why classic Porsche parts are not a good investment?
because your mom, spouse, gf will trash them.
Last night, I found out two of my lightweight 3pcs 16x8 wheels with racing tires were dumped into the pool. Mom wanted to fill the unused swimming pool in the backyard of the family home, which i don't live there. By the time i found out, the wheels were missing... under lots of trees and other unwanted stuff from renovation. Digging in the mix of dirty water and stuff, I found one wheel. After an hour, I surrendered. I plan to make a coffee table with the lonely surviving wheel, to remind myself the horror and mistake I made. Let's hear your stories too. |

I would disown family members for that.

Wow! Yeah, I'd make enough stink about it that they'd think twice before throwing out my used dental floss.

Sorry, but why did you give up? The pool is a finite space, you know it's there, so dig on!

Don't store your parts at someone else's place. If the part is worth keeping store it yourself.

Joke may be on your mom in a few years - sounds like she is going to have a big and dangerous sink hole by backfilling a pool with junk.
