Update if anyone is remotely curious. I realize that rates differ by state, but today's shopping yielded some numbers for comparison:
Existing policy with Hagerty: $677 for the coming renewal
Same coverages, except $2000 higher insured value, from Leland West: $367 with PCA discount.

Re: Break Bleeders
With the size of your fleet, [and since you have a proper lift] it just might make sense to up the ante for a better bleeder set up and a compressor that's up to the task. I'd be inclined to avoid Harbor Freight when you upgrade. :) Practice the most on the vehicle that get's driven the least. :)

Re: 996 Values going up, up, up
Fingers crossed. I think my grandkids might be the ones to actually profit off my 996

Re: Insurance for the 996
It seems like you're trying to avoid "big box" insurance co's but we recently did as the commercial says and switched from Allstate to Geico at a savings of about 45%. Allstate kept steadily increasing my premium with no tickets and no accidents and I'm 37. I have all 3 of my cars with th...

Those wheels are really Fuched up. 8-) Guys over on 914world.com thought the Fuchs looked a little strange on this car. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/porsche/914/2450003.html#&gid=1&pid=15 Notice anything odd in the pictures? Here’s one: E82F9ABA-93D7-4D26-A9AA-82AFA9A03864.png...

Insurance for the 996
I've been using Hagerty since I bought the '99 996 back in 2017. The premium has steadily climbed, as I'm sure most do. But I'd like to shop around for alternatives that offer the agreed-amount policy like Hagerty. Even the insurance for the daily driver 2013 ML350 and the never-driven '06 Mini Coop...

Re: Battery-powered Battery Tender - does it exist? And if no, then why not?
A charge controller similar to what the smaller portable solar set ups use? The other idea was convoluted, but then again it was motivated by Frunk's inquiry. At least I got my NOCO GB-70 charged back up after a long winter sitting in the back of the ML350. Even after months of cold, it was still ab...

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.
