i told him it is not brumos he agreed. he choose them for the exposure...to turn up the heat on porsche. same parts from pelican much less. brumos sent me a post card for 118 dollars for oil change..still go to omega steve wouldnt charge me last time because i bring him cigars and canned italian tomatoes for his wife. cant tell you how many times he wouldnt work on the car, just thought it unnessesary,he was at brumos 12 yrs. his right hand man 10. recently brumos current master mech. left and opened across the street. boy ive heard some stories and have a heck of a nightmare of my own from brumos however uninformed people like myself should not buy used porsche without doing homework or ppi or expierienced test drivers.

Sorry, if Porsche owned the dealership or if they had sold him the car, then his protest would make some sense. However, since Brumos had no involvement with either him or the car, he is unfairly giving a privately owned dealership a bad reputation for something outside of their control. I can virtually guarantee that most passersby will think that he is complaining about his treatment by Brumos directly and Porsche only indirectly. He should move on.

Brad hit the nail on the head. This guy should pack his bags and go 370 miles north to Porsche Cars North America in Atlanta, Ga.

Off topic, but that is now their temporary HQ while they are building a new place complete with test track near the Atlanta Airport. The bad part is they are moving from a very nice area of town to an awful area.

Perfect, are you dissing 'Jersey Tomatoes? Everyone I know in the Tri-state area anxiously awaits fresh NJ Tomatoes every Summer.

They are great in salads, tacos or sandwiches but they are not fibrous enough for the high heat of cooking. The Cento San Marzano's (certified I think) from Fairway Market are the way to go. I'm sure they have a lot more lycopene as well, that's good for people who have heart conditions or don't want any. The imported stuff from Italy has a much deeper red color. I know the chef at Portofino in Colt's Neck he only uses the imported (in huge cans, no pre-made sauces,all made to order), he also flys in fish from Italy every week.

I would change it soon. A bearing isn't meant to last forever. And this is the most important one. At least you don't have a 2006-2008 Boxster IMS bearing. Those are not nearly as easy to replace (when their time is up). You have to take out the engine. $$$$$. 1997-2004 is an easy job.
