Re: What's in your toolbag?

My abs could definitely use a reset.

Re: cars and bids.com

Just helping out by bidding. And I wanted to give it a shot to see how their system works. So far, pretty similar to BaT. I noticed a hold on my credit card right away for 5% of the bid price. That's fine - that's exactly what I expected. If I get that car for $12,996, I'll gladly take it and pay t...

That 40th Ann car on carsandbids.com at my current bid would be a good example of "a deal I can't refuse." That's a beautiful car.
Only seen one in person. The paint is interesting.
And just like that, I'm out of the pool. It's now at $13,500.

Re: Search For a 914

Just be careful to check any car in person. The vast majority are crap, even though they may look good in pix and description. Concur. I'm not in any hurry, and the little red flags are waving furiously in the back of my mind. I seriously doubt I buy anything in the next 6 months unless it's just a...

Re: cars and bids.com

Seems like those sites are popping up every day. I am not a fan of them. They are pushing prices up on a lot of cars, as people see one or two unicorns sell online and choose to mark their regular cars up the same way. 90s and early 2000 fast Honda/Acura cars are now heading into stratosphere due t...

Re: Search For a 914

Copied from a post in the carsandbids.com thread so that I can document my thought process when later I look back and wonder "what the hell was I thinking when I did that?": . . . it seems that 914s with a reasonable list of needs can still be had for under $10,000. There's a yellow one do...

Re: cars and bids.com

I think once they get into the groove, they will expand the range of years. They'll need to. Good news that someone finally came up with an alternative to BAT. Maybe those arrogant pricks will fix some of their own shortcomings. The bad news is that half the Porsche world seems to be on a 914 quest...
