Back After A Long Hiatus...lotsa pics

Raek · 05-08-2021, 09:41 AM

Hey hey,

No idea who's new or not around here, but had to take a long break after a gnarly hit and run that took my M out of commission for almost two years now

It used to look like this:

Then this happened:

[

And, now it's about 98% finished...but, I'll save those photos for then.

In the meantime, I picked up this:

...and, I've gotta say it's gonna be pretty weird driving an ICE vehicle when I get it back, regardless of the S/C

Either way, I'm getting stoked with it being so close to complete, so figured I'd get reacquainted.

Best looking futuristic wheels ever on the Taycan !
But a pain in the A$$ to clean them ...

Congrats mate !

Damn...lowkey want a Taycan now

GORDON.M3 · 05-09-2021, 02:46 AM

those wheels are so sick...

roastbeef · 05-09-2021, 08:57 AM

Taycan is lookin slick.

jdamore · 05-09-2021, 09:12 AM

Welcome back, Raek! Looking forward to your photography.

Blindside_137 · 05-09-2021, 01:26 PM

Always been a fan of your cars. But holy shit talk about a welcome back. That is easily the best looking Porsche Taycan I've seen in a minute.

The quantity of posts has dropped off significantly the last few years but the quality it still top notch. Plenty of die hard V8 ICE enthusiasts keeping M3post going.

jra85 · 05-09-2021, 07:54 PM

Damn that was 2 years ago already? I remember commenting on that thread. I'm still here, coming up on 10 years of ownership in August

Will you be going with less tire stretch for the rebuild since the Taycan's setup looks...normal?

Helmsman · 05-10-2021, 02:50 AM

2 years hey, time is flying. Porsche looking great Raek, I hope you get your M3 back to the shape you want i.e. stunning.

Wally1552 · 05-10-2021, 06:33 AM

Your photos are the new hotness

GotV8? · 05-10-2021, 10:13 AM

welcome back.....NICE new addition to your rides. hope to see updated pics om your M3!!!

sterile stork · 05-10-2021, 11:14 AM

I'd love to read you ownership experience with the Taycan. As soon as our condo tower finishes the EV charging plan, I'm super tempted!

Vuu · 05-10-2021, 03:10 PM

Such a sick set up, welcome back!

Welcome back, love your cars but not their stance.
