Hi Everyone.

I am sorry if I did not respond to all of the post in this list. I really did not expect it to get so many hits. I know that my original post may have not been completely full of info everyone wanted and that was not my intention. I have just posted my car, so here is the link. I got some PM's about some of the parts and I will be in touch with everyone.

Thanks again for everyone taking the time out to look.

Sounds like a plan, but I don't have a dog and unfortunately WalMart's out of ammo (since everyone is worried about the democrats taking away their guns).

You forgot about passing out under the mobile home. The good part about being in the south is that you can put your 993 on the front lawn on jackstands (or bricks) and the engine on a stand outside your bedroom window chained to the Rottweiler.

If you take the engine out then she can't make you sell it because it's yard art.

This sounds like a nice swap, NYC pad for a hose and jackStands I do remember trying to give my 986 a bath on the side of the street, NYPD was not happy!

That being said, it sounds like you are selling the car for the correct reasons and your wife has a perfectly reasonable motive for asking you to do this.

Sounds like it was YOU who wanted to sell it all along.

Daryl, sorry to hear but in my book you're a hero for taking a hit to support your family.

(I can't understand if the folks here are serious or trying to be funny.....)

Your Bug looks awesome and I'm sure you'll continue to have plenty of fun with it.
I know that my '62 has been relatively neglected for the past couple years.....

Good luck brother!

Thanks Meister Fahrer,

I built that bug 20 years ago when I was in high school. It has spent the last 20 years sitting in my parents hanger waiting for me to move out of NYC. It is a very fun car with a lot of my youth inside it.

And when the C4S is gone, you can also have fun doing some off-roading in your LR3.
