Hah, ok wasn't sure where home was, since you mention you are on a few coasts often.

Next spring then it is

Real reason is I want to see if you look like your avatar :-p

Replaced the suspension with m474 up front and Koni's in the rear.
Then celebrated mission accomplished with a Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout.

It handles like it's on rails.

I haven't done much lately because I've been super busy and I got drunk and ebay and ended up with a salvage title 996 that's taking any free car time I get. While I'm waiting for the inspection to get the rebuilt title I stole its wheels because the 968 needed new tires and I'm waiting to get tires until a set of 993 Targa Speedlines I bought are touched up. They're 18" BBS LM replicas and it's going to be hard to take them back off now because they're so pretty and ride pretty well to boot.

Damn eBay. Same thing happened to me, although I wasn't drunk. Now I have two 968s in the garage and one in the driveway and half a one under the deck.

I wonder what would happen if someone were on meth and got on eBay?
Probably buy a Carrera GT or a yacht.

I don't drink, do drugs or have any money. How does that explain my 15 ebay 968s or the 31 non 968s?
I think my 75 Carrera plate might explain it. "4MYEGO".
No impulse control.

LOL, my impulse control is the threat of divorce. Otherwise I'd have at least 3 Porsches and a couple of Ferraris.

Mine wasn't even that bad, just a repaired salvage titled car that is worth a fair amount more in parts than as a whole. I made a single increment bid over an hour before the auction that at that point had 36 other bids then went to bed. I went through my morning routine before having a faint recolection about something on Ebay so I checked to make sure I hadn't won and sure enough I did.

The seller was grumpy because right about when I bid he dropped the reserve to keep momentum going but it died immediately and I got it for well under his original reserve which was his part-out price. It's reasonably nice though, a 99 PTS Arena Red C2 with factory LSD so it'll be fun if I can straighten the paperwork out and worst case it's extra cash for other dumb things.
