PPT on a car is as similar to PBF on a watch as it is to a clear plastic slipcover on a sofa.

FWIW, I've never used any of the above (and am not sure if I've got the acronyms right).

Seth, I can not believe how glossy and shiny that looks. It has a wet look to it which just amplifies all the lines and curves.....4500....what a deal to "change" cars! Safe driving my friend!

Anyway, my favorite part is just driving. So I’m driving from jersey to Miami. Again. Stopped in Savannah for the night. Back at it after a workout and breakfast.

Couple pics of the new wrap. The stage 1 tune is mind boggling. The amount of readily available power is not something I would have anticipated. I mean, I knew it was going to be faster. But wow. This car is a scalpel. And so much fun to drive.

The new wrap exceeds expectations.

Seth, that wrap looks so good I wonder if it dents Porsche's PTS sales as they charge such a ridiculous upcharge for it that a wrap looks like a downright bargain. I have never noticed a wrap on a car, so don't know how OEM it looks in person, though.

My brother. It’s truly unreal. I still break my next looking at it. It’s just that good. And yeah, what a deal it is. So very reasonable. And it’s right on my ppf so it’s just a bit of extra protection. I’m in love.

I kid you not, I’ll use the loupe analogy on a watch.

Unless you are looking super close, at the very edges and the door sills and whatnot, you’d never know.

It’s truly that good. The technology is incredible. And has come a very long way.

This is incredible. I mean its hard to beat a Waffle House. And the car is not bad either.

j/k of course. That wrap is blowing my mind. Very nice, sir.

You two, are among the very best. Grateful to know, and learn from, you both.

Enjoy the day my friends.

Likewise! We obviously share interests/hobbies , which is great to have in common. But more importantly, we seem to share similar beliefs, life thoughts and values as human beings. I cherish/value THAT as a common bond vs anything else.

These are fairly rare out there but I had a SQ7 as a rental over the weekend and the car was really a wolf in sheeps clothing.

Marvelous V8 engine, 500hp, glorious engine sound, room for 7, comfortable for long road trips and very understated.

Phenomenal ride you never fully see enough of on the roads! Enjoyed every second of it thinking of picking one up for myself!

Great car. I’m a big fan. Tweak the outside a bit and they look fantastic too.

Fully agreed. Doesn't drive like an SUV at all, more so a taller wagon on steroids. Always eager to go, suspension is fairly firm overall but not harsh. Surprisingly OK gas mileage (~14mpg mostly city driving, and that's with having 'fun' around town).

Comparing that to the X7 M50i currently for next DD - tough decision both got pros and cons.

Audi definitely felt like a more special vehicle over the BMW. Extra points for being super rare on the road.

My first car in 1987, cost me $800. I will own another 2002 one day.

That's just beautiful. Forgive my ignorance, I am not too up to speed on high-end Porsches - What model is that?

Now have a hydraulic leak in the shocks that need to be rebuilt and new bushings for the suspension. It never ends. Next project will be a much needed reconditioning of the seats.

Also digging through the car, I found this plaque from the old owner which indicates this is the only white on white roadster ever made. Certainly a nice surprise.

Brian, any sound clips yet? What a crazy looking bull.
