Nah, I'd take a mini-vacation to Florida and drive that bad boy home - after getting the belts done of course!

The car was picked up today.
Oil was changed, I got the instrument lights working (the dimmer switch was bad, I bypassed it) Found 3 more electrical cords wired to the fuse box - apparently powering various radar detectors over the years. Timing belt was tensioned (which is actually pretty easy on a 928) Window switch was left inoperative Transmission still leaking - he was overfilling the tranny with ATF Still has the oil leaks. Apparently he is learning - no more bodged on wiring. He and I had a long conversation about the car - he does want to sell it and asked if I would like to buy it - I told him that I could not in good faith offer him more than $1000 for the car. He refused to sell. He is moving out of state and he will not be our customer anymore. To any\all Porsche mechanics in GA, keep an eye out for a white 1983 928 with burgandy interior. The aluminum foil under the hood will give the car away No sign of socks this time, though there was a bag of dirty laundry in the car - which may have contained socks, but I could not bring myself to look. 3 X rated DVD's were also noted in the car I really don't want to know.....

AFJuvat, I have the original creative engineering thread bookmarked. Pure gold. Hope you have a fun time again! :-D

Was there ever a picture of this guy's car? When he shows up in GA, we should find some Pelican members in the area to put socks on his antenna when he leaves it, maybe put a few under his windshield wipers...

We've found that socks have structural properties no one has thought of!

i know its a little off topic, but i have recently encountered such mysterious engineering as well
a couple months ago i had a guy call me and tell me that his car had a fuel leak and he wanted me to look at it. he told me that he had patched it twice now and its just not working. so he brings the car in, and we stand around talking a bit, and he tells me that he had to patch it a third time before he left his house. constantly im looking under the car to see if this thing is pooring fuel like a waterfall all over my garage floor, but no it looks fine. anyway his girlfriend shows up to give him a ride and i get under there and look to where he told me to. and sure enough i see a bunch of rubber pulled around a fitting with a "ballon" like section about 4" around and filled with gas. (the rubber looks at first like that kind used when they tie off your arm when they take blood) anyway i remove the bulge and notice a oddly defined dimple pattern in it. then i begin removing the rest of it, and i get it all off, and i slide out from under to grab some new fittings and look at this pile of plastic and i kid you not, make out what looks like a condom. then on closer inspection and the help of some pliers sure enough we have 3 condoms used as fuel line patches the guy shows up in an hour with his girlfriend and asks if i had finished. i said yes but then i went on to describe my findings, and just as i began to ask him why he did this his lady friend interupts and says "what do you have condoms in your car for? we dont use them, thats why you wanted me on the pill!!!" so i quikly write up a bill, pull his car out for him, and silently escape inside. anyhow i just figured i would share this story of mine into the creative engineering thread ian
