A 1997 Carrera S spotted in Moscow!! Same color and same Porsche 18" Technology wheels as on mine. You can tell by the metal valve stems and caps. The spokes are hollow, can you believe it? Super strong and light, aircraft grade really.

The consensus among the Porsche Aristocracy (993 owners), is that the 991 is the worthy successor to the 993. Well done Porsche!!

I'm going to risk being run off. I was a mechanic in a Mercedez dealership as a young man. A collector had just bought Clark Gable's gullwing Mercedez and wanted some door handles slapped onto it so he could drop the car into his car museum. Our service manager yells out to our smart-assed, red headed mechanic, Chris, a ham by all measures, who grins all the way up to the service desk, grabs the service clipboard, and saunters back through all of us out to the car while purring: "Well, look who got the assignment. Couldn't have picked a better guy."

A minute later, this classic car rumbles in, a bit of grind in the tranny, a hint of blue smoke from the pipe. Then--CRUNCH--as Chris drives the car onto his lift.

We break into loud applause.

Now, the collector has a car with nice, new door handles, a noisy tranny, a smoky engine...

and a bent belly pan.
