I have a 911 coupe, but I used to have a Mercedes 560SL. Great top-down cruiser, but the soft top was totally manual. Getting caught out in the rain made for a very sudden stop and a literal chinese fire drill to get it in place. It was NOT easy. The car now resides in Denmark and the new owner is b...

Good luck with the suit, Frunk. Ya gotta watch them Californy people. A sneaky lot, they are.

That was yesterday? Good for them and the city, but I'm still not watching anything NFL. This goes back to the last player's strike...not recent events.

About the time I get the 996 "winterized" the weather clears. :) I too use the CTEK charger and a lot of the other suggestions above. I may have to hunt down that alleged notch in the door weatherstrip. I also throw in a desiccant bag ala' Griots Garage inside to help keep the interior ele...

It's more a question of what is NOT in the tool bag. I am a sucker for The Tool of the Week. From reading other Porsche forums, I've been compelled to acquire certain tools that were must-haves. Gotta have a bolt extractor set - metric and fractional: IMG_2786[1].JPG IMG_2787[1].JPG I read somewhere...

Poor Einsteiger only puts up with his Tip ‘cuz every time he goes out, he looks at that car and congratulates himself for having such a gorgeous 911. I can confirm that Einsteiger’s car is indeed beautiful. Great color and he keeps it in immaculate condition. My cars are all hooptie beaters next to...

This poll might be subject to a little confirmation bias, but I actually picked a tiptronic 911 due to some medical issues with my left leg/ankle/foot at the time. I wondered about my own ability to adequately manipulate a clutch. Naturally, they were able to fix the bulging disc in my back that was...

Since we're back on the unofficial schedule, we observe the Fight Club rule: First rule of Saturday breakfast is we don't talk about Saturday breakfast.

Today was my annual physical and the weather was good, so I thought I'd drive the 996 and top it off on the way home because the weather here in KC is supposed to turn crappy very soon. Bad idea. I took a shortcut on the highway to warm the car up faster, and the highway department was already out s...

Apparently there are not many Macan owners that frequent the Outpost. I've been thinking about selling the 13' ML350 and getting a smaller SUV for a variety of reasons. The Macan must be a keeper, as there are very few used ones for sale except at dealers. The two owners that I know locally are stil...
