Those 996 values are really plummeting.

$14K!??? Might as well throw your money away.

You're all probably right. But the guy is nearby so let me check it out and find out for myself. I know my **** and I'll let you guys know what happens.

Go to Vegas and put 14K on red or black (your choice). If you win you can buy a nice 993. If you lose you're ahead of the game over buying that nightmare.

Go ahead and check it out. If you decide not to get it, I have a bike for sale that will be perfect for you. Asking $11K for it.

i can't understand why the front looks like this. it's too high off the ground and the wheel isn't in the center of the wheel well.

BECAUSE ITS A COBBLED-TOGETHER POS! Please save your money for something else.

Since you "know your ****", I will be waiting patiently to hear how this turns out.

PS - may want to post this to the 911 forum, they may be a bit more encouraging.

Well if you know your ****, then you know this is a premium sample of **** not copied by many.
