Great, I would stick with the Bosch. Probably has a lot to do with living in Germany for a while. My stove, refrigerator, water heater all Bosch, lol. Thanks for starting this thread.

Ex Military??????????????? We lived in Germany for 5 years early 90s for that reason. Bosch Battery was on my 996 when I got the car 3 years ago so I stuck with same brand with breather tubes. No complaints. From Pep Boys about $110 about a year ago.

Finally put in a new battery today. Got a group 49 Bosch battery at Pep Boys and it was a perfect fit. Washed her up and went for a ride. Now I will struggle trying to decide every morning between the the pcar or the bike. Life's tough decisions I know.

Yes 20+ years service here, and now retired. I was stationed in Germany for almost 9 years. Ja alles was gute.

Great looking P-car BostonCarrerea4S. Which wheels are those? Are they 19's?

Salamit mama. The backdrops are nice but I'd take the island views over this any day in the Philippines. Here is one my wife took when we were there a few years ago.

They are 19inch DPE S20s. The wheels look great but it did take over 2 months to receive them. Had to special order them and it was a process.
