You may laugh, but this "tool" will become so radically powerful for researchers that the laugh is on you.

Anyone heard of Euromasters in CA? They restore pre '99 911s. I'm looking to buy a 964 and was thinking about going through them. They're quoting me around 27K which includes new paint job, new interior, new tires, engine tune up, new windshield. Does this sound reasonable?

Tcabler - I would start a separate thread for that, you will get a lot more responses.

Do you have any pics of the car - mileage, etc....

Seems a little high, but more information would help.

I'm with you, believe it or not. We can now analyze huge sets of data that were otherwise useless only a few years ago... I am really into it. Soon all the video on the planet will be catalogged and analyzed frame by frame... out of hand.

Unfortunately, if you actually knew something about how it worked, the glibness might be taken seriously. Enjoy the popcorn.
