Jeep guys all think it has funny headlights, not round. It is the 996 of Jeeps.

Can we, however, just get it over with now and but an embargo on a 928/944 forum? We really don't need those type hanging around.
Yeah, 928/944 drivers are the worst.

Beats me, but as the 955/957 are slugging it out with the 996 for the title of "Cheapest Porsche" you are probably looking in the $3.00-6.00 range.
The one I bought a couple of months ago at the auction had 3 different sized tires on it, so when anyone test drove it, it acted like it had a bad transmission. I paid roughly the equivalent of the change I found in its ashtray and under its seat cushions.

Replaced the bow thruster control on my boat - It was getting tired and contacts worn so it didn't always engage and the flat buttons were a pain in the ass to push and locate when manouvering at dock.

Upgraded to the "joystick" model - So much better

Billy, you still have the 300zx? My father owned a 280Z back in the 80s. Great memories.

The 280ZX was my 16 yr old self's obsession. When these ads came out with the concept of leasing one (a radical idea back in 1980), I hatched a plan to scratch together enough cash to lease one for 30 days.

Sadly, the plan never came to fruition.

Yep! Mostly sits in the driveway getting lonely since buying the Pcar. Fun car but not a "modern" sports car. Torn between sending it away or spending a few bucks on it and keeping.

Welp, that's a new item on the list of "things I never want to buy secondhand..."

My prostate has never screamed. Well, there was that one spring break in Key West, but the records are still sealed.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.
