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.
Brian: Don't let "them" fool you not an inside joke...maybe an urban myth...but inside joke...No!

Thanks KC. She shows her age a bit in the cosmetics, but the powerplant is still smooth and strong. First and foremost a driver's car and I'm just hopefully getting started.
I have a question for you knowledgeable PCA folk... if my car belonged to a PCA member and was in Fl and or TX how can I contact previous owners? Is there a VIN registry I can access? I really want to know the history on this car further than the CarFax and few receipts I have. The IMSB and clutch and air pump were swapped in 2014 in TX at a big indy shop, RAC. Owner's last name at the time was Reed, with a sporty sounding first name.
Anybody down further south know or have an idea? No idea what the car looked like at that time. It came to me trying to look like a 996 GT3RS

After two months of vacation driving from Dana Point, CA to Hampton Beach, NH AND BACK... I put 7500 miles on the ole 2000 996 C4 Tip without, let me repeat WITHOUT any issues. I think she deserves a wash and wax, and an oil change, heck maybe even a new dash cover! LOL (Yes did an oil change at 5,000 miles in the drive away of family)

You have put more miles on your car in 2 months than most owners do in multiple years!
Kudos to you good sir!
