Fleet Update: 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S

2005 Porsche 911 Carrera S Rear

Our 911's driver-side muffler started to sound like a rattling tin can, so we made a special trip to the dealer. We also had them inspect a peeling, aluminum engine-displacement appliqu. When we went to retrieve our car, we discovered the appliqu hadn't been installed, so we waited an additional hour and a half for them to replace it and the air box it sits on. But we still had an improperly operating muffler system, and the dealer failed to warn us that both rear tires had cord coming out. Alarming, since they'd been working in that area when they replaced the muffler.
