Thanks, everyone! My FiL has a post-hole digger...I'm inclined to go that route as they're deep, but not a lot of holes. I'll try one hole tonight and see how it goes...

Are Carrera 4S any faster or more powerful than regular 911 Carrera's? Beautiful work as always, Tim!

Not sure if anyone has some tool recommendations, or equipment they want to rent to a CR member... As part of my carport project (see link below), the manufacturer recommends 18" diameter concrete pillions that are 36" deep for each of the six 3"x3" columns supporting the metal roof and bracing. I'm all about dat DIY-life, but I grossly underestimated the equipment and tools needed to break through a 2" asphalt driveway and bore these holes. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126188&highlight=carport Sunbelt recommends breaking up the asphalt (their augers don't have teeth to cut through the asphalt) and then using either the teeter-totter or Toro Dingo-style one-man augers. Cost will be about $160-$400 and I would need a truck with a trailer hitch. Dingo: Tow-behind: http://www.windhamequipment.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/W-02.jpg Happy to do it, but before I go that route, does anyone have tool recommendations as alternatives? I don't mind taking more time to do this myself (especially not having to worry about a daily-rental fee), and I have a large air compressor and 220v for larger power tools. I already plan on using my air chisel and bits to break a hole in the asphalt. EDIT: I do know that I can use a two-man gas-powered auger, but the recommended limit on that is 12" diameter. Thanks in advance!

Love that color as well.

I loved the Sonoma GT bodykit back in high-school (like a Typhoon but much, much cheaper ) Look forward to seeing it soon in pics and in-person at CC&C!

Awesome recap and beautiful pics, Doc! I'd try to get my wife to join me on a rally if I knew that these were some of the sights and destinations...really cool stuff. Agreed, that's a crazy amount of Doc cars in that warehouse!

Can't hate on a $500 Cooper-S. Good luck getting her running!

LOL. DEAD! DISASSEMBLE JOHNNY 5!!!1!!1

Alright, let's get on with it... Ignore the Eldorado...a buddy is stripping the Northstar V8/trans out for a Fiero swap. Also, green BBall hoop is going bye-bye since I got the mobile-base BBall hoop on the right of the pic for the keeds... Time to break out the kids' sidewalk chalk and a HF tape measure. Used Absolute Steel's blueprints. Triangulated corners with a hypotenuse calculator...I'm within 1/2" an inch at every corner! Posts line up nearly perfectly. GOOD NEWS! The Lincoln door comes close to the middle column, but doesn't hit it. That would SUCK... Damn, Lincoln...youse a big bish. 20' carport and you barely fit Break up the asphalt...tomorrow will be the one-man post-hole auger to make the holes!

Your move, Camaro... Don't Ford and GM share the same 10-speed trans?

You got room in the secondary driveway behind the Z? I have to get rid of the Eldorado in my driveway to free up a spot. Plus, I don't have a trailer, and the title issue gets me. I'm thinking it could be an RWB-tribute car. Like, this is what a 928 would look like (including "Idlers" white lettering on tires and "RAUH-Welt" banner on windshield) had Nakai-san been active in the '80s and his bodykit activities had been funded by cocaine dealers. I'd plasti-dip this thing all white and black out the trim and window tint...call it the Great White Shark. I'm tellin' you guys...if RWB, Magnus, and Singer are getting away with what they do to 911's, for $4k a widebody 928 with foot-wide wheels would command an audience.

https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/porsche-wide-body/6230277183.html Props for Jalopnik finding this jewel...5-speed 928 with THAT BODYKIT for $4k? I'm smiling looking that this thing. The only item that scares me is the lack of a title.

No one denies that human trafficking is occurring, but there's a fine line between understanding a social issue and identifying an actionable solution, and guessing cause-and-effect and getting it wrong. (<<<conspiracy theory/fake news) I sure hope people understand more than 2% of a story or issue before they try to solve it.

Of course it's the Kitchen, which is why you're allowed to post. I'm the one bringing up the fact that conspiracy theories make you look ridic.

I'll ask a favor: Lay off the conspiracy theories until something these guys put online actually happens. In the meantime, you guys look like morons for believing anything posted on 4chan. Plus, shame on you guys for saying recent suicides are tied to people being involved in child porn without proof.

Fuck. Yes.

Geez...I just got home from work and heard this. I was a big LP fan back in high-school/college days, and I really am liking "Heavy". I wish we could learn more about why people decide suicide is the only way out...

It's worth it if only it was a driver. $heeeeeeeit....even if it was running on 3 cylinders but still drove. ...and anyone saying "ZOMG it's worth it for a 911!!1!1" can go to hell since it STILL hasn't sold at $6750 and falling.

...along with the A7 and the KIA Stinger. I thought Honda missed a neat opportunity for the 2018 by not making it a "liftback". Definitely looks cool. I know it would appeal to business travelers who need a USA logo on the grille when they drive clients, or pull up to a business in the Midwest.

We have a fiberglass front door and a metal storm door. Western exposure, so in the afternoon the storm door gets NUCLEAR to the touch. The paint on the front door is faded and peeling because the storm traps so much heat from direct sunlight. We're replacing it with a "Mid-Century Modern" door/transom, and we will NOT have a storm door installed. While the storm door does provide some weather protection, it's absolutely not a requirement.

PHOTOBUCKET STRIKES AGAIN!!!

Foxbodies are definitely creeping up in price for good examples. From what I looked at, SN95s are hitting bottom-dollar from a depreciation standpoint. Might be a good time to buy. I'm reminded of Freddy "Tavarish" getting a $1000 Mustang GT convertible in recent vids...

If I was running 8s on stock GM parts, I'd have a shit-eating grin on my face like that guy too. Cool driver, even better car. Agreed...that thing just launches with no drama. Can someone explain to me his backup lights? Is that when he's on the line-lock? or a transbrake?
