Here's a fun fact my rollers replacement motor has lived in three different rollers...An 05, an 01 and now my 02.
2 of the 3 are still on the road. What does that say?

I agree, regardless of the Porsche, house always rules especially with the 996.

Of the 72% (37k) still registered and on the road, 5% are for sale at any given time, 5% have dead batteries, 1% are waiting for FSI to rebuild, and .0027% i own, the extremely rare Arctic Silver Metallic c4s. I may let my registration lapse so i can market it as an even rarer, off the road, Porsche.

and 24% of owners are waiting for someone to help them open their frunk to replace a dead battery.

The 05 had IMSB failure and was wrecked shortly after getting it's factory replacement. It then went to the 01(IMSB I think) but tuning was an issue so it was pulled and sold to me with 50Kish miles.

So...is there only one used M96 engine floating around Hawaii?
Reminds me of an old joke about breaking up with your significant other in a small town.
