Re: Road Trip Tips for 996
Inside joke. I think it was a question someone asked on Rennlist, whether parking at an angle would somehow affect the oil or start an oil leak, or something like that.
I think some of the legit issues these engines have makes you paranoid. I find myself ratcheting down my craziness once in a while.

IMSB of course. Nothing generates irrational and illogical fears like the IMSB.OceanBlue2000 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 06, 2018 1:59 pm Inside joke. I think it was a question someone asked on Rennlist, whether parking at an angle would somehow affect the oil or start an oil leak, or something like that.

Georgia road trip. Myrtle Beach SC to Marietta GA into the mountains and back again. Around 1000 miles round trip in just a few days, no tow trucks, flat tires, didn't even pull out the tool kit, and took the chance to wax her in the shade under the trees. Awesome trip.

Re: Road Trip Tips for 996
Nice pics. Thanks for sharing. Hard to believe that's a car with 177k miles on it. But, when I sold my '99, it had 148k miles and ran/drove/looked fantastic.
Edit: Now I see the 9960 stickers!
