Re: Battery-powered Battery Tender - does it exist? And if no, then why not?
This is probably on some manufacturer's radar, as battery tech is improving at a geometric rate what with all of the electric car nonsense...I mean investment. :) I have a NOCO GB70, a pretty hefty lithium car-starter thing that came with cables to hook up phones, etc. I experimented by hooking up m...

I saw Pensacola and thought you may have re-enlisted and gone down for a little refresher training.

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?
I had a few misc. errands to do today, so why not the 996? Great day for February in these here parts. A couple of highway trips reminded me that I need new tires - badly - these BF Goodrich have become really noisy after 6 years.

Re: Good Week @ 996Outpost.com
Well...at least they were not trying to hide it....as if they could. The problem is that now, every owner of a pile of rust with a 914 badge still attached is firmly convinced that they have a mid-five-figure gold mine.

Is that the section of Shay Rd known as the infamous "Dead Man's Curve"??

Re: A fuel-ish question
I was advised to avoid BP 93 octane for my '87 Benz V8. I had been using it and the difference showed in that old motor. I remember the good old days when I was first driving in Omaha, NE. There was a gas station in the late 60's called Vickers-Safeway that had multi-grade premium fuels, all the way...

Re: Battery Drain
This is very non-scientific, but if its possible to darken the garage enough to tell, maybe there is an interior light bulb that is switched on but not bright enough to be obvious. I've had that happen on other cars.

Re: A fuel-ish question
Or for the truly ethanol-paranoid, Sta-Bil 360 is something that can be used to deal with the hydroscopic tendencies of the dreaded ethanol. I figure as long as I can get it, I'll use ethanol free. For my 1987 Benz 560SL, my indy guy strongly recommended avoiding ethanol, citing fuel system deterior...
