[DJC911]

ElDorado -- Thanks for the short cut. I took a gander. I can tell you that I don't mind the small stuff...fluids, accessory belts, tires, brake pads, and the like. So long as they don't all happen at once. I didn't expect the car to be 100% maintenance free. But the $$$ for parts described there (except where the motor goes because of a snapped timing belt or dead water pump) are still better than the price of the unobtainium typically required to keep a 24 year old 911 roadworthy. In any event, at least if I had two, in theory ONE would be working (well, I can dream, anyway).
