That would require me being a "good" Porsche owner

I know what needs to be done (buy a new clock spring or go the McGruber approach), so it's more of getting off my ass and doing it than anything else.

How bout this then...

The blinkers work (and I am one of the few people in this country that uses them!), they just don't automatically reset. So if I have the music up or the windows down there is a chance those behind me think I'm in my 80s

And yes I know my hand signals (there is a 4th I'm more likely to use though ) as my dad drilled them into me, though I am in my 40s so I guess that doesn't count.

"Bore score and seven years ago..." {you can finish the sentence.]

I'm counting my blessings, as so far with my 99 M96 there is no oil consumption, no smoke, noise or exessuve exhaust tip soot. Since the weather here is crap, I'll spend some time cleaning the exhaust tips on the inside...for a change....to be able to monitor going forward.

Great advice here. An abundance of wisdom.

I can't quote the source right now, but my favorite is "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it a fruit salad."

Have a great weekend everyone.

Meh, your mufflers rotted out two winters ago, that's the only reason the tips are clean.

Works for me. If I can't see it, it ain't happening

Gnat,
Your pipes look fine

Well, thanks for joining our little hole in the wall Jake. We appreciate it, despite some of it coming with bad news!!!

Does that look black to you? Once you go black, you never go back! ha!

Did you use a finger to wipe the inside of the tailpipe to see if appreciable difference in consistency? Pics are different in lighting so looks could be deceiving here, besides the passenger side need to be adjusted horizontally.

In the interest of just getting this off my mind, here are mine. I think they look fine.

Wait, so now we have to finger the sump and the tailpipe?
