I was northwest of Marysville 2 weeks ago and saw 2 old (I think) radial-engined warbirds in formation, but too high for me to be sure what they were.

Rich guys being rich is my guess

Just tried it, works fine for me could search cars, get results normally

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

It's $0.15/round... What's fair? I'm not going to take a loss on it.

Just FYI last time I bought .22LR at vances 2 months ago I paid $.05/round for regular old plinker ammo. The stingers and mini mags are worth more.

Good luck with sale

Right, got rid of the IMS, and at least in the 911s I have yet to read about the newer 9a1 motor having any bore scoring or cylinder chunking issues. Don't think the smaller boxster engines were as affected, and really it's internet-tastic for the most part but still affects resale and peace of mind.

I can think of at least 3 people that autox regularly on the older motors, 2 of them over 100k and none have had ims, scoring, d-chunking, etc issues.

Any thoughts on the 2nd gen (987) Boxster S?

I'd get a later one with the DFI motor personally, as opposed to the m96/m97 or whatever the previous ones had

They removed SOME boost, not boost entirely, right?

Racing politics LOL

Last time I went downtown to Plaza 1 I didn't have my badge displayed. I was stopped by security before I even opened the door. I am Caucasian. The security guards are always on edge in my experience. Plaza 1 is the world headquarters of the company and there are tons of people in and out everyday.

Last time I was there I had my badge in my pocket, shoulder surfed someone in and hopped the turnstyle. Nobody seemed to care? Might have even been in my taliban-beard sportin days.

Time before that I forgot my badge, came in one of the back doors behind some dilberts, followed them through the turnstyles and walked around with impunity.

ILLUSION OF SECURITY LOL

Lotus are cheap.

 

 

The base 996 in stock form isn't anything to write home about. Sure you can pick one up for a cheap, but keeping it running will be another story. If something happens to the motor, it will cost nearly as much as the purchase price......

There are very few motors, and shops that rebuild are booked 6 months+ out. A running used motor is generally around $10k give or take a couple, and rebuild will run $15k-$18k. Once the motor goes, a clean roller is worth usually $5kish. That being said, working on them isn't hard, parts are comparable to bmw parts $ and the failures are well known.

Only 300 hp, but the performance is very strong for that power level. Stock for stock a 996 will be .3-.5 behind a 5.0 coyote stang in the 1/4, and about equal at autox on the same tires.

I hear ya man. Corporate life is LOL. That being said, my family used to own a 4-unit building in UA and sold it because we were there every other week with fixing things, landscaping, mowing, cleaning, just nonstop bullshit.

So people go the other way too, from rental to corporate 8-5 M-F to get some freedom in their off hours.

I don't know what the rental market is doing other than casually seeing places around here renting out fast for what seems to me like too much. If you want to jump, go for it. Plenty of time left to put it back together if you crash & burn.

Is a non turbo car a 996? May be a dumb question....but I always associate with turbos and odd exhaust notes.

996 is the generation of car, generally people refer to the twin turbos of that generation as 996tt to differentiate from the base cars

Pretty sure we have been under invasion for awhile now.

All we have to do is find a nice place with tons of natural resources, immigrate in such quantity to be able to out-produce or out-vote the indigenous, keep hold of our culture without assimilating, and BOOM a generation or 3 later- peaceful takeover.

Needs moar Teddy, less franklin.

Come hang out with me on a Friday or Saturday night in the ICU at Grant. I'll teach you all about GSWs. We've got plenty. Sun's out, Gun's out.

Seriously? inb4 CR field trip!

If you want to spend $10k-$14k, an e46m3 vert. Seen then for as low as $9k running and driving but high miles, to $16k with 30k miles in like new condition

If you want to spend $15k-$20k, 996 of your flavor

LOL at verts being SO worthless compared to their coupe counterparts

Wrong, 2 pedals LOL

Fuckin pointy elbows. Hate pointy elbows.

2 pedal LOL

Nah, but nice car though

That's a lot of blind turns for sure.

Proof that any road is a racetrack once you clear the traffic out.
