Drove the new Turbo to work, put down $100 for insurance, paid $18.50 (!!!!!) for a temp tag so I could drive it.

Hit 120mph WAY faster than I did in my 944S, put new front tires on it. I really like the car, and I'm amazed at how much better it is than the '87, and it's pretty well sorted.

The 83?

I doubt it, I had to get them to pull it off of the to be crushed pile for the rack.

There was still an 86 turbo, late NA and a 924.

What did you need off of the 83? I may have it.

Gave two test drives to interested buyers (VERY interested buyers). Mixed emotions. I have a lot of time (and money) tied up in the car, and it has given me an amazing amount of enjoyment in return. But life goes on.
