Need help? Sure, I have NO problem spending someone else's money. :lol:

Seriously!

You can't sell that thing. It's part of 996 history now as the most valuable 996 in the world!

60 would be awesome, but no. I'm waiting for another $5 k from insurance, which will bring it to about 48k. Will let you know when I get the final settlement, prolly a few months more. It ain't easy dealing with insurance in these matters.

Overall, not too bad for a 152k-mile tip.

Car looks great... get that other dual tail pipe fixed. You gonna keep her around or sell her to your friend?
