I ratted them out already...again.

Took 'em out and gave them the Kristi Noem treatment.

Which is, I understand, more effective than the Dick Cheney treatment...

Decoding: LM2040 - Liqui-Moly 20W40? Nope...Liqu-Moly 5W-40 Synthoil Premium (Full Synthetic). LM2040 is this oil in a 1L bottle; LM2041 is the same oil in a 5L bottle. A well-known independent Porsche engine builder who's a member here recommended I use that oil (vs his prior recommendations) in m...

Motul 2040 (2041 in the 5 qt bottles) is my go-to now.

(Lord, please don't let this devolve into an oil thread!)

Billy...sometimes life gets in the way of enjoying our cars the way we'd like. Hopefully your medical issues are behind you, so that you can drive your FSI-powered 996 the way Jake intended.

If you ever get an itch for a "luxury" EV, check "sold" prices on BAT. Those suckers plummet in value big time, almost as bad as a Jag. A 3-4 year old Taycan typically hammers for 30-40% of new. A cheap and cheerful EV, like a Nissan Leaf, *could* be an option as a city car. Heck...

Drive safely 02! Looks like fierce storms are forecast in your path. I'm suddenly applauding my decision to fly to the car meet :lol: And Frunky even though we've texted I don't want to make it look like I'm ignoring you on here so THANK YOU and looking forward to seeing you! After-action report fo...

02 sent y'all PMs containing Friday's ETA and contact details.

...I can't say I'm heartbroken that murdering, lying, cheating, thieving OJ died of the cancer. I can't think of someone more deserving of the honor. Hopefully Johnny Cockring and F.U. Bailey will receive similarly just rewards. And let us not forget Robert Kardashian, not only for the OJ thing but...

On a logical note: I can't believe you don't carry a "starter pack" in the 914. Wait I forgot there isn't enough room for that.😜 There actually is a jump pack on the ground next to the wall. Despite its robust size, it clearly had nowhere near the cranking amps needed to start to mower......

A couple of thoughts: 1. Take a close look at/around the center radiator (IIRC Tiptronic cars came with them as standard equipment). Unless you've added some, there's effectively zero protection for the center radiator from taking damage from road debris (e.g. gravel) kicked up by other vehicles. I ...
