PORSCHE San Diego, CA ~ Test Driving Day
Wife test driving the Porsche Macan GTS today and saw a few others I thought the TRF Car Guys would appreciate.


This 2016 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S just came in as a trade and It will likely be gone soon!

Hey Larry, what are your thoughts on the Macan?

By the way, the USA pricing for the 911R makes me cry. Below is local price here in Oz.

PS. what is the green Targa in background of one of your pics? Looks like 964 series?

Not sure about green Targa but it was sweet. PM me and I'll send you the name/number of the guy who helped us if you want it.

Wow, that GT looks like a great deal. Is that a 0 or a 6 on the invoice?

Porsche Macan GTS sounds fun. Did your wife like it?

I'm in the market for a VW Golf R to replace my GTI commuter. Might as well have a little more fun during those commutes.

Getting closer, hoping to have something very soon!

The AMG will be gone as soon as they list it...IMHO

Look forward to seeing the pics of your new ride soon!

That R is also incredibly cheap compared to the UK. £500k for a Porsche approved used car.

Add my wife to the list ladies looking for a Macan. Luckily for me the base model is more than fast enough for her. However, I will probably purchase an S for her so I can enjoy it as well.

Happy hunting!

Macan is a great vehicle. Drove about every SUV/CUV on the market last year and the Macan Turbo was my favorite.

You know what I mean. If you ever make it down this way, we'll go cruising in the Crown. It's fun to drive down the interstate and all of a sudden slow down and get behind someone. They slow down below the speed limit and constantly look in the rearview mirror. Yes, I am an Ahole for that, but it is soooo funny.

Saw a Crown Vic yesterday driving down the street, looked like an ex-cop car. License plate was something like "FOOLED U" (they abbreviated it, but same idea).
