything comes off it so amazing. I've been using it for everything from long slow cooks like ribs or even beef stew in a dutch oven to quick cooks like a chicken breast, burgers, or a steak. It also makes awesome pizza with the pizza stone. Also, if you haven't done it yet, make baked potatoes on it. It makes the best I've had. They're amazing. All I do is take a large russet (about 1 pounders) coat with olive olive and kosher salt. Then cook bare on the grate to an internal temp of about 205-210 with the Egg at about 400 degrees. Takes a little over an hour usually. Goes great with what ever else I make on it. These are really the reason why I'm thinking of a 2nd BGE. Want to be able to have a hot one while doing a low and slow cook. BTW, if you don't have one yet get a Looftlighter. They're great at getting the Egg lit and running quickly.
