Default One sneaky ripoff artist......

So I noticed that the blinker light on the tach was blinking fast for the last month or two, but I was too busy to check it out. So I found some time to check to see if a bulb was out and I found that someone had ripped off my very nice right rear tail and replace it with a cracked POS one!!!!!!!! I still can't believe it........

Anyone got a right rear tail light to sell.........

They're about $200, unbelievable!! at least they put one on your car. Most thieves aren't that considerate.

Did you have the car in a shop for a repair/service recently?

I think Pelican offers free shipping....so I guess it works out to about the same....

Hope this helps!

I was just kidding.... If it didn't happen to me I'd think it was pretty funny!!

I am going to look for a good used one as I have spent way to much on the race car this year and I have to cut back somewhere as my wife finally noticed....... :-)

I hear ya......I've been pleading poverty to my girlfriend...but she's been noticing the steady stream of p-car parts I've been buying on eBay showing up at the front door.

She wants to go to Florida early winter to meet up with my soon-to-be "inlaws"....oh joy! Her mother hates me, and her father threatened to kick the crap outta me if I ever break his daughter's heart.

It'll be a "holiday" I'd like to avoid...I've been telling her that money is tight right now to go....hard to keep that one going when there's enough parts arriving to build a new 964 from scratch!

32 years of marriage here........ A couple of months ago she says maybe I should get a tow vehicle/trailer set up for the track car so I won't get stuck at the track if it blows up on me.........

I get on very well with my g/f's parents - but I think that's mostly because I don't speak French and they don't speak English. They just seem to assume I'm a nice guy - although I'm fairly sure they wouldn't if we could talk to each other.

The last time I saw her dad / step mum, I had no problem with them - but the journey there and back was a nightmare. I know that arguments about navigating are fairly common between couples - but I didn't think it was supposed to happen when you had satnav!

Try Sunset Imports out of Oregon. I got left and right new ones for ~175 & ~157 respectively. Now I need a new center since that's pink and the new ones are a deeper red.

CKKrause, are you watching the left one? Don't know if there's anything you can do to protect it, but it seems this clever buggar could be back for the mate!
