that sucks

 

damn right they do - it is NOT "normal" especially when 3 different people noticed it, not including myself.

 

Eh it's a nice day for a drive. The sucky part is having to go back to get the car when it's ready.

They did have a nice 08 Bentley Continental GT for sale, I could live with that

 

yeah but an hour on a spare tire? I dunno... I really treat that scenario as "emergency use" only.

 

Oh, well yeah, that sucks but it's on back roads all the way there and back. 55mph zones.

 

No word from Porsche. I'm taking that as good news as in they're going "hey - he's right, this is f'ed up" hmmmmm

 

Hopefully it means they are taking it seriously and working on it.

Oh, I'll be Mercedes-ing it today & tomorrow, no more driving on the dinky spare. The traction control keeps coming on and it's no fun right now.

 

black ice... nearly spun out luckily i was able to control the car. VSA was on i don't understand why it slipped... one hell of a scare.

 

Anything yet?

 

VSA can't controll ice. it's futile to do anything when there is no traction at all. normally VSA backs off throttle after you've broken traction to get you back to the threshold of traction.

black ice is like an air hockey table. theres no traction there to begin with!


be safe
