Re: On Becoming a Macan "Expert"

The black one’s basically sold, and I need something to drive this winter other than the 996tt, so I bought a white over (what else) red 2015 Macan S out of the Seattle auction on Wednesday. It will arrive on Wednesday. It has 75k miles and no accidents. The thing I really like about it is that it h...

When Your 4-Post Lift Craps the Bed . . .

So, about a month ago, one of the two 4-post lifts that I have in my garage started puking hydraulic fluid out of the end opposite to the piston goes in and out. So, basically, it was spewing oil out of a spot that appears to be just a solid end piece. My initial assumption was that the weld broke w...

Re: On Becoming a Macan "Expert"

"You're so honest and compassionate. You should be... a lawyer." ;) ;) Ha, right! I settled a case recently that I did for a friend who got sued over the sale of a vintage Porsche. The friend was a retired guy and the buyer was, you guessed it, a lawyer. The entire case was made up. But, ...

Re: On Becoming a Macan "Expert"

So, yesterday I bought a 2016 Macan S, black over red interior, from the Dallas auction. It will arrive on Saturday. I had a post-sale inspection done on it at the auction, and it passed just fine. Being an S model, it isn't nearly as well optioned as the 2017 Turbo. But, it also only has 51k miles ...

Re: FRUNKenstein's 2002 996tt

Switched over to the winter wheels & tires last night. I bought a couple of wheels hangers last month that you screw into the lug bolt holes. They really make it easier to get wheels back in place. My low oil light came on, so I added about half of a quart. I have 14 months and about 3,800 miles...

Re: On Becoming a Macan "Expert"

Sold the 2017 white Macan Turbo today. I had 3 offers on it, all good offers. It sold to one of my friends in the local PCA. He had been interested in it from the start, but was traveling for Thanksgiving so hadn't been able to move on it yet. I am glad to see it go to a KCRPCA guy as it's a really ...

PS I think the seats are great. :P
Could be. But, today I had 3 legitimate buyers contact me. So, not if it was price or timing, but hope to have it sold this week.
