996 Ownership Guide

Operating Your Vehicle
Step 1: Before starting the vehicle, check the sump, is it wet, or dry? If dry, proceed to Step 3, otherwise continue onto Step 2.
Step 2: You have a wet sump -- under no circumstance should you drive your car. Proceed immediately to the boutique engine builder of your choice and spend an additional $30,000. Do not drive your car after the engine is replaced as the engine will wear and it will diminish the value of your vehicle.

Step 3: Do not drive your car, it will hurt the resale value.

“Exotic” and “supercar” just don’t translate into much demand up there 😕

If it's a dry sump and someone spits on it, is it now a wet sump or a moist sump?

A lot of big off-shore money sitting in that city as well, no surprise the cars reflect that.

I miss the glory days of being 19 years old, driving across the bridge from Detroit to Windsor, starting the night with Labatt Blue, poutine, and 5-pin bowling at the Palladium. It would then of course go down hill as we stumbled our way through Windsor Casino, hit a few bars, then close the night at Cheetah's.

Canada is such a great place. Many fond, yet fuzzy, memories. Still have some leftover loonies and toonies laying around in the coin jars!

Hey. I love Detroit just as much as any other city I've been lucky enough to live in. They all have their pros and cons...., Detroit just has a huskier chunk of cons.
