Trust me Pong, no one misses being there with everyone more than me.

Stick with the Mobil 1. The Royal Purple will make your tranny sound like a cement mixer... Maybe you and OFE can do a road trip out here and I can work on your cars. Then to make sure they are up to snuff, we can head over to Daytona for a few laps. It's only a couple of hours from here

Chris - Glad no one was seriously hurt in your accident. At least you were in a giant piece of iron to take the hit. Totalling out a town car ain't easy... Take it easy, and have an extra beer for me....

Chris,

Sorry for the incident. I hope all occupants are fine. Having totalled my M5 and nicked my RUF, all in one year, hearing about any car accident makes me cringe.

I hope the insurance company comes through with an equitable pay-out as well.

Good luck and be safe.

Boy do we miss Bob around here already.

Do NOT use Royal Crapple!!! I wish I had asked for opinions before I put it in my last 993. Bob is right; you'll think you installed a cement mixer. That was my experience.

I've tried Swepco and Mobil 1. The Mobil 1 might be a tad smoother.
