small world, I happen to be friends with the Bass player,Tom (not that Tom). Haven't seen him in a while. Had no idea he was in a band until recently. He's a Cal guy although we met at our first jobs at Equitec (the bldg across from the coliseum). Was great spot for going to A's games after work. Another Bear ran a tent at that festival …Big Water Resources guy (JC) with connection to EBMUD I believe …moved out of the area.

Why would I want to watch Cal against a high school team?

Maybe you should make a large donation to Cal Football to make up for the lack of attendence.

13% depreciation over a year, 40-50% over five years.

Cars aren't worth the cost.

Sorry, but Porsche's don't depreciate like that.
Especially their GT cars.

In fact, my 2023 GT3 is worth more now than when I bought it.

The MSRP has increased from $169,000 to $235,000 and they may not make it with a normally aspirated engine after next year making it even more valuable. Never mind the additional $40 to $80,000 dealer mark ups for an allocation.

Thanks for your input.
But you are terribly mistaken when it comes to what I drive or what it's worth.

Well that's not true.


Also, go down Ygnacio one more block and gas is usually five ish cents cheaper.

Sorry, but you are still terribly misinformed.

Porsche is no longer making the gas-engined Macan.
Porsche won't be releasing a gas-engined Macan again until 2028.

I was blessed to have gotten the last allocation at my dealership.

A 2026 Macan GTS for $114,000 before tax and license.
Less 5% discount.

Thanks.

I don't think he has to worry much about the depreciation of his car so long as a Trump supporter buys another one of the companies he's invested in. That should more than cover the depreciation and higher gas costs.

Why would I put an "off-brand" gasoline like Andoil into my Porsches?

That wouldn't be very smart.

Who owns Andoil?
Who knows what additive package they have, if any.

Just to save .05 cents a gallon?

It's not even Top Tier gasoline.
