A few of my friends with CTS-V's have had mixed results with stuff breaking on them with very low mileage. I was just about ready to pull the trigger on a 2013 6 speed and then one of my friends who had the same year with 23k on it had her sunroof start leaking and random electronics failures.

CTS-V is among those under consideration, pending research, but I didn't want to throw possibles out there to color the input.

I can do gose in small amounts, but not that many! The only watermelon beer I can remember having is Phoenix Ale Brewing's Watermelon Ale, which is a good beer. I'm more of a stouts and Belgians guy myself. Anything barrel aged goes to the top of the list.

Very big fan of barrel aged stouts. I am debating on drinking a Parabola or Evil Twin Imperial Biscotti Break after the NASA event tomorrow.

If you are into Belgian Quads, I have an Engine 15 Heavy Engine (10.4% from Jacksonville, FL) that I would be willing to part with.

They are nothing like German levels of reliability, but there have been some issues that have been covered under warranty. My biggest concern was the what happens after its out of warranty.

If I sold my S2000s I'd either buy a 997 GT3, or a new Cayman GT4 or GTS.

I don't really want to pay for the upkeep, maintenance, tires, registration, ect. on one of those things right now.

Holy mother of god. Seriously? What a joke.

Well the TR6060 is very strong and the LSA has proven extremely reliable. I've heard bad things about the latest DI engines so they still need some time to teeth out all their problems. I was really hoping that they'd introduce DI and Port because how it'll have the exact same issues that all DI engines have always had
