Carpokes

Hi, just joined. Bought a Papaya Metallic 2025 Macan S. First Porsche owned after years of dreaming.
I am Senior Disabled Vet (31yrs Army), living in FL. Am VERY tech dumb! So, the book and on-line manual very confusing to me.
Looking forward to getting help with questions that seem easy to most, but hard to me.

Welcome to Carpokes.
Congratulations on the Macan.
I and many others here are pretty tech savvy, I think we can help

Welcome Senior Macan Owner , and trust me there are plenty of other Senior Macan owners here--- my wife and I are two. Glad to have you here and great color on your Porsche! I saw one today at work and remembered how much I loved the color -- it stands out and looks so good on a Macan.

Welcome aboard Kevin -- we have a pretty strong 944 community here. You came to the right place.

@PorschePirate00
Glad you found the 944 group here on CARPOKES.
Lots of data, stories, help notes, revitalizations here.
Thank you for joining.

New Member check-in:
Previously owned 356 B coupe (bachelor days), currently acquired (retirement days) a stunning '02 Targa with a veeery expensive roof rattle. Anyone have info on the repair clips offered by Porsche (prior to roof replacement) or optional fixes (other than taking out my hearing aids)?

Welcome and not much help from me as I don't have hearing aids yet, so I can't hear squat. I am sure someone with better knowledge will pop on here , but we are glad you joined us. I got my first ride in a 356 eons ago riding in the shotgun seat at the end of a German Hillclimb -- organizers let folks run the course for 1 Mark at the conclusion. Pretty fun time for a 12 year old!

NEW to Porsche in general. Recently(5mo ago) purchased an 89 944 S2 with 87k on the clock, Black with Linen interior. All in all great shape..needed some of the usual work done to it. I'm in the midst of doing some minor mods.

If anyone knows where I can get a set of clear side markers for the front, please let me know. I've been hunting the leads down with no such luck. I'd be willing to pay good money and exchange my ambers as well if someone will part with theirs.

Anyways..Happy to see a great community helping others. It's what I'm use to being a long time VW guy.
