    front baffle assembly

    Absolutely. Flush mount is the ONLY method for mounting a driver IMO. While this "can" be done with the baffles separate it is more work and has a larger chance of failure. Glue them up first!
  2. And in 10 years the value of it will be zero. Depends on what you really define as cost of ownership. Personally I am absolutely not into things like it, but I weigh my costs as purchase price - selling price and yes, I never keep anything forever.

    Where, how, and why do you get a meatball sub at 3:30 in the morning?

    Of course not, but the BM'er wins there.

    Windows 8 is a perfect interface for the car IMO. Had I known the dumbo metro stuff would be so sweet I wouldn't have bought an Android for the boat, but just built a car PC. Not having a mouse is huge.

    Yes, the vents and shit won't be as nice, but it'd be cheap and give me a kickass interface that won't age over time.

    Psyched. Get the new front end for the IQR later on this week. Basically updating it to 2013 specs which will greatly improve it's trail manners.

    And as long as the bus to the factory amps is not digital could even mimic any processing to get by using them and the stock drivers.

    So for someone who is more up to speed than I on these things, ie pays attention. I assume the PAC SWI-CAN interface will allow me with some other mechanism translate the CAN bus volume control for the Cayenne into some format that a CarPC can understand? I see a wired infrared output and surely assume someone has a driver for something like that, but thought maybe there was a stellar integration. This would allow me to fix the one pet peeve I had with the Cayenne when I drove it. The 1990's sort of Navi screen and interface. Plus modern Google Maps, Bluetooth, and my whole music collection could be had on a cheap Windows 8 machine.

    My concern is the time bomb of a repair in the Benz. As long as the motor doesn't go until I own it for free though I could easily part it out for more than $20k lol

    If you mod at all, boost wins

    Welcome to the IHoP v.2

    Indeed! That kind of goes with my original point. The P will whip the benz in just about everything I recon. And as for reliability, I don't think the MLAMG has a real leg up on the CTT even in worst cass reliability problems.Not everything: That is an S too, not a great video and I can't find one but everywhere you read says the ML wins in the straights.

    From a dig, the original Jeep SRT feels quicker than the new one. If it weren't a pos inside it'd be fun to own one.

    Tires, brakes, oil changes I'm used to, it's the surprises. Of course there are a ton more Cayenne Turbo's in MN than ML63's. Typically relates to cheaper parts and repair. More ML's though, just not the good ones.

    No warranty. Work would lease it for me and at the end of the lease I get to keep it. ALL repairs would be my responsibility thoughWeird that the screen is non functional. They aren't going to include "broken" in a sales pitch. Just to be clear it isn't that exact car as I can't buy until December, but the idea of getting a $25k beast that in three years is mine for only the price of repairs. Now I understand. Yes I think it is a the only vehicle that is a solid upgrade from what you have in almost every way.But you were also the one adamantly citing their lack of reliability ruining the Porsche reliability perception

    That and my low ML63 is 10x the two vehicle either my old Silverado or F150 was. It does WAY better. Of course you can't get much larger brakes nor more power.
  24. Do realize at the same time there is no controlled definition so it is a rather easy specification to manipulate.
