wet Wet WET!!
It ended up being the 15-17 hours of Daytona. Unreal how even the best of the best could not overcome the hydroplaning - just too much water.

Re: Bore Scoring! Who knows for whom the bell tolls...

Personal opinion, but I think any negativity towards Flat 6, LN, et. al. is just denial: People get a 996 at a great price and then find out that there are more than a few issues that can happen, and they just don't want to come to grips with reality. They'd rather bad-mouth the people that have don...

Re: QuickJack - anyone have one?

Interesting. Are those the SUV adapters that are giving the 911 a little extra boost? Looks like the process was: up on the Quick Jack, down on to the cement blocks, then back up again using those tube-spacer-things to get an extra half-foot. Are they something that came with the QJ or are they home...

QuickJack - anyone have one?

The reality of getting an actual lift for my garage is doubtful - a normal garage with a low, finished ceiling pretty much precludes anything but a scissor type lift. Even a Max Jax would be too tight - just not enough room side-to-side. I realize that with the Quick Jack that you trade lift height ...

Reminds me of an old John Huston / Jeff Bridges movie: Winter Kills A bunch of eccentric guys would drive out in their tanks and shoot at each other. :)

I thought that Tomfoolery was now a Class-B felony in California.

Re: In-line pix feature needs to be fixed

So basically the performance characteristics of the site are somewhat analogous to our beloved 996's - stable, but unpredictable, reliable yet unreliable, runs great...until they don't. :) I find the desktop version a lot easier to use than the mobile version....or maybe it's just me and this iPhone...

Re: Now that's a CRACK!

When I had the engine gone over last year, we did new plugs but the coils were still all good to go. This was at 82K. It's amazing they last as long as they do. ;)
