Re: Bore Scoring! Who knows for whom the bell tolls...
I remember seeing information about the IMS bearing situation for years, but is the bore-scoring problem something that was recently discovered? Or have I been under that virtual rock on that topic?

Interesting. Basically, most any product will work - so much comes down to personal preference. This vid was pretty objective overall. Well done

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
The snow started today, along with the city laying down enough salt to replicate Bonneville, so no Saturday drive to the Porsche Club breakfast tomorrow. Instead, I'm putting a couple more coats of Bead Maker on the old dog. Nice to spend a little time on it, even though the garage is a disaster. So...

Re: Craigslist, ebay, Amazon and other online finds
Hope not [ those $6K headlights]. That price would represent a good portion of the overall value of even a pristine 996.
