Can’t answer your question (I’m sure others will chime in) but congrats and enjoy for many miles (or kilometers) in the best of health!! How about some pics?!! Enjoy!

Hope everything has/had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for many things including my LP family!

Change is tough but I’m slowly getting used to the new site. I agree with comments about quote format. Still would like to see numbered posts, and an indication of the “thread starter” (like on Rennlist) so it’s apparent who started the thread (rather than having to go back to the beginning of the thread. I don’t see a problem with LP getting back to former glory. It’s an “addiction” and I missed it when it was down. I don’t check as much as I used to but as improvements are made, and as I get used to the new format - it feels more and more like the “Old LP” - only new and improved. Great work on the improvements and thanks for all the effort and hours to keep this place “alive”..

Bella!! Great pair! Enjoy in the best of health!

Reviving an old thread - glad it wasn’t lost in the transition. Yet another example of how LP has changed my life Bought an air fryer and InstantPot at Costco last week (my initial thoughts that Instant Pot had something to do with cannabis were of course not realized). I’ve made a whole chicken in the air fryer. Crispy on the outside (but we toss the skin anyway) and juicy inside. Took just under an hour for a 4# chicken. Faster than conventional. Cleanup is easy so far - the non-stick coating rocks. The main reason I bought the air fryer is to make cauliflower sriracha “wings”. A fave restaurant has them and I love ‘em but prefer not to eat (conventionally) fried food. Found a recipe for a batter. Cauliflower pieces came out crispy and browned yet soft in middle. Made sauce of sriracha and honey and a tiny bit of butter. Wow. So delicious and way better than restaurant version which lose crispness and start to get soggy by the time they are served. If I use the air fryer for nothing else - it’s worth it. A keeper. Will review InstantPot after a few meals. Over the years I’ve wished I had a crockpot but shopping for one was overwhelming. Too many choices. Too many mixed reviews. Too much hassle. Between the comments on LP and a unit at Costco (I trust their vetting system) I figured I have nothing to lose as I can always return it. I like that it will sauté and pressure cook in addition to slow cook. I had a crockpot years ago (wedding gift) but it was early technology and didn’t have removable vessel so it was a major pain to clean. It sat unused and eventually we got rid of it. The InstantPot is much more versatile and looks like it’ll be easy to clean the cooking vessel. More to follow once I’ve given it the true test...

Of course looks are subjective...beauty is in the eye of.... For me it’s the lines and proportion of the FF. To MY eye they are out of proportion, and it’s not a graceful line. It was the same on our 2015 Panamera. The line of the roof into the hatch didn’t “flow” - there was a “hump” and it was the one thing that I couldn’t get past. Otherwise - great car. I’d have to see a rendering of an FF with a more graceful hatch/rear configuration. It also must achieve the right proportion of “nose” to “tail” and roof height and roof line. Hard to say whether a simple change to the rear would be enough - but again - very personal and one man’s Cindy Crawford (or write your choice here__________) might be another man’s Meg Griffin (or fill in blank____________) Get what makes your heart go faster and enjoy. Who cares what anyone else thinks?!!

We learned with our 2015 Panamera GTS - doesn't matter how good a car sounds, or how practical - if it isn't beautiful to look at: PASS Our 2018 doesn't sound quite as good but it is a gorgeous car from every angle and a comfortable, fun DD. FF would tick every box except beauty. If you can live with it then have fun! I'd go perfornante based on all I've read.

At least you've got some interesting garage wall art, and a good story! Coulda been SO MUCH WORSE!!

Yes - GO STEELERS! Nice to have black/yellow back again! Thanks David and mods for all your hours! Would still love to see post numbers. When I open a thread sometimes I’m not sure if it’s the first post or if I’m seeing it “mid-stream”. Especially if it’s been awhile since I logged on.

Stunning! Enjoy in the best of health!

Glad it’s back i even logged into FB to find updates (found nothing). Not a fan of FB so I’ll just check back here daily if it’s down. Looking forward to the improvements. Thanks mods for all your work. Much appreciated.

Exciting couple of weeks!! Congrats and enjoy in the best of health! Time to update your signature

To my eye it looks like an after-thought that was stuck-on To each their own. Do what makes YOU smile!

Yes yes yes!! (now I need a cigarette...)

Thanks Jonsav for weighing in As for 7 years - I figured who could really "prove" it lasted that long - but it doesn't matter. In 7 years if we still had the car, we'd probably be replacing PPF and re-doing ceramic anyway. I agree about putting it over PPF except for the slight difference in sheen. You don't really save much by telling them to only put it on paint so we just have the entire car done. As for the car that's fully wrapped - it does make it wash easier, and as Fortis said - bugs come off really easily (more so than naked PPF).
