Way cool! Lot of work, though.

Default Not sure if this is a win or lose

We haven't driven L's '92 964 C2 400 miles since it's last emission test 3 years ago. We've been meaning to really try and sell it for a couple of years. So finally decided I'd get it tagged, inspected and cleaned up. Then see if I could sell it before the end of summer.

Back story; we bought the car 10 years ago or so as a grad school graduation present for L. Completely stock except for the radio. It was her daily driver for years. Until we got the 996.

So I finally got off my butt and got everything clean and legal last week. Guy drives by the house, sees the car and has to have it for a customer. We haggle over price for a couple of days. He takes a lot of pics and even a vid of the car running for his guy in FL. Guy likes it and wires the money to our account and the deal is done. Verified funds transfer with NFCU to make sure everything is on the up and up and sign over the car Saturday. FL guy is having a shipper pick it up this week for transport to FL. L said she'd miss it so we took some more pics and I made up a small collage for her office.

Congratulations, man. That was, and is, a beautiful car. I couldn't stop staring at it whenever I was over there.

"Guy drives by the house, sees the car and has to have it for a customer." To have the sale happen is a big WIN. I've had this happen several times but it never works out...

Watch Navy pilots save plane after it falls off carrier

Wonder how much airspeed it had when it went off the edge. Wouldn't want to be anywhere on the deck when that cable snapped either

Wires replaced after X uses, inspected after each watch during air ops (4 to 6 hours). I bet one of the first things the air and deck officers did was to pull the maint. records. Pilots are supposed to go to full throttle as soon as they feel the hook catch.
