I have room in the garage for one more 996 after re-working the parking situation... #thankfulForSunroofsAndChainHoists
Did they make a Matchbox-sized 996? I think you'll need one for that.

Just for the hell of it, I took a 5 minute break to search "Porsche" on ebay. I found this wrench, described as a "Pelican SSI-T-1 Specialty Wrench for Porsche." It doesn't give any more info. I don't have one in my toolbox, but now I must have it.

Hmm, looks like the Porsche gas mileage class action lawsuit payment for one of our '06 Cayennes came through today. Anybody else get one?

I didn't own the Cayenne when the class action lawsuit was open, so no soup for me.

Got my check for $200 for the '16 GT4 a couple of weeks ago.

Guess I'll use it to fill up the GT4's tank, put it into "Sport" mode, and see just how low I can get the mpg...correction, maximize my "smiles per gallon"... :D

Maybe Chevy will have one of these for the Corvette. The 9MPG I'm averaging since last replacing the battery is somewhat less than the 9.1MPG I was anticipating...

On the plus side, 9MPG is more than twice the 4MPG I get when I autocross it.

Understeer: You will hit the wall with the front end.
Oversteer: You will hit the wall with the rear end.
Horsepower: How hard you will hit the wall.
Torque: How far you will move the wall.

Gone hunting with Alec Baldwin and Dick Cheney. Back soon.

Looks like a distributor wrench. Every tool box needs a couple. Buy it quick before stock depletes.

Pretty sure they bought the car from 'Cuda.

Also, looks to me he (or the makeup dept) chose a patellar graft for the ACL instead of using an allograft (dead guy tendon). IMO, always use dead guy parts. That's why we have the "donor" option checked on our licenses... once the 996 is backwards in a ditch on fire, I'm not gonna need them any more.

When I blew out my ACL skiing and learned I needed an allograft, I offered to host a “free beer” night at Kaiser as soon as there was a rainy evening.

They did not think it was as funny as I did.

Scammer replied to my friend's panamera ad...saying he will buy the car and send cashier's check. So, we are telling him that currently the car is in Bahmut, and needs to be picked up there.
