Off to bed....

Schumi 04-14-2010 12:26 AM

sweet jesus guys, I want this one:

2002 Porsche 986 Roadster Cabrio - (Boxster)


Really are some great deals on 986's in california.

porsche4life 04-14-2010 12:28 AM

Your down payment money is sitting in my safe.... ;)

Geronimo '74 04-14-2010 01:45 AM

Man those Boxters are cheap over there, they would cost more than twice that price over here....

GH85Carrera 04-14-2010 05:48 AM

That boxster has a salvage title. That kills a lot of resale value right there. And it's a chick car :rolleyes:

porsche4life 04-14-2010 06:25 AM

As long as it is bought cheap enough I really wouldn't worry about a salvage title.... Its a driver... not a collector car....

Geronimo '74 04-14-2010 09:04 AM

What does that mean, salvage title? Has it been in an accident?

porsche4life 04-14-2010 09:28 AM

Means a number of things.... Wrecked, stolen, been swimming... Most likely wrecked and rebuilt...

Usually it means some insurance company considered it a total write off. It would cost more to fix than it was worth. As soon as they pay off the policy holder the car belongs to the insurance company. They don't want a car so they sell is as salvage.

I have seen some scary cars that are "salvaged." Unless I knew the complete history of what and how it was fixed I would never touch a salvaged car.

Many cars that have an airbag deployment are totaled because it cost so much to repair the airbag system properly.

porsche4life 04-14-2010 10:13 AM

Ya ya ya...

If it hasn't been swimming... and I can tell it was fixed right... I'll buy a salvage car if the price is adjusted accordingly.... If I just want something to drive....

HHI944 04-14-2010 10:50 AM

You'd be genuinely surprised at how wet a car has to get before they'll total it..............................

RKDinOKC 04-14-2010 11:25 AM

It's not an S, It's a girls car.

Schumi 04-14-2010 11:30 AM

Never understood that mentality. Doesn't matter to me.

If I can afford the S, I'll get one.

Automotive Sexual profiling. Girl = Cute, Boy = Performance

Geronimo '74 04-14-2010 01:30 PM

I have never driven one, but I sure would like to try. I bet they're a hoot to drive, even the least powerfull versions.

Besides Schumi, you already have long hair and pinkish lips, go ahead, buy the girly version, nobody will notice...
J/K!!!
:D

GH85Carrera 04-14-2010 07:38 PM

It is almost my bed time, so good evening guys. :)

porsche4life 04-14-2010 09:53 PM

Evening boys.... Just went and got the wifi set up in my grandmas house... Delivered her new laptop as well... Such a shame... Its a nice machine... all she does is play those stupid treasure hunt games...

I give it less than a month before I am getting phone calls b/c something doesn't work..



In other news... I met my future landlord... I will be living in one of his duplexes in the fall...just not sure which end and when I will move in... Depends on the current tenants.

Geronimo '74 04-14-2010 10:41 PM

Morning Beeotches,

Sid, are you moving out to live on your own, or is this lodgement for when you are at school?

porsche4life 04-14-2010 10:44 PM

Have you been living under a rock for the last year?

I've been living in an apt with a HS bud.... We got some less than savory neighbors(read drug dealers and petty criminals) Been riding out the lease... Buddy is being deployed to Afghanistan.... I'm moving to a 1bd place so I can have peace and quiet.....

Geronimo '74 04-14-2010 10:46 PM

I thought so, you're too young and irresponsible to live on your own.... :p

porsche4life 04-14-2010 10:48 PM

I pretty much have been living on my own..... My room mate is barely around....

livi 04-14-2010 10:50 PM

Morning, folks.

The only time I had a room mate it worked out perfect. We were both laid back and relaxed. Our schedules were perfect. There were times we would go for a week and not see each other. We both made regular beer runs so neither of us ever came home to a empty beer refrigerator. Neither of us left a big mess in the kitchen.

Good morning guys.

Geronimo '74 04-15-2010 06:01 AM

Morning Glen,

I'm done at work, going home, work out, then chil.

I have a friend who had a roommate/housemate, that was a complete slob. A nightmare...

porsche4life 04-15-2010 06:40 AM

D I forgot to mention that your tools got here yesterday. Parts got here today. Water pump should be here tomorrow!

GH85Carrera 04-15-2010 06:43 AM

Have a good Chill out Geronimo.

You probably know your namesake is burried in Oklahoma. He is burried at Ft. Sill near Lawton.

nynor 04-15-2010 07:59 AM

good morning, all.

sid, glad they got there on time.

porsche4life 04-15-2010 08:27 AM

Sid has lots to do these next few weekends. The new CDI came for tge NX250 today as well. All kinds of toys.

RKDinOKC 04-15-2010 10:12 AM

And you scoffed at me for getting a Range Rover.

GH85Carrera 04-15-2010 12:18 PM

Richard, did you get the A/C working in the Rover yet?

RKDinOKC 04-15-2010 01:49 PM

Yep A/C on the Rover is working great. Just a couple of fitting leaks fixed and a 134 recharge. Time to start cleaning.

porsche4life 04-15-2010 05:23 PM

Richard I'm not sure what you mean.... I'm doing routine maintenance on the 944 and upgrades.... the CDI on the Honda is the result of being a 20yr old dirt bike.... just rattled the solder joints loose....

Rick V 04-15-2010 05:38 PM

They are fun cars, this one is going on the block soon.

porsche4life 04-15-2010 05:42 PM

I'd be hot for it if it wasn't silver.... I'm not a silver fan.... ironically...

Rick V 04-15-2010 05:42 PM

Well Sid that blonde driving it goes with it

porsche4life 04-15-2010 05:46 PM

That's supposed to sweeten the deal somehow?


So how are things rick?

Rick V 04-15-2010 05:48 PM

Things are what they are, I think I am getting my head squared away and some major changes are soon to be in place, then things should be good.

porsche4life 04-15-2010 05:50 PM

Still moving soon?

Rick V 04-15-2010 05:51 PM

Trying

porsche4life 04-15-2010 05:55 PM

You've got all my info... let me know when you are coming through.... I'll get in contact with Glen and we'll all get together....
