Very sweet wheels, the cutouts look a lot like the BBS FI-R, then googling a bit it looks like BBS make these wheels for Manthey too, definitely the nicest I’ve seen on a 992

Yea this is absolutely correct, there’s a lot of garbage about salvage cars that gets repeated especially in the Porsche world by guys who think they’re Ayrton Senna and that the car “won’t feel the same” after it’s had a minor head-on repaired. They don’t realise that literally every Carrera Cup or Porsche Supercup 911 has literally been rebuild over and over but gets dialed back in perfectly each time. My current car is the first non-salvage car I’ve ever owned, and I’d happily enjoy the discount they come with again in the future. The only way to tell the current condition and state of a car is to put it on a lift and carefully inspect it, making guesses based on how clean or dirty the title is leads you to make poor guesses.

Looks pretty much the same with a slightly uglier grill and the new headlights, so probably accurate

Sport mode and letting it do the shifting, but I have the crappy multi-function wheel with the silly buttons on my 991.1, and I can’t use the shifter for shifting since Porsche installed the stupid thing backwards in the Carrera and apparently there is no easy way to fix it. Two very stupid mistakes Porsche made on an otherwise very enjoyable car.

Great EV tech: Tesla, great build quality, interior and driving experience, BMW. BMW and Porsche are the two brands who do the whole making an SUV feel vastly smaller than it actually is handling wise thing best of all, the X5 in particular feels very sporty and sedan-like, but the X7 is good too. Despite the low CG, Teslas don’t give that feeling of being small and light, even the model 3 feels heavier than it really is for some reason.
