I think mobil and shell work very well with any car. it is all rounder

for the ferrari, it is the old design with the new 1s coming out it is much easyer.
Porsche is well know for it back stepping out very easy and if you not a pro driver then 100% will crash it.
I think about 90% of HK ppl dont know how to handle a supercar :thumbsdown:

I would keep them.

So what if 2 rims will cost more than my 4 wheels?? Dont see the point you are making.... Never said my rims were expensive... I know they are not... I bought them for the look.

Wow - will all the porsches in HK that I see on the road at one particular time, it must mean that EVERYONE driving it are Pro Drivers... or all of them have crashed their Porsche or is on the way to crashing it.

I have driven 996 and Murcielago.... and I can guarantee that Murcielago is MUCH harder to drive, even with E-Gear.

I also want to do something on my windscreen as the wipers jumping during move.
