We did. I'm still standing here watching the movers unload. We ended up buying in Apex... Our house in Philly closed last week.

As for my aero it's sitting waiting to be washed - it will be so nice to have my garage and tools back.... Much as it's nice to be able to drive it most of the year, it did lose it's garage queen status for a while. Once we get everything unpacked I'll give it a good detailing to make up for 7 months of being a daily driver.

That is so nice to hear. Not sure where Apex is, my Dad lives on Beech Mtn, near Banner Elk. Also good to know some residential RE is moving.

Apex is near raleigh and Cary... Nice small town.

The real estate market totally sucks... Brutally so. The bigger kicker is that the mortgage companies make life as difficult as possible. We have near perfect credit scores and enough liquid assets to buy the house outright and they still made life hell. Bank of America were so incompetent throughout the process that we'll be closing our accounts with them once were done with the move.... I hope we don't have to move again soon.

So where is beech Mtn?

might be the best thing that could have happened to that car

Hey, I've loved every minute of it, but I have to say that I hate to see clocking up the miles and I do feel bad about not being able to give the regular detailing jobs to keep it looking spiffy... I'll have it back to normal soon and Phil will be proud of me again.

Congrats on the move Wayne.

Perhaps this is the cure for the dreaded IMS issue.

Looking at the pics in the ad:

1) in the movie, once the 996 is on the street and turning, it looks like a CAB with a hardtop! (look at the rear roofline/rear window contours)

2) Lets see.. "lease" a cab for non stunts.. couple hundred bucks.. Or buy a then new 996 for $75-90K. I agree that it was certainly cheaper to buy a $10K SC and spend another $10-20 making it look "good enough" for a few takes of a crash scene than waste money on a real one.

Thanks Mark!

IMS issue, cooling, really, we could take it as a complement that an aircooled car would want to dress up as a 996.

I was wondering why he asked me to send him a blown up paper bag.
