I was using Al Moreno "baddest on the planet" because every time I think about it - it makes me laugh.

Long story.... This is "our" first Porsche... and it spent half of the first month in the shop. BUT.... always a big BUTT... she loves the car. But this car seems to be a POS so far. And frankly - that was always my opinion of Porsches...

So the jury is still out.

Fit and finish is 'okay' - but there are a couple items that just ARE NOT right - like the A pillar covers (interior)... If you turn the radio off -- you turn off the NAV and everything else that uses that screen (can you spell STUPID)? Car sounds to me like it has an exhaust leak. Did I mention that I think it's a big ol' fat ugly pig?

My S will kick it's ass at anything.... except maybe going up a hill.

I've seen more and more in the area around here and kind of like the looks. Looks great with the wheels and tires.

John,

Only for truck tires, that are over 28" in diameter. Otherwise, there are full boxes we ship them in. Same as TireRack.com if you've ever ordered from them.

Greg's tires were a tick over 30" in diameter....

OK I got a little scared. Ive been waiting so long that if the UPS guy scratched them I would probably cry.
