Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Last Monday it was -4 degrees in the Kansas City Area. Yesterday it was 65 and sunny for some of the day. Typical midwest weather. The streets are still pretty wet & salty, so I took advantage of yesterday to clean the road grime off the 911 with some Griot's Garage waterless car wash spray, fol...

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds

I read somewhere that 90% of all 928's ever built are still out on the road.......the rest made it home under their own power. :mrgreen:

True. All it takes is one more re-run of Risky Business and one gullible guy to take the bait. :)

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds

WHY do these goobers always store the car outdoors with the damn windows DOWN??? If they are broken, at least COVER the thing. A Harbor Freight tarp is better than nothing....at least it keeps the resident wildlife comfortable. Or duct tape and a plastic bag like most of them do. I would not take th...

It really is nice when people do good things that they don't really have to do. Good story. :)

For sale or? CTEK Wall Hanger 300 charger mount

During one of my moments of buying hysteria online [a pox upon thee, PayPal] I bought a heavy duty mount for my CTEK charger, hoping to get it off the floor. The issue? It's way too big. This unit is for the larger size CTEK chargers. I did not read the fine print....hell, I didn't read ANY print. C...

Re: QuickJack - anyone have one?

Really leaning toward the QuickJack. Being realistic, changing wheels and doing minor maintenance is probably all I would ever do. No engine / trans drops for me. Logically the QJ is probably all I would ever really need.

Re: QuickJack - anyone have one?

The finished ceiling is 8' 2", but the steel beam that runs laterally across the ceiling brings it down to 7' 6". Where the Porsche sits, the beam would contact the top of the windshield if the car was raised high enough. The Danmar might work, but I would have to do some serious measuring...

Re: QuickJack - anyone have one?

The Danmar unit is still on the list, but I would have to remove some shelving and maybe a cabinet on the outside garage wall to allow for it. FIRST I would have to check the slab. The house was built about '62 and I know they did not anticipate lift installations back then. 8-) While the Danmar lif...
