That's nothing. When I'm driving one my un-restored cars around, it brings them out like bees to honey - seeing a humble, original-condition car is like blood in the water for these sharks. A few weeks ago, I was setting up a Westfalia tent on my bus to take pictures, and a guy rolled up and offered me a generous $100 on the spot.

I saw an ad for one of those "We buy any classic car" sites, so on a troll I sent them pictures of my '52 bug and told them I was interested in selling. They offered me $4500 for it.

It is really irritating driving this car with all the scammers around. Hell, the last time I had her out was a few weeks ago and some old guy was across the street and pulled up as I was washing her. Turns out he has a 997GT3 and a new 991.2 GT3 RS. He brought the RS by the next week, but talking Porshes with him sure is time consuming.


Bragging or are you really complaining?

That is what I thought. I was there for a week in 1987. Things have changed!
