    Nice colors. I’m surprised it came enclosed private transport like that.

    Today’s link from my son was a 2007 Cayman S. 6 speed. Gorgeous dark blue over beige. Probably going to eat you alive based on description. Definitely enthusiast owned, with short shift, exhaust, tunes and coil overs (from what I recall). Oh, and recently replaced engine with a used one. A couple warning lights on, they “think” related to some LED light upgrade (something like that). Basically everything you don’t want in a used Porsche. Especially if you have zero DIY capacity for it, and aren’t independently wealthy.

    Admire from a far! Do not touch or it will bite.

    Our mega sites are run by a hospital too. You use their my chart website feature to register and schedule. Really efficient, and cuts the government out of the process (probably why it worked so well). Anyone trying to go through the state interface finds it to be a mess. Direct to the site was easy.

    My mom had no problem scheduling.... it would have been quite ironic if she did considering she worked for them for over 40 years.

    I would never buy it. He’s smart enough to heed the advice too. He just likes looking. If he really decides to go the toy route, we will get serious about picking something. I keep suggesting a Miata. Maybe a Golf R. There are options.

    I was able to sign up to get my first round next Saturday (13th). I think that one is Moderna (I haven't researched the difference between them); the sign up said, "You must have time available on April 10th for the second injection. By confirming this appointment, you certify that you will schedule a second appointment for April 10." Or something like that. There was no ambiguity involved! :D

    Also, everyone I know who has gone through the second immunization says that you need to clear your schedule for 24-48 hours after injection, as that one tends to invoke a solid immune response that can make you feel rather miserable for a short time.

    2014 models tend to be $40K-$50K

    2009-2010 can be reasonable ($30K-$40K), but like hen's teeth.

    That 2007 I mentioned was listed at $25k, with 50,000 miles.

    Now this is nice. Love the interior. Lots more money.

    Very nice... but, I'd rather have an "S" with 30K miles. I don't really mind if the previous owner drove the car.

    '06-'08 models look like a lot of bang for the buck, though. If you don't get the IMS issue, you come out way ahead. And, they are readily available.

    I don't want a modded car, though.

    I'd sooner shoot for a 996 where the IMS is more serviceable vs. the 05-09 997 IMS which really can't be.

    I’d be fine with one that had the IMS done already with one of the good kits. And really don’t need a S. Base is more than good enough for me, and of course, way cheaper.

    @qbrozen - how on earth did they get it in and out of that enclosed trailer? Doesn't look like there was much room on either side to open the door or slide in, even if the window were open, and the side door on the trailer doesn't look like it lines up. :s

    Nice looking car, though!
  • ab348ab348 Member Posts: 19,617
    Great to see, QB. Is that Shadow Gray or Satin Steel? I really like Satin Steel, which is lighter than Shadow, but they both look good with silver/polished wheels. Turn the flash on you camera on and get some pics of the coal mine interior too! I bet you will love the car.

    Has anyone heard why the prices of petrol have risen so sharply this past month or so? I paid $2.49 last week with my discount at Cumberland Farms and today, I'd be paying $2.59. Haven't found anything in the internet news as to why the sudden spike in prices. EV vehicles really seem to be the wave of the future as long as the the states can locate an adequate amount of charging facilities to meet the probable demand that is anticipated.
    I'm finally at the point where I'd definitely get one if all the variables fall into place. Tired of being at the mercy of petrol prices changing as often as they do. But then, we'll have to deal with the power companies...a never ending cycle it seems! But, we're addicted to our different modes of transportation and that's one thing that ain't going away. It was hard staying home at the start of the pandemic, and now, folks just want to get out and go! But, we have to be smart here and not go back as quickly as some would like...need to do it in moderation folks, moderation is the key here. And please, do not read anything political into what I'm saying here. Too many innocent folks have passed and we owe it to them to not return to what life used to be too soon.

    Demonizing oil companies and shutting down pipeline construction might have something to do with it. Prices here in NY are up 30% and seems to be increasing a few cents a week. Unfortunately all products, electricity and food will follow. Our economy is and will continue to be fueled primarily by oil and a changeover to wind and solar will be slow and costly.

    My wife found an appointment yesterday morning and got her first shot in the afternoon.
    Also got the 2nd shot scheduled while getting the first shot. Just luck, really.
    I'll be done with my medication next week and have a couple of follow up tests the week after.
    Then I'll look for a shot.

    In NJ they don’t let you leave without scheduling your 2nd shot. A nice process. That mega site was a well oiled machine. Very impressed.
    Local hospital does the mass vaccination site, near here.
    I think they were doing about 64 jabs per hour when we were there. Looks like they are set up to do twice that, if they had the vaccine supply.
    I was looking at the state run sites and the only available appointments were 160+ miles away near the Canadian border. Then I stumbled on the CVS drug store site. They had appointments 10 miles away all day long.

    The deal with Walgreens was that they only book three days in advance, so you have to catch the website when new appointments become available.

    No apologies necessary. I’ll say that $55k seems downright reasonable these days for that class (compared to the E-class and 5-series). Personally, I might lean more toward the S90, but, to be fair, I have driven neither.

    Absolutely $55k is a bargain in that class. S90 is nice to and they used to lease phenomenally if you wanted to do that as a stop gap and get an EV at the end of that lease.

    The S60 and S90 drive very similar to each other. The 90 is a touch softer and you feel the added weight.

    @laurasdada have you tried an S60 or S90. The R-design trim is pretty sporty and can be very well equipped.

    My wife found an appointment yesterday morning and got her first shot in the afternoon.
    Also got the 2nd shot scheduled while getting the first shot. Just luck, really.
    I'll be done with my medication next week and have a couple of follow up tests the week after.
    Then I'll look for a shot.

    In NJ they don’t let you leave without scheduling your 2nd shot. A nice process. That mega site was a well oiled machine. Very impressed.
    Local hospital does the mass vaccination site, near here.
    I think they were doing about 64 jabs per hour when we were there. Looks like they are set up to do twice that, if they had the vaccine supply.
    Saw the hoopla over Ohio-ans going to Covington, KY for the COVID shot. I never heard whether the great State of Kentucky allowing those from OHIO to get the vaccine, but heard some were initially turned away, and then allowed to actually get it.

    Was wondering about the outcome of that.

    Supposedly it was an issue in the zip code database where the system thought certain OH zip codes were in KY and thus eligible to get vaccinated in KY. The rule has generally been that if you get a confirmed appointment, you will not be turned away. I think 1,000 or so Ohioans got vaccinated in Northern KY. I think they have asked the feds to allocate KY 1,000 doses out of OH's allotment, but I doubt anything will come of that.

    Basically, not allowed

    But, the goal is to stick as many as possible, and it looks like the supply is going to really ramp up, this month. Also, as you know, it's one big metro area, here. And, the vaccine is paid for. In another couple of weeks, as long as you have an appointment, it's likely no one will care.

    Yeah, as soon as they finally get the supply chain stuffed full, all the craziness goes away and everyone can just make an appointment and go. Hopefully pretty soon.

    Based on the rear tires I’m real curious what’s under the hood.
