Reminds me of that line in Dumb and Dumber- "Old people, while dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose in society."
I mean if you floor it in a Fiesta how does it flip? Thats crazy

It sounds as if he accomplished this feat in reverse!!! From the article "I just don't know what happened except that I lost control as I was reversing and suddenly I had hit the cars." |

If a 993 and a 964 cab are worth 60K pounds, this explains why all of our cars are getting purchased and shipped overseas. dang.

What is that in dollars...around $120,000!? Do I see some sort of arbitrage opportunity here?

Sure, a nice late model 964 cab would go for £20k and the silver 993 Carrera 4 might make £40k, if it were low mileage and great condition. Well, they would have before the global credit crunch at least

Welcome. Nice car.
After you fix the battery issue, you might consider this: I use on the Pcar because I drive it on the weekends. But I also use it on the family cars when we go on vacation. Great for the month long vacations or longer.
