Smartest thing is for me to do nothing I think. lol




I'll stop the thread highjack and we can get back on the 991 TT/TTS topics. Thanks everyone.


That makes it easy. No wrong choices. Buy, enjoy, flip, buy again. Just watch the price structure.

Plasti-dipped the silver lining today. Might be hard to live without a silver lining…

If I don’t like living without a silver lining, it is reversible…I’m optimistic about my chances

Unfortunately I'd be paying a premium for sure. In fact it didn't sell on BAT (only made it to $45,750) but I'd have to pay a good bit more than that, especially after tax. Made offers but the guy over bought and claims to be taking a loss.

Very clean car though. Doubt I'd be able to "Flip" if the bubble is bursting. Plus, I'd be spending $1500 for new set of tires, $750 for new Bilsteins, and probably $3000+ for a full frontal PPF job, so I could drive it without worry.


Here's the BAT auction.

The market spoke loudly. At this point in time it is worth $45,750. He should have sold it. Will be worth less in time.

I'm guessing I'll have to pass on it.

Let's just say it was an interesting experience.
LOL, ... yep, it's easy to get spoiled and complacent driving our all wheel 991's, and then get into a different high performance car with only rear drive.

Looks like a stone, hit on the wheel side of the radiator. Must have come off the tire.

Very Sorry for the needed repairs, but thanks for the informational picture. Looks like there are multiple pock marks on multiple horizontal tubing. I’m shocked that something could sling off the tire and past the fan and then hit the Hx. The fan must have helped the launch.

Unreal.
