Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I did that with a 2009 911 that I had. Wanted the “sport” and “sport plus” option, so bought the switch and the local dealer do the install and reprogramming.

It's the second car he's given to a grand daughter in the last few years. Nice guy.
Can you show him a good report card (with your name on it) ?

I’m not so opposed to the built-in nature (competition will often take care of that and make things standard) but no monthly fees. There is no way they’ll make it cheaper. And it portends poorly for those of us who want to keep things a long time.

Cheapest suite south of the river though that I would consider.

Problem is we weren’t sure how far we would get. And we went with the 35/287 route, so along 287 is slim pickings with no Marriott group, essentially. Had planned on a Holiday Inn, but it and others were booked. Any port in a storm, and we’ll spend a total of maybe 10 hours here.

It’s going to be a hot and humid day. I still would love to do a longer ride, as I acclimate well to these conditions, but my friends don’t share my enthusiasm so we are only planning a 70 mile ride. Good enough.

Last day of riding in Wisconsin. Doing a short 30 miler back to Rhinelander. We’ve had good weather and beautiful roads and to top it off, I dropped my wife yesterday 10 miles from the end of our 60+ mile ride and try as she could, she couldn’t catch. The last 10 miles were pan flat. She didn’t stand a chance.

Seems like you could have the dealer do the activation based on an ala carte menu, but nope.
Well you have to make it as difficult as possible.

I didn't read the article. I'm just now realizing it's a monthly subscription!
Oh. Not so thrilled any more
