It came with Continental ContiSport P5 tires, which are nice tires. The rears are OK - probably have 6 or 7/32nds remaining tread. But the fronts only have about 4/32nds tread. The auction condition report said 4/32nds all around, so I was planning to replace them anyway. They make a significant am...

IIRC 5chn3lly has a large extended family (wife's side). If correct, then just invite them all over for a nice family reunion. In addition to all the joy that'll obviously bring to 5chnlly and his wife, the clan can go through all these apple delicacies like a swarm of hungry locusts. Problem solved!

I sold the white 2018 Turbo last night to the first people that looked at it. A nice young couple in their mid-30s. It is their first Porsche, and they were very excited about (as well they should be - that car is gorgeous). I think they are going to join PCA, so I hope to see them around at KCRPCA...

Ooh, a 996 Spider!

(I'll see myself out, thank you very much.)

The wife had a 1981 Prelude when I met her. I loved that car sunroof and all.(she's not too bad either) I bought my '85 new as a college graduation present to myself. It was a great car.

Aside from the mechanical vulnerabilities you noted, we didn't see the value for the upcharge paid. FWIW when we were looking to replace Her Majesty's SUV with a new ve...

So...somebody can't take very mild good-natured ribbing, and got his panties in a bunch when it became apparent to everyone he was taking advantage of a grieving widow. What a wanker. You did the world a service with your comments. He, not you, needs the etiquette book.

They're called "stealerships" for a reason...and not a flattering one. AutohausAZ, FCP Euro and Amazon are my go-to sites to check prices. Suncoast Porsche and (old data coming) Porsche Marin are two dealerships I've used who had competitive on-line pricing. I'll add Gaudin to that list. T...

A springtime Outpost get-together in KC that includes a tour of the KCAM and some BBQ approaches the "can't-miss" level for me.

Seems to me an appropriately-worded letter from an attorney might get more appropriate compensation from the auction house. Just sayin... But it is Louisiana we're talking 'about, not that anything shady ever happens there... ;) Well, legally, the value of the time I would spend fighting them would...
