'23 Expl. ST and '24 'Stang GT Prem., Rapid Red

Have been a Porsche guy for some years, but this summer traded the '23 Cayenne Turbo for a '20 ST in silver.. Really liked it but wanted bench 2nd-row seats so traded that for an Atlas Blue '22.. Then last week I agreed to trade that for a new Red one that should be here in about a month.. Bought after-market wheels and tires--Savini BM14s and Pirelli scorpion Zero All Seasons in 315/40-21--for Silver and have been keeping the tires and wheels as I replace vehicles.

Haven't had either of these long enough to make any improvements, but I have a stack of new struts, lowering springs*, and BIG brakes (front and rear) to install this nonsummer**.

This blue one proved to be an excellent hiway machine, averaging 72MPH for 905 miles on its way home from south Denver where I bought it.

* Just an inch or so.
** Phoenix has 6 months of summer and 6 months of nonsummer; it's NEVER winter here.
