JPS and II-nd place bullet: it draws all energy from 996 turbo.

grey market, indeed. Not accepted by Porsche AG and older rennlisters either.

Thanks everyone for your answers and humor. I guess the guy on my BMW board sort of spooked me into thinking I'd have people hauling off my cars now that my license plate is out there.

I guess if they really want them, they can have them. It's kind of fun looking for a new car to buy! Heck, my bimmer's got 111k mi <a href="http://members.cardomain.com/stever500" target="_blank">http://members.cardomain.com/stever500</a> so if someone wants it, go for it! Maybe then I can finally get my 2001 BMW 740i Sport in Imola Red. I promised my wife I'd keep the 7 series till it was dead or stolen .

Steve,

Do what I always do; fill the tank with gas, leave the signed pink slip and a $20 bill on the dash, along with the keys. Presto; it's gone.

Ps: tell me where you're going to park it first.

To ca993twin

Thanks for the tip on getting your car stolen... I'll have to remember that the next time I run into another gamut of repair issues with my 7 series BMW and I don't feel like fixing it anymore. I'd probably get more from insurance than from a potential buyer .

And yes, DJ had the funniest previous post when he said that the reason he blots out his license plate # in his pics is because his car IS stolen. Great one .

I'm going to Miami Beach for 5 days starting tomorrow night and I'll miss Rennlist! Maybe I'll try to get my fix by stopping in on "The Collection" on Route 1. That's where I saw my first Arctic exterior/Burgundy interior 993 TT sitting on a showroom floor and it blew me away. Something about a car like that parked inside under flourescents that really brings out it's color and surreal appeal. It was 94 large ($$$) at the time, and I guess they are down in the mid $70K's to high $60K's by now. They always have some interesting cars to look at, though the sales staff there blew me out the door with barely a word spoke. Guess I'll have to stop wearing Grateful Dead tie dyes when "shopping" for high end vehicles!

Steve,
I am Pretty sure Miami Beach has internet connections. You can still stop in here, while there!
