If I could meet the previous owner of my car I'd punch em in the face for pointlessly rigging aftermarket security systems and cheezy assed L.E.D. tail lamps into mine.....course he did save me a few bucks by doing it sooooooooo.....

You should read my original "renovation" thread and all the glued parts that I had to replace. I did have thoughts of beating the previous owner with a rubber hose. It has cost me a lot of money undoing what the PO rigged. I mean how in the world glues parts together on a Porsche? Sick, lazy people.

Don't make me start talking about my last e30 where a hole in the passenger foot well was patched with masking tape!

I'll never buy another fucking Jersey car in my life!

Yeah, who the f*ck uses masking tape? That application clearly calls for duct tape.

In the business, we call those MaxAttacks. Usually happens after some poor sucker has his cracked block or d-chunk misdiagnosed as a blown head gasket or oil cooler. They patch it up just good enoug*

*looks around in a daze*

Wow, what was that all about? It's like I was possessed for a moment...

I do recall one incident involving a 996 where it didn't. Spectacularly didn't. Which is ultimately how we all ended up here.

Poor Opie, I wonder if he ever got his car fixed...
