Regular unleaded is back down to just over $5 a gallon at Costco. Joy.
I almost filled up the Grand Cherokee for just $100 this morning.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Insurance renewal time for the "collector cars". I upped the 280Z value to $15k, which might not be enough? Closest comp I can find is:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978- ... 80z-117-2/
My car is little more original - I have original paint as far as I can tell - not quite as good condition because 45 year old enamel paint is old and chips easily. A buddy with a 240Z suggests 20k minimum. The 240Z is a much more desirable car despite not being as good as the 280Z.
I upped the beat up 996 Turbo to 40k. Anyone's guess here. Tiptronic with 180K miles but all new high-end suspension and soon a manual gearbox swap.
