PPI involves walking to the car, checking that tires are inflated, check engine oil, check coolant, check that there are no warning lights or weird noises when driving. Pay the man, drive off.

Brillant! hahaha

Wow, the mechanic that conducted the PPI for the buyer of my 996 took two hours looking over everything and I thought that was too long.

You must not live in a quiet neighborhood...

Uh oh, not as good of a reputation as it first appeared. Also, looks like he has married DT's sister.

It was if he kept looking at the tires and switches on your dash...

None of this makes sense. Foster's is a respected Indy around here and they'd know about intermix/etc. I assume at this point this is some sort of weird *** joke post.

I bet it was a slow day in the office and they were all sitting around thinking how can we screw with the Rennlist forum. There is probably a betting pool on how many responses it gets

Ok. I am bored at a dance recital. 300 performances and my daughter is in 5 so I have lots of time to browse rennlist and contribute and make theories.

Did anyone else notice groovzilla showed back up at about the same time as this post?

If that's the case, these guys are comic geniuses. "MILSHAKE" will live forever in the 996 Forum lexicon.

Many shops are getting out of doing PPIs all together, it's not worth the hassle.

Not only are they getting out of PPI's, they are getting out of work all together. Most shops now a days, give you a quote for the work, and then sub contract it out. So right after you drop off your car for service, they ship you car out to get it fixed.
