As of this morning, I am officially Porscheless. Black beauty went to a new owner. Hope he enjoys it as much I have for the last 2 years. Now, once I get my family situated, my hunt for another one will begin... or, will it be something else? mwahahahahaha!!!! :twisted: :lol: Wow! You go through Po...

Your 996 looks tatty? Don't make me post pictures...

I know I'm jinxing myself, but I've had 7 Porsches in total, and they all were/are very reliable cars. In fact, it's hard to believe they come from the same company that pumps out Audis. :evil: As much grief as the 996 gets, it was on the back of 12 years of little more than oil changes, tires, and...

I know it's a fake wing, but it's a pretty good one and still makes the car look so much better. Why go back to the boring non-wing look? Unless your goal is to later install the much superior Taco wing. In that case I understand and firmly approve! :lol: Oh I never addressed this. I'm pretty sure ...

So why is it we hear about EVs bursting into flames like this, but not hybrids? It's not as big, but hybrids still have an insane amount of potential energy stored in their batteries.

Dr. Strangelove's car with the GT3 aero kit that's missing the GT3 aero front bumper Poor old girl's about to go under the knife and back to stock. :cry: Trunk sitting on my garage floor. All I need is time. Oh, yeah, and to get the grille painted. My fake GT3 is only bolted onto the area the grill...
