And not in a good way. It's one of those 'I should know better stories'..... and it has to do with the 993 replacement. Hint: overpaid, was underdelivered - big time. Can't talk about it now (literally), will update later once I have a good solid cry/scream/cocktail. Maybe not in that order .

From one Matt to another,

Have yourself a few good Martini's and get back to us with the scoop. If we can't help, we can certainly commiserate.

Hang in there.

I bought the GT3 seats that were in the car from Matt and I have been talking to him on an almost daily basis since. I know he is very upset as to what has transpired with this car. Even though, he has treated me as all of us expect to be treated on RL. With courtesy, respect and pretty much like a long time friend. He never once let his misfortune become mine.

Matt, you are a stand-up guy and you deserve to be made whole on this deal.

Thanks,

Thomas Sila

Well whatever it is, probably something that can be made right one way or another. Someone on here reminded me a few weeks back that 'it's just a car'. While true, the 993 is a whole lot more than just a car to this driver. Get up early, get a good workout in, stay away from caffiene and alcohol...the answer will come to you. You didn't get where you are today without the ability to solve whatever problem lies ahead.

Don't be swayed by Academictech. You'll get nowhere if you avoid alcohol and caffeine. And your friends will leave you.

We're here for you.

Best wishes Matt for a positive outcome. We're all here for you, which proves one thing, people are more important than things - even a 993.

OK I'll take a stab at it...

A Potato... When I was 4 years old, my dad pointed out an AMC Gremlin and asked me what I thought of it. I said that it looked like a potato.

Good motor... well, they did have a package that included a 304 CID V-8...

Did you buy a Gremlin X???
