Funny! Must have been smoking some strange stuff to be able to come up with such an ad. Love it...

I use Mobil 1 FS x1 5W-50, it's a successor the "Mobil 1 Peak Life 5W50" which I used before, however I see that the x2 version has been introduced, don't know if it is worse or better.

And then afterward:

"Hey, as long as you're back there, those hatch pin receivers need to be adjusted a little. Here's a 10mm box wrench...."

Hilarious...well written.

EWWW! Glad we don't use the rear carpet in the S! I'll tell Mike to spray it with Lysol before we put it back in the car for the next owner.

My real accept price is $3500 and I may update the ad to reflect that. If it won't bring $3500, it may very well get stripped down and converted to LS1 power. In the meantime I could do the suspension and drive it auotX and HPDE days and let the 2.5 blow if it wants to. I'm about to have a lot of cash flow and will do my Miata 5.0 project first but I could easily question this as project car #2.

Have 944s doubled or tripled in value over the last five years? Have I been asleep at the wheel? Time to cash out on the S. She who must be obeyed wants to downsize into an apartment downtown, so I may sell the M Roadster, my half of the S, and the sedan and put some more $ in tot he suspension of the DD 128i.
