Got a New Chase Car

wrsbmw · 11-02-2015, 08:52 PM

Here ya go, couple snaps. The other one got over 50k and the front air springs failed. I made them fix it on warranty since it was only 1k over and then I traded it. This one has more features and $5k of dealer addons I didn't ask for but some are OK, it's got ceramic tint, front bra and steelprotect or somesuch for the paint and interior and lojack.

Nice, I have the same but as a the long version.
About 5k kilometers on it now. My wife really likes the car but had some issues at the beginning with fender and door alignment and squeaky brakes. Brakes are not solved yet.

Very nice!

wrsbmw · 11-03-2015, 07:14 PM

Thanks for the positive responses. I like it, it will travel the 500 miles to the oil fields much better than the old one. It has lot's more headroom and I got the upgraded interior so the seats are heated and ventilated and have 14 settings including lumbar and are softer leather. Better all the way around but not the big one because we just don't need that much room.

Very Nice! I am tempted to swap in my M5 for a Sport. It will end up being a wash, so that's a nice bonus as well!

LOL! You would't believe how the mileage on my 991tts has dropped with this latest set of mods. Yes I drink a lot of gas but at $2.50/gal for premium it doesn't matter and of course that is how I make my money to buy these cars, produce oil and collect royalties so I have some motivation to use lot's of gas. The guy that drilled my first well has five raptors for his team. He is of the mindset that anyone in the oil business ought to be using high power vehicles and consuming fuel.

haha, yes that certainly would help being in your industry and also paying so little for fuel... we pay the equivalent of $7.5 per gallon over here, so we can't all have thirsty V8s for daily use

loving the RR sport V8

I had RR before as well, a sexy SUV but too many little problems.

We got it back and everything looks to be okay again.
Not engineered like a Porsche but it looks very nice and very comfortable

This one had to go in last week for some battery drain problem. Turns out a software upgrade to the body control module fixed it. Kind of surprising a software upgrade could fix a battery drain or that the drain would occur only about two weeks after we bought it.

It's definitely not the same drive as the CTTS but it's got it's fine points. The interior is pretty nice and it sits higher so it's more like a truck and definitely great for off road which I do actually use.
