2005 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
For more details email me at: charleysauage@juno.com . Beautiful, fast, german sports car. Has Bi-Xenon lights which simply illuminates the road almost as well as the
sun. Comfortable for daily driving yet when pushed makes a perfect weekend cruiser. Communicative steering unlike
any car at this price. Sharp and precise. Revs to 7200 rpm through a six speed manual. Light clutch with sharp
gear changes. Grips the road beautifully. Never seen a track in my possession which I am the second owner at 48k.
Never seen snow, ice, or salt. Climate control works great or open the windows and sunroof and take all the
outdoors in. Comfortable hugging seats that are heated. Has a front trunk (frunk) for all the groceries you could
need. Has two rear seats thought the one behind driver only usable for a small child or car seat and the other
side a slightly bigger child but still probably under 100 lbs. Averaged about 25 mpg between usual 1 hr casual
drive and 3-5 hr sportier driving. On interstate managed 31mpg. Has rear automatic spoiler that is hidden under
60 to keep the classic beautiful lines. Brakes so powerful you have better of had a light lunch. Makes a
beautiful noise throughout the whole rpm range and she really starts pulling at 3k rpm. Since 60% of the weight is
over the rear wheels with the engine hanging out behind the wheels the driving style is a little different. It is
a slow in fast out car. So, enter the corner slow but can get on the power sooner. Rewards almost every sense
every time you turn your left hand clockwise to start the car and take off. Subtle enough to not get cops
attention with its dark grey metallic paint and soft curvy body. There is a reason why this car is so praised in
almost all circles of people have driven them, just ask Clarkson, Hammond, or May. Car comes in at 3100 lbs being
a light weight compared to other BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audis.
Had full service at 60k consisting of oil, oil filters, air filter, cabin filter, trans flush, sparkplugs. Full
service at independent german tech center cost $550 at 60k. Told by dealer Clutch was replaced before bought at
48k. New alternator at 48k. New water pump, Rear brake pads, discs, sensors at 48k. Will need new rear tires after
summer driving season. Has two keys though each have broken cases, both unlock and front trunk buttons stopped
working on key fob but key still locks and unlocks car. Small scratch on side in front of wheel well. Couple
interior buttons labels worn. Seats have slight wear. Front has multiple rock chips with a couple on the hood.
Passenger side front bumper has some spots with paint missing.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel
Fri, 17 Oct 2014We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
