akdave Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Good Thursday everyone! On cup #2 of Java this morning - I was introduced last night to a new bourbon I thought I'd share (if it hasn't been already - may be old hat for some). A friend recommended Knob Creek Single Barrel reserve, it's wonderful. It is quite smooth and I really enjoyed the flavor. If you haven't tried it - I give it a thumbs up. Remember, I'm not even a whiskey enthusiast - so take this amateurs amateur opinion with two grains of salt. :-) Little man continues to heal - and get way more active - no issues so far! Have a great day! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT FAN Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 At a 120 proof that KCSB has plenty of giddy-up. I agree, very smooth for high test. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have LS clones with Altec horn/drivers and Beyma tweets. I have also had stock LS. I have not hooked the LS back since getting the RP-280 Fs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at Cayman's before buying the S2000. There is no Porsche dealer here and the upkeep would have been much higher.

DizRotus Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 In college, I worked in the service department at a VW, Porsche, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Subaru dealership. Customers would come from 100s of miles to have our Porsche mechanics work on their 911s. A small town Chevy dealership from some distance away brought in the proverbial "basket case" 911. They had taken it in on trade and one of their mechanics, I believe his name was Bubba, took it apart, but couldn't put it back together properly. Many hours and several thousand dollars later it was again running. Normally the mechanics were fairly blase about working on 911s, 930s, 928s, etc, but I recall a day when a 914/6 came in; they were drawn to it like bees to honey. Frequently customers would pose a question like this, "I can get a used 911 for $X,000. Is that a good deal?" My standard reply was to ask their budget, to which they usually replied with the same number as the purchase price. I would then break the sad news to them that what sounds like a purchase price for a used Porsche is only the initiation fee. Without double the purchase price for a budget, it was an unwise purchase. It’s the dues that kill you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
