Now the hard part. I will be emptying our savings account today to head to Cincinnatti to pick up the car. Oh, yeh. we will visit family.

We have not decided what to do with the 964. It is getting sway bar, Rennline engine carrier, and professional installation of harnesses. I hope that these will enhance the price for an enthusiast if we decide to sell it.
Cool, can't wait to see it. Are you guys going to bring it to Porschefest?

Congrats! John is a first-class guy, a true sportsman and one of the nicest racers in PCA. I'm sorry to see him leave G class.

Congrats dude! So is the 993 going to be Carolyn's DE car?

If your 964 does go on the block, please let me know.

Congrats on the new car. I guess I will not be the only white 993 any more. It looks like it is very well set up.

I need to shake down my S2, but we'll see if the new owner to be is willing to authorize that.

Agreed. I also understand why my father did not want to buy a car from people he knew. I just could not low ball John. I think considering the market, we have arrived at a fair price which I am trying to knock down by a few bucks off of to cover fixing a couple of very minor issues.

Thanks. I am looking for driving lessons, so save me a seat and I'll have one warmed up for you.

Hey what am I, choped liver? I want to play too.

I prefer to talk to Cindy cause you can't handle non-44 prices

I do not think that I can afford the rental for race weekends, but I like how you think.

Wish I knew you were going to buy his car. He is the world's worst negotiator. You likely could have asked 25% or more off of the car and he would have taken the deal. Oh, well. You have a good car no matter what.

LOL.

I think that he did fine. He had already dropped the price to current market value, so I think that i did fine too.
