Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I did the dreaded coolant tank swap - it lives up to its reputation. Afterwards, the coolant level sensor wasn't working so I went to the Porsche dealer to get a new one. They'll have to order it, but the trip wasn't a total waste as this was sitting in the showroom.

This is why I do as much of the work as I can on my car.

2. These cars are not reliable enough to drive on 1000 mile trips. You're better off renting a truck w/ car trailer or having it towed to your destination. Renting a truck might be cost prohibitive. Alternately, you could cut a hole in the driver's side floorboard and Flintstone your way to the des...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I installed the new V1 and the difference is dramatic. I had just a few alarms from automatic doors while driving around town. On the highway I had none. The old one had been alarming so frequently that I had mostly left it off for the last year. Does it have built in Bluetooth to connect to the ap...

Re: Collector Car Insurance Companies

I pay a reduced rate with Allstate for the 996 limited to 5,000 miles/year. I think most insurance companies offer similar options.

I sent it off with $289 to Valentine One and they will send me a brand new one. That's a discount of $110 - not bad considering mine was about 18 years old. The ne...
