Agree 100%. These are great cars but not worth crap in the market right now.
Gotta also has 10/10th if he uses Porsche tires .

VW/Porsche are not in the light bulb (or tire) business. LED bulbs (interior and side markers) are mods that I talked myself into after seeing what they looked like on my boys cars.

I too have purchased ebay/Amazon bulbs for our various cars and have been very satisfied with them on all of the cars.

On the Boxster, replacing the interior and trunk lights with LED made it so I could actually see things in the car.

10/10ths,

That is quite fascinating, I've owned two Corvettes & a Mustang and never complained about my tires wearing out prematurely.

None of the members of my local Corvette club complained about tires wearing out early. The C5, C6 & C7 owners complain about the loud and rough riding run-flats.

I also don't know any Corvette owners that buy their tires from Walmart.

I do distinctly remember reading about an Acura NSX owner that was going to file a law suit against Acura because his rear tires did not last more than 10,000 miles.

I write this because I don't appreciate people throwing out stereotypes. Are you the least bit aware of what people think and say about Porsche owners? What some say is not very nice (I would categorize it as rude at best).

While what you wrote may be factually correct for those who do not buy brand new Corvettes or Mustangs, it probably also applies to some who purchase second hand Boxsters.

Lets all agree to not perpetuate bad stereotypes, especially those of Porsche owners.
