Yes, but your car would look cooler when parked with the rear hatch up & back seats down! Cuz' I know your car's in this situation a lot. Totally different topic.....I found out today why the Porsche brake job was so ridiculously expensive. They're saying I need to replace not just the front pads but at 50k miles "it's standard to replace the rotors too". After I was done laughing, I e-mailed a gentleman I know who has a couple Cayenne's & he said he's never had to do that. I'll keep y'all posted on what the dealership says.

Who is ready for AMVIV. I know I am I got the megan header installed, ditched the back seat for a rear seat delete panel, getting some v-band clamps welded on the M7 exhaust this weekend, last but not least I am ready for warm weather to swap wheels and slam it.

Been on the phone most of the day so far. I did disassemble your steering column in my search for wires. There are a lot of wires that are broken or loose so I am having to guess at where they went or if they are required. I get a headache just looking at it.

Since Monday is a holiday, I may set up a run for the afternoon. I have to work in the morning, but should be free after that.
