Default Favor in the NYC / NJ area?

Well I knew that selling my 951s would leave me wanting a new car down the road, and the plan was to buy a Cayman S when they start to show up used in 2 years. (By then I would hopefully be living in a place with a garage again). But a 968 Turbo S replica has come up for sale and I'm thinking about taking the plunge. Sure it is a terrible idea, but it is car I have always wanted and not one I would be able to replicate for anything short of a fortune.

So anyway, i'm thinking about making the purchase. But I do not have place to keep it, as a favor for a couple of months is there anyone in the NYC / NJ / CT area that would be able to house the car while I made plans to find a more permanant home for her?

how could you say no to such a beautiful face....

Well, that depends...how many miles / month are we allowed to put on it?

Sorry...our garage & driveway are too full as it is.

Thanks. Whats nice is when all the crap is moved out of the front of the garage too. It makes it like a 5 car garage, because the two bays extend twice as far as a normal garage would. This makes for alot of room!

Ian, I knew you would'nt be able to go porsche-less for long

I'm sure a fellow 'lister will be able to help you out. That car is a dream car for most of us waterpumpers!

I could until the last week of July-and maybe four weeks after that, but definitely until late July. I'm 20 miles due west of Manhattan, and I'm familiar with the car you're looking at, having met John and seen the car at Hershey. (Actually, my car can be spotted if you squint in one of the shots you posted).

Wow that thing looks like a beauty. I say go for it. Just curious how many miles are on it and is the engine turboed too or is it just a body look alike. Oh and sorry but in a family of porschophiles we seemed to have filled up our garrage with german speaking cars.

Ian;

I have 7500sqft of warehouse here in central Pa, but it is about 4 hours west of NYC.
