Re: Durametric fun - 13 days ago

thank you both. the range 1 ignitions…it MUST be counter/tool limited. i hit the rev limiter many times, every drive.

Durametric fun - 17 days ago

as a computer nerd, the number of range 1 ignitions looks suspicious! too late for techron? 159k on the original dual row IMS bearing. leave it alone while i’m having the RMS and clutch done?

(just cut shorter). i’m now bald. as for tariffs and pricing, and luring the next generation…i hope something changes from the brand. my kids aren’t interested in porsche, and i’ve probably bought my last new car from them. more and more, i want older and more raw and m

Re: TIRE ADVICE NEEDED - 8 months ago

not only will you get wildly varying opinions from the members here, but even articles from tire manufacturers vary. it’s up to you to figure out your risk tolerance for the types of driving you do. i’m a casual, fair weather driver in a moderate climate, and i would be willing to drive garage-kept, 12k mile tires beyond 7 years. i would keep a closer eye on them the older they get, and wou

Re: Great composition; lighting. - 10 months ago

thanks…but…it’s possible that i was driving one-handed towards a daunting turn while wildly taking 2 dozen iphone photos with the other…and one picture turned out. possibly. or i parked the car and patiently composed the photo.

Re: Seeing the great eclipse compensated for seeing this guy in the opposite lanes. - 1 year ago

no kidding. there were times when we were disoriented thinking the highway was divided by a strip of trees. nope, opposite lanes were right next to us…just nobody going that way. the cartoon was an accurate drawing of route 87 on the afternoon of 4/8/24.

eclipse report - 1 year ago

stayed with a friend in manhattan. left at 5am and made it to plattsburgh in 4.5 hours! great easy drive. lucked out and found an event at the city beach park and got in just before they closed the gates. eclipse was AWESOME!!! drive home…well, we paid the price…10.5 hours to get back. SO TOTALLY WORTH IT…SEEING A TOTAL ECLIPSE WAS BETTER THAN HAVING A 160k mi 986 WITH NO IMS, RMS, POROUS B

and now i have a question for you… - 1 year ago

i’ll be invading your state for the eclipse. starting in manhattan at 6am? thinking of driving north thru albany towards plattsburgh, with no particular destination, ok just pulling off the side of some road. what’s the buzz…will there be major congestion adding hours to the trip? is syracuse, then north a better route? we are literally driving 5+ hours, sitting around, driving back. becaus

infrequent clutch shudder - 1 year ago

‘98 w 156k miles. 16k miles and 8yrs on replacement clutch. original IMS and RMS. i don’t drive the car regularly anymore…sometimes several days in a row, other times not for a week or two. i’ve recently started having intermittent clutch shudder. by intermittent, i mean that it occurs only every few trips, but the whole trip. other trips are fine. no slipping ever. is this possibly an i
