The Amazon music app is free. Since I have an Amazon Prime account, I get free access to TONS of free music. There is so much free stuff from the artists I like, I can't believe it. I'm a huge indy music fan and I can't remember the last time I bought music. Just search for your favorite artist and download the ones you want to your phone.

I do, sometimes, feel guilty not buying music directly from these mostly under the radar artists. When I go see them in person, I tip them directly what I would have spent on their CD.

Tom, I know how you feel about me, but I thought you might enjoy hearing about what I found and bought.

It took me since June or July to find it, but I bought a 2014 six speed manual Base model Cayenne. It’s an absolute hoot to drive. It’s not a sports car, but for an SUV is as close to sports car handling as I think you’ll get, at least without modification.

I am not sure what you think I think. I don't agree with your politics but I am pretty sure if we avoided that subject and religion we could have a great time drinking a beer or two and chatting.

I did not know they offered them with sticks. Congrats on that!

They brought a very few base model sticks to the U.S. I can’t determine the number but I’m pretty sure that it’s only three digits. Took a while to find it but it was worth the wait.

I am thinking of another bite of Cayenne. I now trust that vw diesel v6 strongly. Although I did not know it back then i know now they offered it in vw audi porsche ...maybe a few more. I would not be surprised if it is also put in MB.
